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…

Strongly Bipolar Inner Ejecta of the Normal Type IIP Supernova ASASSN-16at

Subhash Bose, Subo Dong, N. Elias-Rosa +24

We report distinctly double-peakedH-alpha and H-beta emission lines in the late-time, nebular-phase spectra (>~200 d) of the otherwise normal at early phases (<~ 100 d) Type IIP su…

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…

Type II supernovae in low luminosity host galaxies

C. P. Gutiérrez, J. P. Anderson, M. Sullivan +29

We present an analysis of a new sample of type II core-collapse supernovae (SNe II) occurring within low-luminosity galaxies, comparing these with a sample of events in brighter ho…
