SOAR/Goodman Spectroscopic Assessment of Candidate Counterparts of the LIGO-Virgo Event GW190814
Douglas Tucker, Matthew Wiesner, Sahar Allam +140
On 2019 August 14 at 21:10:39 UTC, the LIGO/Virgo Collaboration (LVC) detected a possible neutron star-black hole merger (NSBH), the first ever identified. An extensive search for…
Spectrophotometric templates for core collapse supernovae and their application in simulations of time-domain surveys
M. Vincenzi, M. Sullivan, R. E. Firth +5
The design and analysis of time-domain sky surveys requires the ability to simulate accurately realistic populations of core collapse supernova (SN) events. We present a set of spe…
Studying the Ultraviolet Spectrum of the First Spectroscopically Confirmed Supernova at redshift two
M. Smith, M. Sullivan, R. C. Nichol +87
We present observations of DES16C2nm, the first spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-free superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at redshift z~2. DES16C2nm was discovered by the Dark Ene…
The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/VIRGO GW170817. II. UV, Optical, and Near-IR Light Curves and Comparison to Kilonova Models
P. S. Cowperthwaite, E. Berger, V. A. Villar +141
We present UV, optical, and NIR photometry of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave source from Advanced LIGO/Virgo, the binary neutron star merger GW170817…
The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/Virgo GW170817. I. Dark Energy Camera Discovery of the Optical Counterpart
M. Soares-Santos, D. E. Holz, J. Annis +142
We present the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) discovery of the optical counterpart of the first binary neutron star merger detected through gravitational wave emission, GW170817. Our o…
A Search for Kilonovae in the Dark Energy Survey
Z. Doctor, R. Kessler, H. Y. Chen +68
The coalescence of a binary neutron star (BNS) pair is expected to produce gravitational waves (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation, both of which may be detectable with current…
