Spectropolarimetric Evolution Reveals Dual-Axis Ejecta in the Atypical Magnetar-Powered SN 2012au

Sabrina DeSoto, JenniferL. Hoffman, G. Grant Williams +7

We present six epochs of optical spectropolarimetric observations of the unique and slow-evolving Type Ib supernova (SN) 2012au, between 0 and 295 days post R-band maximum. The pol…

SN 2018is: a low-luminosity Type IIP supernova with narrow hydrogen emission lines at early phases

R. Dastidar, K. Misra, S. Valenti +31

We present a comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic study of the Type IIP SN 2018is. The -band luminosity and the expansion velocity at 50 days post-explosion are 15.1$\…

Spectropolarimetry of SN 2023ixf reveals both circumstellar material and helium core to be aspherical

Manisha Shrestha, Sabrina DeSoto, David J. Sand +33

We present multi-epoch optical spectropolarimetric and imaging polarimetric observations of the nearby Type II supernova (SN) 2023ixf discovered in M101 at a distance of 6.85 Mpc.…

Multi-Epoch Spectropolarimetry for a Sample of Type IIn Supernovae: Persistent Asymmetry in Dusty Circumstellar Material

Christopher Bilinski, Nathan Smith, G. Grant Williams +5

We present multi-epoch spectropolarimetry and spectra for a sample of 14 Type IIn supernovae (SNe IIn). We find that after correcting for likely interstellar polarization, SNe IIn…

Record-breaking polarization from the interacting superluminous supernova 2017hcc

Jon C. Mauerhan, Nathan Smith, G. Grant Williams +12

We present multiepoch spectropolarimetry of the superluminous interacting Type IIn supernova SN2017hcc, covering 16 to 391 days after explosion. In our first epoch we measure conti…

Searches after Gravitational Waves Using ARizona Observatories (SAGUARO): Observations and Analysis from Advanced LIGO/Virgo's Third Observing Run

K. Paterson, M. J. Lundquist, J. C. Rastinejad +34

With the conclusion of the third observing run for Advanced LIGO/Virgo (O3), we present a detailed analysis of both triggered and serendipitous observations of 17 gravitational wav…
