Pan-STARRS follow-up of the gravitational-wave event S250818k and the lightcurve of SN 2025ulz
J. H. Gillanders, M. E. Huber, M. Nicholl +30
Kilonovae are the scientifically rich, but observationally elusive, optical transient phenomena associated with compact binary mergers. Only a handful of events have been discovere…
Long-term evolution of the SN 2009ip-like transient SN 2016cvk
K. Matilainen, E. Kankare, S. Mattila +21
The interacting transient SN 2016cvk (ASASSN-16jt) is a member of the peculiar SN 2009ip-like events. We present our follow-up data and aim to draw conclusions about the physical n…
Results from the Pan-STARRS Search for Kilonovae: Contamination by Massive Stellar Outbursts
M. D. Fulton, S. J. Smartt, M. E. Huber +11
We present results from the Pan-STARRS optical search for kilonovae without the aid of gravitational wave and gamma-ray burst triggers. The search was conducted from 26 October 201…
The ATLAS Virtual Research Assistant
H. F. Stevance, K. W. Smith, S. J. Smartt +4
We present the Virtual Research Assistant (VRA) of the ATLAS sky survey which performs preliminary eyeballing on our clean transient data stream. The VRA uses Histogram Based Gradi…
SN 2024abfo: a partially stripped SN II from a yellow supergiant
A. Reguitti, A. Pastorello, S. J. Smartt +35
We present photometric and spectroscopic data of the type IIb supernova (SN) 2024abfo in NGC 1493 (at 11 Mpc). The ATLAS survey discovered the object just a few hours after the exp…
Observational diversity of bright long-lived Type II supernovae
T. Nagao, T. M. Reynolds, H. Kuncarayakti +21
In various types of supernovae (SNe), strong interaction between the SN ejecta and circumstellar material (CSM) has been reported. This raises questions on their progenitors and ma…
