A crystal ball for kilonovae
Sarp Akcay, Morgan Fraser, Antonio Martin-Carrillo
The discovery of gravitational waves from merging compact objects has opened up a new window to the Universe. Planned third-generation gravitational-wave detectors such as Einstein…
Investigating the properties of stripped-envelope supernovae, what are the implications for their progenitors?
S. J. Prentice, C. Ashall, P. A. James +41
We present observations and analysis of 18 stripped-envelope supernovae observed during 2013 -- 2018. This sample consists of 5 H/He-rich SNe, 6 H-poor/He-rich SNe, 3 narrow lined…
Observations of SN 2017ein Reveal Shock Breakout Emission and A Massive Progenitor Star for a Type Ic Supernova
Danfeng Xiang, Xiaofeng Wang, Jun Mo +23
We present optical and ultraviolet observations of nearby type Ic supernova SN 2017ein as well as detailed analysis of its progenitor properties from both the early-time observatio…
Progenitor candidate for the type II-P supernova SN 2018aoq in NGC 4151
D. O'Neill, R. Kotak, M. Fraser +9
We present our findings based on pre- and post-explosion data of the type II-Plateau SN 2018aoq that exploded in NGC 4151. As distance estimates to NGC 4151 vary by an order of mag…
The quick and the dead: Finding the surviving binary companions of Galactic supernovae with Gaia
M. Fraser, D. Boubert
We use Gaia Data Release 2 to search for possible surviving binary companions to three of the best studied historical Milky Way core-collapse supernovae. Consistent with previous w…
The delay of shock breakout due to circumstellar material seen in most Type II Supernovae
F. Förster, T. J. Moriya, J. C. Maureira +35
Type II supernovae (SNe) originate from the explosion of hydrogen-rich supergiant massive stars. Their first electromagnetic signature is the shock breakout, a short-lived phenomen…
