A population of highly energetic transient events in the centres of active galaxies
E. Kankare, R. Kotak, S. Mattila +25
Recent all-sky surveys have led to the discovery of new types of transients. These include stars disrupted by the central supermassive black hole, and supernovae that are 10-100 ti…
A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source
S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118
Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…
Structured star formation in the Magellanic inter-Cloud region
A. D. Mackey, S. E. Koposov, G. S. Da Costa +5
We use a new contiguous imaging survey conducted using the Dark Energy Camera to investigate the distribution and properties of young stellar populations in the Magellanic inter-Cl…
SN 2009ib: A Type II-P Supernova with an Unusually Long Plateau
K. Takats, G. Pignata, M. L. Pumo +18
We present optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of SN 2009ib, a Type II-P supernova in NGC 1559. This object has moderate brightness, similar to those of the inter…
Massive stars exploding in a He-rich circumstellar medium. IV. Transitional Type Ibn Supernovae
A. Pastorello, S. Benetti, P. J. Brown +30
We present ultraviolet, optical and near-infrared data of the Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) 2010al and 2011hw. SN 2010al reaches an absolute magnitude at peak of M(R) = -18.86 +- 0.21.…
The host galaxy of the super-luminous SN 2010gx and limits on explosive nickel-56 production
Ting-Wan Chen, Stephen J. Smartt, Fabio Bresolin +6
Super-luminous supernovae have a tendency to occur in faint host galaxies which are likely to have low mass and low metallicity. While these extremely luminous explosions have been…
