GW170817: implications for the local kilonova rate and for surveys from ground-based facilities
M. Della Valle, D. Guetta, E. Cappellaro +7
We compute the local rate of events similar to GRB 170817A, which has been recently found to be associated with a kilonova (KN) outburst. Our analysis finds an observed rate of suc…
The mechanical design of SOXS for the NTT
M Aliverti, O Hershko, O Diner +45
SOXS (Son of X-shooter) is a wide band, medium resolution spectrograph for the ESO NTT with a first light expected in 2021. The instrument will be composed by five semi-independent…
Hydrogen-rich supernovae beyond the neutrino-driven core-collapse paradigm
G. Terreran, M. L. Pumo, T. -W. Chen +41
We present our study of OGLE-2014-SN-073, one of the brightest Type II SN ever discovered, with an unusually broad lightcurve combined with high ejecta velocities. From our hydrody…
Optical and near infrared observations of SN 2014ck: an outlier among the Type Iax supernovae
L. Tomasella, E. Cappellaro, S. Benetti +18
We present a comprehensive set of optical and near-infrared photometric and spectroscopic observations for SN 2014ck, extending from pre-maximum to six months later. These data ind…
