Son of X--Shooter: a multi--band instrument for a multi--band universe
R. Claudi, S. Campana, P. Schipani +47
Son Of X-Shooter (SOXS) will be a new instrument designed to be mounted at the Nasmyth--A focus of the ESO 3.5 m New Technology Telescope in La Silla site (Chile). SOXS is composed…
A Smart and Colorful Cadence for the LSST Wide Fast Deep Survey: Maximizing TDE Science
Suvi Gezari, Sjoert van Velzen, Tiara Hung +2
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are rare, 10^(-7)/yr/Mpc^3 (Hung et al. 2018), yet the large survey volume of LSST implies a very large detection rate of 200/yr/(1000 deg^2) (van Ve…
K2 Observations of SN 2018oh Reveal a Two-Component Rising Light Curve for a Type Ia Supernova
G. Dimitriadis, R. J. Foley, A. Rest +145
We present an exquisite, 30-min cadence Kepler (K2) light curve of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2018oh (ASASSN-18bt), starting weeks before explosion, covering the moment of explo…
Photometric and Spectroscopic Properties of Type Ia Supernova 2018oh with Early Excess Emission from the 2 Observations
W. Li, X. Wang, J. Vinkó +160
Supernova (SN) 2018oh (ASASSN-18bt) is the first spectroscopically-confirmed type Ia supernova (SN Ia) observed in the field. The data revealed an excess emission…
Analysis of broad-lined Type Ic supernovae from the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory
F. Taddia, J. Sollerman, C. Fremling +18
We study 34 Type Ic supernovae that have broad spectral features (SNe Ic-BL). We obtained our photometric data with the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and its continuation, the in…
The mechanical design of SOXS for the NTT
M Aliverti, O Hershko, O Diner +45
SOXS (Son of X-shooter) is a wide band, medium resolution spectrograph for the ESO NTT with a first light expected in 2021. The instrument will be composed by five semi-independent…
