Sifting for Sapphires: Systematic Selection of Tidal Disruption Events in iPTF
T. Hung, S. Gezari, S. B. Cenko +15
We present results from a systematic selection of tidal disruption events (TDEs) in a wide-area (4800~deg), band, Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) experiment…
iPTF Survey for Cool Transients
S. M. Adams, N. Blagorodnova, M. M. Kasliwal +25
We performed a wide-area (2000 deg) g and I band experiment as part of a two month extension to the Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory. We discovered 36 extragalactic tra…
Illuminating Gravitational Waves: A Concordant Picture of Photons from a Neutron Star Merger
M. M. Kasliwal, E. Nakar, L. P. Singer +78
Merging neutron stars offer an exquisite laboratory for simultaneously studying strong-field gravity and matter in extreme environments. We establish the physical association of an…
Census of the Local Universe (CLU) Narrow-Band Survey I: Galaxy Catalogs from Preliminary Fields
David O. Cook, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Angela Van Sistine +13
We present the Census of the Local Universe (CLU) narrow-band survey to search for emission-line (\ha) galaxies. CLU-\ha~has imaged 3 of the sky (26,470~deg) with 4…
HD 49798: Its History of Binary Interaction and Future Evolution
Jared Brooks, Thomas Kupfer, Lars Bildsten
The bright subdwarf-O star (sdO), HD 49798, is in a 1.55 day orbit with a compact companion that is spinning at 13.2 seconds. Using the measurements of the effective temperature ($…
Processing Images from the Zwicky Transient Facility
Russ R. Laher, Frank J. Masci, Steve Groom +25
The Zwicky Transient Facility is a new robotic-observing program, in which a newly engineered 600-MP digital camera with a pioneeringly large field of view, 47~square degrees, will…
A tale of two transients: GW170104 and GRB170105A
V. Bhalerao, M. M. Kasliwal, D. Bhattacharya +30
We present multi-wavelength follow-up campaigns by the AstroSat-CZTI and GROWTH collaborations to search for an electromagnetic counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW170104…
iPTF17cw: An engine-driven supernova candidate discovered independent of a gamma-ray trigger
A. Corsi, S. B. Cenko, M. M. Kasliwal +21
We present the discovery, classification, and radio-to-X-ray follow-up observations of iPTF17cw, a broad-lined (BL) type Ic supernova (SN) discovered by the intermediate Palomar Tr…
Confirmation of Large Super-Fast Rotator (144977) 2005 EC127
Chan-Kao Chang, Hsing-Wen Lin, Wing-Huen Ip +7
(144977) 2005 EC127 is an V-/A-type inner-main-belt asteroid with a diameter of 0.6 +- 0.1 km. Asteroids of this size are believed to have rubble-pile structure, and, therefore, ca…
