A Multiwavelength Study of the Massive Colliding Wind Binary WR 20a: A Possible Progenitor for Fast-Spinning LIGO Binary Black Hole Mergers
Grace M. Olivier, Laura A. Lopez, Katie Auchettl +7
WR 20a is the most massive close-in binary known in our Galaxy. It is composed of two 80 M Wolf-Rayet stars with a short period of 3.7 days in the open cl…
A very luminous jet from the disruption of a star by a massive black hole
Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Daniel A. Perley +78
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are bursts of electromagnetic energy released when supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies violently disrupt a star that passes t…
The Spectroscopic Classification of Astronomical Transients (SCAT) Survey: Overview, Pipeline Description, Initial Results, and Future Plans
M. A. Tucker, B. J. Shappee, M. E. Huber +19
We present the Spectroscopic Classification of Astronomical Transients (SCAT) survey, which is dedicated to spectrophotometric observations of transient objects such as supernovae…
SN 2022ann: A type Icn supernova from a dwarf galaxy that reveals helium in its circumstellar environment
K. W. Davis, K. Taggart, S. Tinyanont +64
We present optical and near-infrared (NIR) observations of the Type Icn supernova (SN Icn) 2022ann, the fifth member of its newly identified class of SNe. Its early optical spectra…
The Young Supernova Experiment Data Release 1 (YSE DR1): Light Curves and Photometric Classification of 1975 Supernovae
P. D. Aleo, K. Malanchev, S. Sharief +80
We present the Young Supernova Experiment Data Release 1 (YSE DR1), comprised of processed multi-color Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) griz and Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) gr photometry of 1…
Multiple Flares in the Changing-Look AGN NGC 5273
J. M. M. Neustadt, J. T. Hinkle, C. S. Kochanek +15
NGC 5273 is a known optical and X-ray variable AGN. We analyze new and archival IR, optical, UV, and X-ray data in order to characterize its long-term variability from 2000 to 2022…
