Multiwavelength observations of the extraordinary accretion event AT2021lwx

P. Wiseman, Y. Wang, S. Hönig +43

We present observations from X-ray to mid-infrared wavelengths of the most energetic non-quasar transient ever observed, AT2021lwx. Our data show a single optical brightening by a…

X-ray Observations of Luminous Dusty Quasars at z > 2

G. B. Lansbury, M. Banerji, A. C. Fabian +1

We present new X-ray observations of luminous heavily dust-reddened quasars (HRQs) selected from infrared sky surveys. HRQs appear to be a dominant population at high redshifts and…

High redshift extremely red quasars in X-rays

Andy D. Goulding, Nadia L. Zakamska, Rachael M. Alexandroff +11

Quasars may have played a key role in limiting the stellar mass of massive galaxies. Identifying those quasars in the process of removing star formation fuel from their hosts is an…

Evidence for Dynamically Driven Formation of the GW170817 Neutron Star Binary in NGC 4993

A. Palmese, W. Hartley, F. Tarsitano +89

We present a study of NGC 4993, the host galaxy of the GW170817 gravitational wave event, the GRB170817A short gamma-ray burst (sGRB) and the AT2017gfo kilonova. We use Dark Energy…

The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/VIRGO GW170817. II. UV, Optical, and Near-IR Light Curves and Comparison to Kilonova Models

P. S. Cowperthwaite, E. Berger, V. A. Villar +141

We present UV, optical, and NIR photometry of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave source from Advanced LIGO/Virgo, the binary neutron star merger GW170817…

The Evolution of Active Galactic Nuclei in Clusters of Galaxies from the Dark Energy Survey

E. Bufanda, D. Hollowood, T. E. Jeltema +53

The correlation between active galactic nuclei (AGN) and environment provides important clues to AGN fueling and the relationship of black hole growth to galaxy evolution. In this…

DES13S2cmm: The First Superluminous Supernova from the Dark Energy Survey

A. Papadopoulos, C. B. D'Andrea, M. Sullivan +66

We present DES13S2cmm, the first spectroscopically-confirmed superluminous supernova (SLSN) from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We briefly discuss the data and search algorithm used…
