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…
Evidence for Extended Hydrogen-Poor CSM in the Three-Peaked Light Curve of Stripped Envelope Ib Supernova
Yossef Zenati, Qinan Wang, Alexey Bobrick +40
We present multi-band ATLAS photometry for SN 2019tsf, a stripped-envelope Type Ib supernova (SESN). The SN shows a triple-peaked light curve and a late (re-)brightening, making it…
A Comprehensive Investigation of Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows Detected by TESS
Hugh Roxburgh, Ryan Ridden-Harper, Zachary G. Lane +9
Gamma-ray bursts produce afterglows that can be observed across the electromagnetic spectrum and can provide insight into the nature of their progenitors. While most telescopes tha…
Precursor Activity Preceding Interacting Supernovae I: Bridging the Gap with SN 2022mop
S. J. Brennan, S. Barmentloo, S. Schulze +41
Over the past two decades, an increasing number of transients have shown luminous activity at their explosion sites weeks to years before an interacting supernova (SN) is observed.…
Early Light Curve Excess in Type IIb Supernovae Observed by the ATLAS Survey: Qualitative Constraints on Progenitor Systems
Bastian Ayala, Joseph P. Anderson, G. Pignata +8
Type IIb supernovae (SNe IIb) often exhibit an early light curve excess (EE) preceding the main peak powered by radioactive nickel decay. The physical origin of this early emission…
Double "acct": a distinct double-peaked supernova matching pulsational pair-instability models
C. R. Angus, S. E. Woosley, R. J. Foley +35
We present multi-wavelength data of SN2020acct, a double-peaked stripped-envelope supernova (SN) in NGC2981 at ~150 Mpc. The two peaks are temporally distinct, with maxima separate…
