The early detection and follow-up of the highly obscured Type II supernova 2016ija/DLT16am

L. Tartaglia, D. J. Sand, S. Valenti +45

We present our analysis of the Type II supernova DLT16am (SN~2016ija). The object was discovered during the ongoing (DLT40) one day cadence supernova search a…

A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source

S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118

Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…

A hybrid type Ia supernova with an early flash triggered by helium-shell detonation

Ji-an Jiang, Mamoru Doi, Keiichi Maeda +22

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) arise from the thermonuclear explosion of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs. Though the uniformity of their light curves makes them powerful cosmological dista…

GRB 161219B-SN 2016jca: a powerful stellar collapse

C. Ashall, P. A. Mazzali, E. Pian +26

We report observations and analysis of the nearby gamma-ray burst GRB\,161219B (redshift ) and the associated Type Ic supernova (SN) 2016jca. GRB\,161219B had an isotropi…
