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…

Multi-wavelength Photometry and Progenitor Analysis of the Nova V906 Car

Jerrick Wee, Nadejda Blagorodnova, Bryan Edward Penprase +12

We present optical and infrared photometry of the classical nova V906 Car, also known as Nova Car 2018 and ASASSN-18fv, discovered by ASASS-SN survey on 16.32 March 2018 UT (MJD 58…

Progenitor, Precursor and Evolution of the Dusty Remnant of the Stellar Merger M31-LRN-2015

Nadejda Blagorodnova, Viraj Karambelkar, Scott M. Adams +12

M31-2015-LRN is a likely stellar merger discovered in the Andromeda Galaxy in 2015. We present new optical to mid-infrared photometry and optical spectroscopy for this event. Archi…

Characterization of the Nucleus, Morphology and Activity of Interstellar Comet 2I/Borisov by Optical and Near-Infrared GROWTH, Apache Point, IRTF, ZTF and Keck Observations

Bryce T. Bolin, Carey M. Lisse, Mansi M. Kasliwal +52

We present visible and near-infrared photometric and spectroscopic observations of interstellar object 2I/Borisov taken from 2019 September 10 to 2019 November 29 using the GROWTH,…

A New Class of Changing-Look LINERs

Sara Frederick, Suvi Gezari, Matthew J. Graham +28

We report the discovery of six active galactic nuclei (AGN) caught "turning on" during the first nine months of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey. The host galaxies were c…

Discovery of an intermediate-luminosity red transient in M51 and its likely dust-obscured, infrared-variable progenitor

Jacob E. Jencson, Scott M. Adams, Howard E. Bond +49

We present the discovery of an optical transient (OT) in Messier 51, designated M51 OT2019-1 (also ZTF19aadyppr, AT 2019abn, ATLAS19bzl), by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). Th…
