The SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts II: New FRB discoveries and their follow-up
S. Bhandari, E. F. Keane, E. D. Barr +47
We report the discovery of four Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) in the ongoing SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts (SUPERB) at the Parkes Radio Telescope: FRBs 150610, 15120…
An elevation of 0.1 light-seconds for the optical jet base in an accreting Galactic black hole system
Poshak Gandhi, Matteo Bachetti, Vik S. Dhillon +25
Relativistic plasma jets are observed in many accreting black holes. According to theory, coiled magnetic fields close to the black hole accelerate and collimate the plasma, leadin…
A polarized fast radio burst at low Galactic latitude
E. Petroff, S. Burke-Spolaor, E. F. Keane +35
We report on the discovery of a new fast radio burst, FRB 150215, with the Parkes radio telescope on 2015 February 15. The burst was detected in real time with a dispersion measure…
Gaia16apd -- a link between fast-and slowly-declining type I superluminous supernovae
T. Kangas, N. Blagorodnova, S. Mattila +18
We present ultraviolet, optical and infrared photometry and optical spectroscopy of the type Ic superluminous supernova (SLSN) Gaia16apd (= SN 2016eay), covering its evolution from…
Flares, wind and nebulae: the 2015 December mini-outburst of V404 Cygni
T. Muñoz-Darias, J. Casares, D. Mata Sánchez +22
After more than 26 years in quiescence, the black hole transient V404 Cyg went into a luminous outburst in June 2015, and additional activity was detected in late December of the s…
Furiously Fast and Red: Sub-second Optical Flaring in V404 Cyg during the 2015 Outburst Peak
P. Gandhi, S. P. Littlefair, L. K. Hardy +25
We present observations of rapid (sub-second) optical flux variability in V404 Cyg during its 2015 June outburst. Simultaneous three-band observations with the ULTRACAM fast imager…
