Strong Evidence Against A Non-Degenerate Companion in SN 2012cg
B. J. Shappee, A. L. Piro, K. Z. Stanek +4
Even though SN 2012cg is one of the best-studied Type Ia Supernovae to date, the nature of its progenitor system has been debated in numerous studies. Specifically, it is difficult…
The Long Term Evolution of ASASSN-14li
J. S. Brown, T. W. -S Holoien, K. Auchettl +5
We present late-time optical spectroscopy taken with the Large Binocular Telescope's Multi-Object Double Spectrograph, late-time SWIFT UVOT and XRT observations, as well as improve…
Whimper of a Bang: Documenting the Final Days of the Nearby Type Ia Supernova 2011fe
B. J. Shappee, K. Z. Stanek, C. S. Kochanek +1
Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Large Binocular Telescope, we followed the evolution of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2011fe for an unprecedented 1840 days past -…
The Unexpected, Long-Lasting, UV Rebrightening of the Super-Luminous Supernova ASASSN-15lh
D. Godoy-Rivera, K. Z. Stanek, C. S. Kochanek +11
Given its peak luminosity and early-time spectra, ASASSN-15lh was classified as the most luminous supernova (SN) ever discovered (Dong et al. 2016). Here we report a UV rebrighteni…
Hello Darkness My Old Friend: The Fading of the Nearby TDE ASASSN-14ae
Jonathan S. Brown, Benjamin J. Shappee, T. W. -S Holoien +3
We present late-time optical spectroscopy taken with the Large Binocular Telescope's Multi-Object Double Spectrograph, an improved ASAS-SN pre-discovery non-detection, and late-tim…
The ASAS-SN Bright Supernova Catalog I. 20132014
T. W. -S. Holoien, K. Z. Stanek, C. S. Kochanek +32
We present basic statistics for all supernovae discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) during its first year-and-a-half of operations, spanning 2013 and…
ASASSN-15oi: A Rapidly Evolving, Luminous Tidal Disruption Event at 216 Mpc
T. W. -S. Holoien, C. S. Kochanek, J. L. Prieto +17
We present ground-based and Swift photometric and spectroscopic observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) ASASSN-15oi, discovered at the center of 2MASX J20390918-3045201 ($…
