A Swift Fix for Nuclear Outbursts
Jason T. Hinkle, Thomas W. -S. Holoien, Benjamin. J. Shappee +1
In November 2020, the Swift team announced an update to the UltraViolet and Optical Telescope calibration to correct for the loss of sensitivity over time. This correction affects…
An Amusing Look at the Host of the Periodic Nuclear Transient ASASSN-14ko Reveals a Second AGN
M. A. Tucker, B. J. Shappee, J. T. Hinkle +10
We present Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) integral-field spectroscopy of ESO 253G003, which hosts a known Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) and the periodic nuclear transi…
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…
The Landscape of Galaxies Harboring Changing-Look Active Galactic Nuclei in the Local Universe
Sierra A. Dodd, Jamie A. P. Law-Smith, Katie Auchettl +2
We study the properties of the host galaxies of Changing-Look Active Galactic Nuclei (CL AGNs) with the aim of understanding the conditions responsible for triggering CL activity.…
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…
ASASSN-14ko is a Periodic Nuclear Transient in ESO 253-G003
Anna V. Payne, Benjamin J. Shappee, Jason T. Hinkle +24
We present the discovery that ASASSN-14ko is a periodically flaring AGN at the center of the galaxy ESO 253-G003. At the time of its discovery by the All-Sky Automated Survey for S…
