Constraints on the Progenitor of SN 2016gkg From Its Shock-Cooling Light Curve
Iair Arcavi, Griffin Hosseinzadeh, Peter J. Brown +17
SN 2016gkg is a nearby Type IIb supernova discovered shortly after explosion. Like several other Type IIb events with early-time data, SN 2016gkg displays a double-peaked light cur…
The progenitor and early evolution of the Type IIb SN 2016gkg
L. Tartaglia, M. Fraser, D. J. Sand +24
We report initial observations and analysis on the Type IIb SN~2016gkg in the nearby galaxy NGC~613. SN~2016gkg exhibited a clear double-peaked light curve during its early evoluti…
Optical and Ultraviolet Observations of the Very Young Type IIP SN 2014cx in NGC 337
Fang Huang, Xiaofeng Wang, Luca Zampieri +15
Extensive photometric and spectroscopic observations are presented for SN 2014cx, a type IIP supernova (SN) exploding in the nearby galaxy NGC 337. The observations are performed i…
On the early-time excess emission in hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae
Paul M. Vreeswijk, Giorgos Leloudas, Avishay Gal-Yam +27
We present the light curves of the hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) PTF12dam and iPTF13dcc, discovered by the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory. Both show ex…
The Post-Starburst Evolution of Tidal Disruption Event Host Galaxies
K. Decker French, Iair Arcavi, Ann Zabludoff
We constrain the recent star formation histories of the host galaxies of eight optical/UV-detected tidal disruption events (TDEs). Six hosts had quick starbursts of <200 Myr durati…
M31N 2008-12a - the remarkable recurrent nova in M31: Pan-chromatic observations of the 2015 eruption
M. J. Darnley, M. Henze, M. F. Bode +52
The Andromeda Galaxy recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a had been observed in eruption ten times, including yearly eruptions from 2008-2014. With a measured recurrence period of $P_\mathr…
