Neutron Star Mergers Are the Dominant Source of the r-process in the Early Evolution of Dwarf Galaxies
Gina E. Duggan, Evan N. Kirby, Serge M. Andrievsky +1
There are many candidate sites of the r-process: core-collapse supernovae (including rare magnetorotational core-collapse supernovae), neutron star mergers, and neutron star/black…
A hot and fast ultra-stripped supernova that likely formed a compact neutron star binary
K. De, M. M. Kasliwal, E. O. Ofek +24
Compact neutron star binary systems are produced from binary massive stars through stellar evolution involving up to two supernova explosions. The final stages in the formation of…
The Broad Absorption Line Tidal Disruption Event iPTF15af: Optical and Ultraviolet Evolution
N. Blagorodnova, S. B. Cenko, S. R. Kulkarni +16
We present multi-wavelength observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) iPTF15af, discovered by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) survey at redshift $z=0.07897…
Oxygen and helium in stripped-envelope supernovae
C. Fremling, J. Sollerman, M. M. Kasliwal +23
We present an analysis of 507 spectra of 173 stripped-envelope (SE) supernovae (SNe) discovered by the untargeted Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and intermediate PTF (iPTF) survey…
