The Large Magellanic Cloud stellar content with SMASH: I. Assessing the stability of the Magellanic spiral arms
T. Ruiz-Lara, C. Gallart, M. Monelli +23
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the closest and most studied example of an irregular galaxy. Among its principal defining morphological features, its off-centred bar and single…
The Host Galaxies of Rapidly Evolving Transients in the Dark Energy Survey
P. Wiseman, M. Pursiainen, M. Childress +72
Rapidly evolving transients (RETs), also termed fast blue optical transients (FBOTs), are a distinct class of astrophysical event. They are characterised by lightcurves that declin…
Supernova Siblings: Assessing the Consistency of Properties of Type Ia Supernovae that Share the Same Parent Galaxies
D. Scolnic, M. Smith, A. Massiah +82
While many studies have shown a correlation between properties of the light curves of Type Ia SN (SNe Ia) and properties of their host galaxies, it remains unclear what is driving…
Exploring the Very Extended Low Surface Brightness Stellar Populations of the Large Magellanic Cloud with SMASH
David L. Nidever, Knut Olsen, Yumi Choi +23
We present the detection of very extended stellar populations around the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) out to R~21 degrees, or ~18.5 kpc at the LMC distance of 50 kpc, as detected i…
DES15E2mlf: A Spectroscopically Confirmed Superluminous Supernova that Exploded 3.5 Gyr After the Big Bang
Y. -C. Pan, R. J. Foley, M. Smith +63
We present the Dark Energy Survey (DES) discovery of DES15E2mlf, the most distant superluminous supernova (SLSN) spectroscopically confirmed to date. The light curves and Gemini sp…
The LMC geometry and outer stellar populations from early DES data
Eduardo Balbinot, B. X. Santiago, L. Girardi +50
The Dark Energy Camera has captured a large set of images as part of Science Verification (SV) for the Dark Energy Survey. The SV footprint covers a lar ge portion of the outer Lar…
