Strongly Bipolar Inner Ejecta of the Normal Type IIP Supernova ASASSN-16at

Subhash Bose, Subo Dong, N. Elias-Rosa +24

We report distinctly double-peakedH-alpha and H-beta emission lines in the late-time, nebular-phase spectra (>~200 d) of the otherwise normal at early phases (<~ 100 d) Type IIP su…

First Resolution of Microlensed Images

Subo Dong, A. Mérand, F. Delplancke-Ströbele +12

We employ VLTI GRAVITY to resolve, for the first time, the two images generated by a gravitational microlens. The measurements of the image separation θ_{-,+}=3.78 +/- 0.05 mas, an…

The ASAS-SN Catalog of Variable Stars II: Uniform Classification of 412,000 Known Variables

T. Jayasinghe, K. Z. Stanek, C. S. Kochanek +12

The variable stars in the VSX catalog are derived from a multitude of inhomogeneous data sources and classification tools. This inhomogeneity complicates our understanding of varia…

The Cow: discovery of a luminous, hot and rapidly evolving transient

S. J. Prentice, K. Maguire, S. J. Smartt +27

We present the ATLAS discovery and initial analysis of the first 18 days of the unusual transient event, ATLAS18qqn/AT2018cow. It is characterized by a high peak luminosity (…

ASASSN-18ey: The Rise of a New Black-Hole X-ray Binary

M. A. Tucker, B. J. Shappee, T. W. -S. Holoien +21

We present the discovery of ASASSN-18ey (MAXI J1820+070), a new black hole low-mass X-ray binary discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN). A week after A…

PS18kh: A New Tidal Disruption Event with a Non-Axisymmetric Accretion Disk

T. W. -S. Holoien, M. E. Huber, B. J. Shappee +38

We present the discovery of PS18kh, a tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered at the center of SDSS J075654.53+341543.6 ( Mpc) by the Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients.…
