SNhunt151: an explosive event inside a dense cocoon
N. Elias-Rosa, S. Benetti, E. Cappellaro +20
SNhunt151 was initially classified as a supernova (SN) impostor (nonterminal outburst of a massive star). It exhibited a slow increase in luminosity, lasting about 450 d, followed…
A population of highly energetic transient events in the centres of active galaxies
E. Kankare, R. Kotak, S. Mattila +25
Recent all-sky surveys have led to the discovery of new types of transients. These include stars disrupted by the central supermassive black hole, and supernovae that are 10-100 ti…
The Emergence of a Lanthanide-Rich Kilonova Following the Merger of Two Neutron Stars
N. R. Tanvir, A. J. Levan, C. Gonzalez-Fernandez +51
We report the discovery and monitoring of the near-infrared counterpart (AT2017gfo) of a binary neutron-star merger event detected as a gravitational wave source by Advanced LIGO/V…
The environment of the binary neutron star merger GW170817
A. J. Levan, J. D. Lyman, N. R. Tanvir +37
We present Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra imaging, combined with Very Large Telescope MUSE integral field spectroscopy of the counterpart and host galaxy of the first binary ne…
Supernovae 2016bdu and 2005gl, and their link with SN 2009ip-like transients: another piece of the puzzle
A. Pastorello, C. S. Kochanek, M. Fraser +52
Supernova (SN) 2016bdu is an unusual transient resembling SN 2009ip. SN 2009ip-like events are characterized by a long-lasting phase of erratic variability which ends with two lumi…
Interacting supernovae and supernova impostors. LSQ13zm: an outburst heralds the death of a massive star
L. Tartaglia, A. Pastorello, M. Sullivan +37
We report photometric and spectroscopic observations of the optical transient LSQ13zm. Historical data reveal the presence of an eruptive episode (that we label as `2013a') followe…
