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…
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…
The Young Supernova Experiment: Survey Goals, Overview, and Operations
D. O. Jones, R. J. Foley, G. Narayan +68
Time domain science has undergone a revolution over the past decade, with tens of thousands of new supernovae (SNe) discovered each year. However, several observational domains, in…
