An Exceptional Dimming Event for a Massive, Cool Supergiant in M51
Jacob E. Jencson, David J. Sand, Jennifer E. Andrews +6
We present the discovery of an exceptional dimming event in a cool supergiant star in the Local Volume spiral M51. The star, dubbed M51-DS1, was found as part of a Hubble Space Tel…
PGIR 20eid (SN2020qmp): A Type IIP Supernova at 15.6 Mpc discovered by the Palomar Gattini-IR survey
G. P. Srinivasaragavan, I. Sfaradi, J. Jencson +19
We present a detailed analysis of SN 2020qmp, a nearby type IIP core-collapse supernova (CCSN), discovered by the Palomar Gattini-IR (PGIR) survey in the galaxy UGC07125. We illust…
Circumstellar Medium Constraints on the Environment of Two Nearby Type Ia Supernovae: SN 2017cbv and SN 2020nlb
D. J. Sand, S. K. Sarbadhicary, C. Pellegrino +23
We present deep Chandra X-ray observations of two nearby Type Ia supernovae, SN 2017cbv and SN 2020nlb, which reveal no X-ray emission down to a luminosity 5.3$\time…
Enormous explosion energy of Type IIP SN 2017gmr with bipolar Ni-56 ejecta
V. P. Utrobin, N. N. Chugai, J. E. Andrews +7
The unusual Type IIP SN 2017gmr is revisited in order to pinpoint the origin of its anomalous features, including the peculiar light curve after about 100 days. The hydrodynamic mo…
AT 2019qyl in NGC 300: Internal Collisions in the Early Outflow from a Very Fast Nova in a Symbiotic Binary
Jacob E. Jencson, Jennifer E. Andrews, Howard E. Bond +39
Nova eruptions, thermonuclear explosions on the surfaces of white dwarfs (WDs), are now recognized to be among the most common shock-powered astrophysical transients. We present th…
The luminous red nova AT 2018bwo in NGC 45 and its binary yellow supergiant progenitor
Nadejda Blagorodnova, Jakub Klencki, Ondrej Pejcha +12
Luminous Red Novae (LRNe) are astrophysical transients associated with the partial ejection of a binary system's common envelope (CE) shortly before its merger. Here we present the…
A population of heavily reddened, optically missed novae from Palomar Gattini-IR: Constraints on the Galactic nova rate
Kishalay De, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Matthew J. Hankins +25
The nova rate in the Milky Way remains largely uncertain, despite its vital importance in constraining models of Galactic chemical evolution as well as understanding progenitor cha…
