An embedded X-ray source shines through the aspherical AT2018cow: revealing the inner workings of the most luminous fast-evolving optical transients

Raffaella Margutti, B. D. Metzger, R. Chornock +41

We present the first extensive radio to gamma-ray observations of a fast-rising blue optical transient (FBOT), AT2018cow, over its first ~100 days. AT2018cow rose over a few days t…

Science with an ngVLA: Accretion and Jets in Local Compact Objects

Deanne L. Coppejans, James C. A. Miller-Jones, Elmar G. Koerding +2

Despite the prevalence of jets in accreting systems and their impact on the surrounding medium, the fundamental physics of how they are launched and collimated is not fully underst…

One thousand days of SN 2015bn: HST imaging shows a light curve flattening consistent with magnetar predictions

Matt Nicholl, Peter K. Blanchard, Edo Berger +9

We present the first observations of a Type I superluminous supernova (SLSN) at days after maximum light. We observed SN 2015bn using the Hubble Space Telescope Adva…

15-GHz radio emission from nearby low-luminosity active galactic nuclei

Payaswini Saikia, Elmar Körding, Deanne L. Coppejans +5

We present a sub-arcsec resolution radio imaging survey of a sample of 76 low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGN) that were previously not detected with the Very Large Array…
