SN 2017dio: a type-Ic supernova exploding in a hydrogen-rich circumstellar medium

Hanindyo Kuncarayakti, Keiichi Maeda, Christopher J. Ashall +42

SN 2017dio shows both spectral characteristics of a type-Ic supernova (SN) and signs of a hydrogen-rich circumstellar medium (CSM). Prominent, narrow emission lines of H and He are…

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…

Near-IR spectroscopy of luminous LoBAL quasars at 1<z<2.5

Andreas Schulze, Malte Schramm, Wenwen Zuo +7

We present near-IR spectroscopy of 22 luminous low-ionization broad absorption line quasars (LoBAL QSOs) at redshift 1.3<z<2.5, with 12 objects at z~1.5 and 10 at z~2.3. The spectr…

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…

First results from GeMS/GSAOI for project SUNBIRD: Supernovae UNmasked By Infra-Red Detection

E. C. Kool, S. Ryder, E. Kankare +13

Core collapse supernova (CCSN) rates suffer from large uncertainties as many CCSNe exploding in regions of bright background emission and significant dust extinction remain unobser…

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…
