PANTERA. I. Hunting for the Most Metal-Rich Stars in the Solar Neighborhood with High-Resolution Spectroscopy
Serat M. Saad, D. M. Rowan, K. Z. Stanek +4
The paper presents the PANTERA high‑resolution spectroscopic survey of 56 nearby metal‑rich stars, measuring their iron abundances and finding many ultra‑metal‑rich objects while e…
A Disappearing Act: Constraints From "Missing" Flares of Repeating Partial TDE Candidates
Jason T. Hinkle, Chang Liu, Adam A. Miller +6
Recurrent tidal disruption events (rTDEs) are sources that exhibit multiple TDE-like flares; many are likely powered by the recurring partial disruption of a bound star, in a repea…
ASAS-SN Rates IV: Constraints on the Kilonova Rate
Dhvanil D. Desai, Benjamin J. Shappee, Christopher S. Kochanek +10
Kilonovae (KNe) are the electromagnetic signatures of neutron star mergers and are likely the dominant site of cosmic -process nucleosynthesis. However, their intrinsic rate rem…
Supernova Rates and Luminosity Functions from ASAS-SN III: Over a Decade of Type Ia SNe and Their Subtypes
Dhvanil D. Desai, Benjamin J. Shappee, Christopher S. Kochanek +11
We present volumetric rates and luminosity functions (LFs) of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN), covering the 11-year period fr…
On the Double: Two Luminous Flares from the Nearby Tidal Disruption Event ASASSN-22ci (AT2022dbl) and Connections to Repeating TDE Candidates
Jason T. Hinkle, Katie Auchettl, Willem B. Hoogendam +16
We present observations of ASASSN-22ci (AT2022dbl), a nearby tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) at a distance of d$_L…
Comparing Optical Variability of Type 1 and Type 2 AGN from the BAT 9-Month Sample using ASAS-SN and TESS Surveys
Natalie Kovacevic, Xinyu Dai, Heechan Yuk +6
We present an optical variability analysis and comparison of the samples of Seyfert 1 and 2 galaxies, selected from the \textit{Swift} 9-month BAT catalog, using the light curves f…
