Spectropolarimetry of the Type Ia SN 2019ein rules out significant global asphericity of the ejecta
Kishore C. Patra, Yi Yang, Thomas G. Brink +12
Detailed spectropolarimetric studies may hold the key to probing the explosion mechanisms and the progenitor scenarios of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). We present multi-epoch spectr…
Progenitor and Close-In Circumstellar Medium of Type II Supernova 2020fqv from High-Cadence Photometry and Ultra-Rapid UV Spectroscopy
Samaporn Tinyanont, Ryan Ridden-Harper, Ryan Foley +35
We present observations of SN 2020fqv, a Virgo-cluster Type II core-collapse supernova (CCSN) with a high temporal resolution light curve from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satel…
Distinguishing Tidal Disruption Events from Impostors
Ann Zabludoff, Iair Arcavi, Stephanie La Massa +15
Recent claimed detections of tidal disruption events (TDEs) in multi-wavelength data have opened potential new windows into the evolution and properties of otherwise dormant superm…
Discovery of a Fast Iron Low-ionization Outflow in the Early Evolution of the Nearby Tidal Disruption Event AT2019qiz
Tiara Hung, Ryan J. Foley, S. Veilleux +16
We report the results of ultraviolet (UV) and optical photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2019qiz. Our follow-up observations started 10…
TDE Hosts are Green and Centrally Concentrated: Signatures of a Post-Merger System
Erica Hammerstein, Suvi Gezari, Sjoert van Velzen +17
We study the properties of the galaxies hosting the first 19 tidal disruption events (TDEs) detected with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) within the context of a carefully cons…
A Family Tree of Optical Transients from Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies
Sara Frederick, Suvi Gezari, Matthew J. Graham +17
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) has discovered five new events belonging to an emerging class of AGN undergoing smooth flares with large amplitudes and rapid rise times. This s…
