Observational constraints on the optical and near-infrared emission from the neutron star-black hole binary merger S190814bv

K. Ackley, L. Amati, C. Barbieri +151

On 2019 August 14, the LIGO and Virgo interferometers detected a high-significance event labelled S190814bv. Preliminary analysis of the GW data suggests that the event was likely…

A magnetar-powered X-ray transient as the aftermath of a binary neutron-star merger

Y. Q. Xue, X. C. Zheng, Y. Li +14

Neutron star-neutron star mergers are known to be associated with short gamma-ray bursts. If the neutron star equation of state is sufficiently stiff, at least some of such mergers…

First results from GeMS/GSAOI for project SUNBIRD: Supernovae UNmasked By Infra-Red Detection

E. C. Kool, S. Ryder, E. Kankare +13

Core collapse supernova (CCSN) rates suffer from large uncertainties as many CCSNe exploding in regions of bright background emission and significant dust extinction remain unobser…

The Luminous Blue Variable RMC127 as seen with ALMA and ATCA

C. Agliozzo, C. Trigilio, G. Pignata +12

We present ALMA and ATCA observations of the luminous blue variable \rmc. The radio maps show for the first time the core of the nebula and evidence that the nebula is strongly asy…

Cosmic evolution and metal aversion in super-luminous supernova host galaxies

S. Schulze, T. Krühler, G. Leloudas +21

The SUperluminous Supernova Host galaxIES (SUSHIES) survey aims to provide strong new constraints on the progenitors of superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) by understanding the relati…

SN 2015bh: NGC 2770's 4th supernova or a luminous blue variable on its way to a Wolf-Rayet star?

C. C. Thöne, A. de Ugarte Postigo, G. Leloudas +13

Very massive stars in the final phases of their lives often show unpredictable outbursts that can mimic supernovae, so-called, "SN impostors", but the distinction is not always str…
