Optical follow-up of the neutron star-black hole mergers S200105ae and S200115j
Shreya Anand, Michael W. Coughlin, Mansi M. Kasliwal +46
LIGO and Virgo's third observing run (O3) revealed the first neutron star-black hole (NSBH) merger candidates in gravitational waves. These events are predicted to synthesize r-pro…
Characterization of Temporarily-Captured Minimoon 2020 CD by Keck Time-resolved Spectrophotometry
Bryce T. Bolin, Christoffer Fremling, Timothy R. Holt +42
We present time-resolved visible spectrophotometry of minimoon 2020 CD, the second asteroid known to become temporarily captured by the Earth-Moon system's gravitational field.…
A new class of Roche lobe-filling hot subdwarf binaries
Thomas Kupfer, Evan B. Bauer, Kevin B. Burdge +30
We present the discovery of the second binary with a Roche lobe-filling hot subdwarf transferring mass to a white dwarf (WD) companion. This 56 minute binary was discovered using d…
SN2019dge: a Helium-rich Ultra-Stripped Envelope Supernova
Yuhan Yao, Kishalay De, Mansi M. Kasliwal +28
We present observations of ZTF18abfcmjw (SN2019dge), a helium-rich supernova with a fast-evolving light curve indicating an extremely low ejecta mass () and l…
Zwicky Transient Facility constraints on the optical emission from the nearby repeating FRB 180916.J0158+65
Igor Andreoni, Wenbin Lu, Roger M. Smith +16
The discovery rate of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is increasing dramatically thanks to new radio facilities. Meanwhile, wide-field instruments such as the 47 deg Zwicky Transient…
An extremely energetic supernova from a very massive star in a dense medium
Matt Nicholl, Peter K. Blanchard, Edo Berger +14
The interaction of a supernova with a circumstellar medium (CSM) can dramatically increase the emitted luminosity by converting kinetic energy to thermal energy. In 'superluminous'…
