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 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…

Stochastic modeling of multiwavelength variability of the classical BL Lac object OJ 287 on timescales ranging from decades to hours

A. Goyal, L. Stawarz, S. Zola +109

We present the results of our power spectral density analysis for the BL Lac object OJ\,287, utilizing the {\it Fermi}-LAT survey at high-energy -rays, {\it Swift}-XRT in X-rays…

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…
