Detection of disk-jet co-precession in a tidal disruption event

Yanan Wang, Zikun Lin, Linhui Wu +46

Theories and simulations predict that intense spacetime curvature near black holes bends the trajectories of light and matter, driving disk and jet precession under relativistic to…

Discovery of young, oxygen-rich supernova remnants in PHANGS-MUSE galaxies

Timo Kravtsov, Joseph P. Anderson, Hanindyo Kuncarayakti +2

Context. Supernova remnants (SNRs) are the late stages of supernovae before their merging into the surrounding medium. Oxygen-rich supernova remnants represent a rare subtype with…

The optimisation of short-term scheduling of science observations at Paranal observatory (VLT and ELT)

Joseph P. Anderson, Elyar Sedaghati, Aleksandar Cikota +4

The efficiency of science observation Short-Term Scheduling (STS) can be defined as being a function of how many highly ranked observations are completed per unit time. Current STS…

An outflow powers the optical rise of the nearby, fast-evolving tidal disruption event AT2019qiz

M. Nicholl, T. Wevers, S. R. Oates +42

At 66 Mpc, AT2019qiz is the closest optical tidal disruption event (TDE) to date, with a luminosity intermediate between the bulk of the population and iPTF16fnl. Its proximity all…

A Blast from the Pasture: Studying the environment of AT 2018cow with MUSE

J. D. Lyman, L. Galbany, S. F. Sanchez +2

AT 2018cow was the nearest and best studied example of a new breed of extra-galactic, luminous and rapidly-evolving transient. Both the progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms…

The Tidal Disruption Event AT 2018hyz I: Double-peaked emission lines and a flat Balmer decrement

P. Short, M. Nicholl, A. Lawrence +28

We present results from spectroscopic observations of AT 2018hyz, a transient discovered by the ASAS-SN survey at an absolute magnitude of mag, in the nucleus of a…

GRB171010A / SN2017htp: a GRB-SN at z=0.33

A. Melandri, D. B. Malesani, L. Izzo +41

The number of supernovae known to be connected with long-duration gamma-ray bursts is increasing and the link between these events is no longer exclusively found at low redshift ($…

The 50-100pc scale parent stellar populations of type II supernovae and limitations of single star evolution models

P. Schady, J. J. Eldridge, J. Anderson +4

There is observational evidence of a dearth in core-collapse supernova (ccSN) explosions from stars with zero age main sequence (ZAMS) mass M_0~17-30 Msol, referred to as the 'red…

A meta analysis of core-collapse supernova Ni masses

J. P. Anderson

A fundamental property determining the transient behaviour of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) is the amount of radioactive Ni synthesised in the explosion. Using establishe…

Nebular Spectra of 111 Type Ia Supernovae Disfavor Single Degenerate Progenitors

M. A. Tucker, B. J. Shappee, P. J. Vallely +15

We place statistical constraints on Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitors using 227 nebular phase spectra of 111 SNe Ia. We find no evidence of stripped companion emission in any o…

Observed Type II supernova colours from the Carnegie Supernova Project-I

T. de Jaeger, J. P. Anderson, L. Galbany +12

We present a study of observed Type II supernova (SN~II) colours using optical/near-infrared photometric data from the \textit{Carnegie Supernovae Project-I}. We analyse four colou…

The MUSE view of the host galaxy of GRB 100316D

L. Izzo, C. C. Thöne, S. Schulze +23

The low distance, , of GRB 100316D and its association with SN 2010bh represent two important motivations for studying this host galaxy and the GRB's immediate environmen…

Type II supernovae as probes of environment metallicity: observations of host HII regions

J. P. Anderson, C. P. Gutierrez, L. Dessart +10

Spectral modelling of SNII atmospheres indicates a clear dependence of metal line strengths on progenitor metallicity. This motivates further work to evaluate the accuracy with whi…

Characterising the environments of supernovae with MUSE

L. Galbany, J. P. Anderson, F. F Rosales-Ortega +10

We present a statistical analysis of the environments of 11 supernovae (SNe) which occurred in 6 nearby galaxies (z 0.016). All galaxies were observed with MUSE, the hig…

Nebular phase observations of the type-Ib supernova iPTF13bvn favour a binary progenitor

H. Kuncarayakti, K. Maeda, M. C. Bersten +9

Aims. We present and analyse late-time observations of the type-Ib supernova with possible pre-supernova progenitor detection, iPTF13bvn, taken at 300 days after the explosio…
