The Most Energetic Transients: Tidal Disruptions of High-Mass Stars
Jason T. Hinkle, Benjamin J. Shappee, Katie Auchettl +13
We present the class of extreme nuclear transients (ENTs), including the most energetic single transient yet discovered, Gaia18cdj. Each ENT is coincident with its host-galaxy nucl…
Rapid follow-up observations of infant supernovae with the Gran Telescopio Canarias
LluÃs Galbany, Claudia P. Gutiérrez, Lara Piscarreta +21
The first few hours of a supernova (SN) contain significant information about the progenitor system. The most modern wide-field surveys that scan the sky repeatedly every few days…
SN 2023ixf in the Pinwheel Galaxy M101: From Shock Breakout to the Nebular Phase
Weikang Zheng, Luc Dessart, Alexei V. Filippenko +39
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2023ixf covering from day one to 442 days after explosion. SN 2023ixf reached a peak -band absolute magnitude of $-18…
ZTF SN Ia DR2: Environmental dependencies of stretch and luminosity of a volume limited sample of 1,000 Type Ia Supernovae
M. Ginolin, M. Rigault, M. Smith +43
To get distances, Type Ia Supernovae magnitudes are corrected for their correlation with lightcurve width and colour. Here we investigate how this standardisation is affected by th…
ZTF SN Ia DR2: Colour standardisation of Type Ia Supernovae and its dependence on environment
M. Ginolin, M. Rigault, Y. Copin +37
As type Ia supernova (SN Ia) cosmology transitions from a statistics-dominated to a systematics-dominated era, it is crucial to understand the remaining unexplained uncertainties t…
Hawai'i Supernova Flows: A Peculiar Velocity Survey Using Over a Thousand Supernovae in the Near-Infrared
Aaron Do, Benjamin J. Shappee, John L. Tonry +15
We introduce the Hawai'i Supernova Flows project and present summary statistics of the first 1,217 astronomical transients observed, 668 of which are spectroscopically classified T…
