Luminous Red Novae: Stellar Mergers or Giant Eruptions?
A. Pastorello, E. Mason, S. Taubenberger +36
We present extensive datasets for a class of intermediate-luminosity optical transients known as "luminous red novae" (LRNe). They show double-peaked light curves, with an initial…
Search for transient optical counterparts to high-energy IceCube neutrinos with Pan-STARRS1
E. Kankare, M. Huber, S. J. Smartt +345
In order to identify the sources of the observed diffuse high-energy neutrino flux, it is crucial to discover their electromagnetic counterparts. IceCube began releasing alerts for…
Observations of the GRB afterglow ATLAS17aeu and its possible association with GW170104
B. Stalder, J. Tonry, S. J. Smartt +26
We report the discovery and multi-wavelength data analysis of the peculiar optical transient, ATLAS17aeu. This transient was identified in the skymap of the LIGO gravitational wave…
Growing evidence that SNe Iax are not a one-parameter family: the case of PS1-12bwh
M. R. Magee, R. Kotak, S. A. Sim +10
In this study, we present observations of a type Iax supernova, PS1-12bwh, discovered during the Pan-STARRS1 3-survey. Our analysis was driven by previously unseen pre-maximum,…
Massive stars exploding in a He-rich circumstellar medium. IV. Transitional Type Ibn Supernovae
A. Pastorello, S. Benetti, P. J. Brown +30
We present ultraviolet, optical and near-infrared data of the Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) 2010al and 2011hw. SN 2010al reaches an absolute magnitude at peak of M(R) = -18.86 +- 0.21.…
The host galaxy and late-time evolution of the Super-Luminous Supernova PTF12dam
T. -W. Chen, S. J. Smartt, A. Jerkstrand +14
Super-luminous supernovae of type Ic have a tendency to occur in faint host galaxies which are likely to have low mass and low metallicity. PTF12dam is one of the closest and best…
