On the Origin of the Monoceros Ring - I: Kinematics, proper motions, and the nature of the progenitor
Magda Guglielmo, Richard R. Lane, Blair C. Conn +3
The Monoceros Ring (MRi) structure is an apparent stellar overdensity that has been postulated to entirely encircle the Galactic plane and has been variously described as being due…
iPTF Survey for Cool Transients
S. M. Adams, N. Blagorodnova, M. M. Kasliwal +25
We performed a wide-area (2000 deg) g and I band experiment as part of a two month extension to the Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory. We discovered 36 extragalactic tra…
Illuminating Gravitational Waves: A Concordant Picture of Photons from a Neutron Star Merger
M. M. Kasliwal, E. Nakar, L. P. Singer +78
Merging neutron stars offer an exquisite laboratory for simultaneously studying strong-field gravity and matter in extreme environments. We establish the physical association of an…
A Radio Counterpart to a Neutron Star Merger
G. Hallinan, A. Corsi, K. P. Mooley +30
Gravitational waves have been detected from a binary neutron star merger event, GW170817. The detection of electromagnetic radiation from the same source has shown that the merger…
Measuring 14 elemental abundances with R=1,800 LAMOST spectra
Yuan-Sen Ting, Hans-Walter Rix, Charlie Conroy +2
The LAMOST survey has acquired low-resolution spectra (R=1,800) for 5 million stars across the Milky Way, far more than any current stellar survey at a corresponding or higher spec…
iPTF16fnl: a faint and fast tidal disruption event in an E+A galaxy
N. Blagorodnova, S. Gezari, T. Hung +30
We present ground-based and \textit{Swift} observations of iPTF16fnl, a likely tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) survey a…
