Searching for Tidal Orbital Decay in Hot Jupiters
Efrain Alvarado, Kate B. Bostow, Kishore C. Patra +18
We study transits of several ``hot Jupiter'' systems - including WASP-12 b, WASP-43 b, WASP-103 b, HAT-P-23 b, KELT-16 b, WD 1856+534 b, and WTS-2 b - with the goal of detecting ti…
GRB 221009A/SN 2022xiw: A Supernova Obscured by a Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow?
De-Feng Kong, Xiang-Gao Wang, WeiKang Zheng +10
We present optical photometry for the afterglow of GRB 221009A, in some respects the most extraordinary gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever observed. Good quality in the R-band light curve…
Multiwavelength Polarization Observations of Mrk 501
Xin-Ke Hu, Yu-Wei Yu, Jin Zhang +18
Mrk 501 is a prototypical high-synchrotron-peaked blazar (HBL) and serves as one of the primary targets for the {\it Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer} ({\it IXPE}). In this study…
A seven-Earth-radius helium-burning star inside a 20.5-min detached binary
Jie Lin, Chengyuan Wu, Heran Xiong +28
Binary evolution theory predicts that the second common envelope (CE) ejection can produce low-mass (0.32-0.36 Msun) subdwarf B (sdB) stars inside ultrashort-orbital-period binary…
Minutes-duration Optical Flares with Supernova Luminosities
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Perley, Ping Chen +74
In recent years, certain luminous extragalactic optical transients have been observed to last only a few days. Their short observed duration implies a different powering mechanism…
Photometric and spectroscopic Studies of Superoutbursts of Three Dwarf Novae Independently Identified by The SVOM/GWAC System in 2018
J. Wang, H. L. Li, L. P. Xin +27
We report our photometric and spectroscopic follow-up observations of the superoutbursts of three dwarf novae (GWAC\,180415A, GWAC\,181017A and GWAC\,181211A) identified independen…
First Cosmology Results Using Type Ia Supernovae From the Dark Energy Survey: Survey Overview and Supernova Spectroscopy
C. B. D'Andrea, M. Smith, M. Sullivan +108
We present spectroscopy from the first three seasons of the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program (DES-SN). We describe the supernova spectroscopic program in full: strategy, observ…
The Berkeley Sample of Stripped-Envelope Supernovae
Isaac Shivvers, Alexei V. Filippenko, Jeffrey M. Silverman +22
We present the complete sample of stripped-envelope supernova (SN) spectra observed by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) collaboration over the last three decades: 888 s…
The first 48: Discovery and progenitor constraints on the Type Ia supernova 2013gy
S. Holmbo, M. D. Stritzinger, B. J. Shappee +26
We present an early-phase -band light curve and visual-wavelength spectra of the normal Type Ia supernova (SN) 2013gy. The light curve is constructed by determining the appropri…
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…
Murchison Widefield Array Limits on Radio Emission from ANTARES Neutrino Events
S. Croft, D. L. Kaplan, S. J. Tingay +131
We present a search, using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), for electromagnetic counterparts to two candidate high energy neutrino events detected by the ANTARES neutrino teles…
