R-band light-curve properties of Type Ia supernovae from the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory
S. Papadogiannakis, A. Goobar, R. Amanullah +15
We present the best 265 sampled R-band light curves of spectroscopically identified Type Ia supernovae (SNe) from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF; 2009-2012) survey and the inte…
Analysis of broad-lined Type Ic supernovae from the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory
F. Taddia, J. Sollerman, C. Fremling +18
We study 34 Type Ic supernovae that have broad spectral features (SNe Ic-BL). We obtained our photometric data with the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and its continuation, the in…
A hot and fast ultra-stripped supernova that likely formed a compact neutron star binary
K. De, M. M. Kasliwal, E. O. Ofek +24
Compact neutron star binary systems are produced from binary massive stars through stellar evolution involving up to two supernova explosions. The final stages in the formation of…
The first tidal disruption flare in ZTF: from photometric selection to multi-wavelength characterization
Sjoert van Velzen, Suvi Gezari, S. Bradley Cenko +37
We present Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) observations of the tidal disruption flare AT2018zr/PS18kh reported by Holoien et al. and detected during ZTF commissioning. The ZTF ligh…
Supernova PTF12glz: a possible shock breakout driven through an aspherical wind
Maayane T. Soumagnac, Eran O. Ofek, Avishay Gal-Yam +21
We present visible-light and ultraviolet (UV) observations of the supernova PTF12glz. The SN was discovered and monitored in near-UV and R bands as part of a joint GALEX and Paloma…
A multi-wavelength approach to classifying transient events in the direction of M31
Monika D. Soraisam, Marat Gilfanov, Thomas Kupfer +4
(abridged) In the hunt for rare time-domain events, confusing exotic extragalactic phenomena with more common Galactic foreground events is an important consideration. We show how…
