The ANTARES Astronomical Time-Domain Event Broker
Thomas Matheson, Carl Stubens, Nicholas Wolf +17
We describe the Arizona-NOIRLab Temporal Analysis and Response to Events System (ANTARES), a software instrument designed to process large-scale streams of astronomical time-domain…
The Palomar Transient Factory Core-Collapse Supernova Host-Galaxy Sample. I. Host-Galaxy Distribution Functions and Environment-Dependence of CCSNe
Steve Schulze, Ofer Yaron, Jesper Sollerman +51
Several thousand core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) of different flavors have been discovered so far. However, identifying their progenitors has remained an outstanding open question…
PTF11rka: an interacting supernova at the crossroads of stripped-envelope and H-poor super-luminous stellar core collapses
Elena Pian, Paolo A. Mazzali, Takashi J. Moriya +17
The hydrogen-poor supernova PTF11rka (z = 0.0744), reported by the Palomar Transient Factory, was observed with various telescopes starting a few days after the estimated explosion…
Are Type Ia Supernovae in Restframe Brighter in More Massive Galaxies?
Kara A. Ponder, W. Michael Wood-Vasey, Anja Weyant +5
We analyze 143 Type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) observed in band (1.6-1.8 m) and find SNeIa are intrinsically brighter in -band with increasing host galaxy stellar mass. We fin…
A classification algorithm for time-domain novelties in preparation for LSST alerts: Application to variable stars and transients detected with DECam in the Galactic Bulge
Monika D. Soraisam, Abhijit Saha, Thomas Matheson +8
With the advent of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), time-domain astronomy will be faced with an unprecedented volume and rate of data. Real-time processing of variables…
