The Birth of a Relativistic Jet Following the Disruption of a Star by a Cosmological Black Hole
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Matteo Lucchini, Tanmoy Laskar +63
A black hole can launch a powerful relativistic jet after it tidally disrupts a star. If this jet fortuitously aligns with our line of sight, the overall brightness is Doppler boos…
Revealing the progenitor of SN 2021zby through analysis of the shock-cooling light curve
Qinan Wang, Patrick Armstrong, Yossef Zenati +34
We present early observations and analysis of the double-peaked Type IIb supernova (SN IIb) 2021zby. captured the prominent early shock cooling peak of SN 2021zby within the…
The luminous type Ia supernova 2022ilv and its early excess emission
Shubham Srivastav, S. J. Smartt, M. E. Huber +16
We present observations and analysis of the host-less and luminous type Ia supernova 2022ilv, illustrating it is part of the 2003fg-like family, often referred to as super-Chandras…
The First Two Years of FLEET: an Active Search for Superluminous Supernovae
Sebastian Gomez, Edo Berger, Peter K. Blanchard +5
In November 2019 we began operating FLEET (Finding Luminous and Exotic Extragalactic Transients), a machine learning algorithm designed to photometrically identify Type I superlumi…
Identifying Tidal Disruption Events with an Expansion of the FLEET Machine Learning Algorithm
Sebastian Gomez, V. Ashley Villar, Edo Berger +5
We present an expansion of FLEET, a machine learning algorithm optimized to select transients that are most likely to be tidal disruption events (TDEs). FLEET is based on a random…
AT 2020wey and the class of faint and fast Tidal Disruption Events
Panos Charalampopoulos, Miika Pursiainen, Giorgos Leloudas +5
We present an analysis of the optical and UV properties of AT 2020wey, a faint and fast tidal disruption event (TDE) at 124.3 Mpc. The light curve of the object peaked at an absolu…
