Extreme variability in an active galactic nucleus: Gaia16aax

G. Cannizzaro, M. Fraser, P. G. Jonker +12

We present the results of a multi-wavelength follow up campaign for the luminous nuclear transient Gaia16aax, which was first identified in January 2016. The transient is spatially…

SN 2016gsd: An unusually luminous and linear type II supernova with high velocities

T. M. Reynolds, M. Fraser, S. Mattila +27

We present observations of the unusually luminous Type II supernova (SN) 2016gsd. With a peak absolute magnitude of V = 19.95 0.08, this object is one of the brightest Typ…

Optical follow-up of the tidal disruption event iPTF16fnl: new insights from X-shooter observations

F. Onori, G. Cannizzaro, P. G. Jonker +11

We present the results from Nordic Optical Telescope and X-shooter follow-up campaigns of the tidal disruption event (TDE) iPTF16fnl, covering the first 100 days after the tr…

The long-lived Type IIn SN 2015da: Infrared echoes and strong interaction within an extended massive shell

L. Tartaglia, A. Pastorello, J. Sollerman +41

In this paper we report the results of the first four years of spectroscopic and photometric monitoring of the Type IIn supernova SN 2015da (also known as PSN J13522411+39412…

SN 2016coi (ASASSN-16fp): an energetic H-stripped core-collapse supernova from a massive stellar progenitor with large mass loss

G. Terreran, R. Margutti, D. Bersier +25

We present comprehensive observations and analysis of the energetic H-stripped SN 2016coi (a.k.a. ASASSN-16fp), spanning the -ray through optical and radio wavelengths, acquired…

On the Ca-strong 1991bg-like type Ia supernova 2016hnk: evidence for a Chandrasekhar-mass explosion

Lluís Galbany, Chris Ashall, Peter Hoeflich +46

We present a comprehensive dataset of optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of type~Ia supernova (SN) 2016hnk, combined with integral field spectroscopy (IFS) of it…
