Investigating the properties of stripped-envelope supernovae, what are the implications for their progenitors?
S. J. Prentice, C. Ashall, P. A. James +41
We present observations and analysis of 18 stripped-envelope supernovae observed during 2013 -- 2018. This sample consists of 5 H/He-rich SNe, 6 H-poor/He-rich SNe, 3 narrow lined…
Unravelling the infrared transient VVV-WIT-06: the case for an origin in a classical nova
Dipankar P. K. Banerjee, Eric Y. Hsiao, Tiara Diamond +6
The enigmatic near-infrared transient VVV-WIT-06 underwent a large amplitude eruption of unclear origin in July 2013. Based on its lightcurve properties and late-time post-outburst…
Authenticating the Presence of a Relativistic Massive Black Hole Binary in OJ 287 Using its General Relativity Centenary Flare: Improved Orbital Parameters
Lankeswar Dey, M. J. Valtonen, A. Gopakumar +5
Results from regular monitoring of relativistic compact binaries like PSR 1913+16 are consistent with the dominant (quadrupole) order emission of gravitational waves (GWs). We show…
AT 2017be - a new member of the class of Intermediate-Luminosity Red Transients
Y-Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, M. Fraser +20
We report the results of our spectrophotometric monitoring campaign for AT~2017be in NGC~2537. Its lightcurve reveals a fast rise to an optical maximum, followed by a plateau lasti…
A dust-enshrouded tidal disruption event with a resolved radio jet in a galaxy merger
S. Mattila, M. Pérez-Torres, A. Efstathiou +33
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are transient flares produced when a star is ripped apart by the gravitational field of a supermassive black hole (SMBH). We have observed a transien…
