A flash of polarized optical light points to an aspherical "cow"
J. R. Maund, P. A. Hoeflich, I. A. Steele +8
The astronomical transient AT2018cow is the closest example of the new class of luminous, fast blue optical transients (FBOTs). Liverpool Telescope RINGO3 observations of AT2018cow…
The Core Normal Type Ia Supernova 2019np: An Overall Spherical Explosion with an Aspherical Surface Layer and an Aspherical 56Ni Core
Peter Hoeflich, Yi Yang, Dietrich Baade +10
Optical spectropolarimetry of the normal thermonuclear supernova SN2019np from -14.5 to +14.5 days relative to B-band maximum detected an intrinsic continuum polarization, p(cont),…
Observations of the luminous red nova AT 2021biy in the nearby galaxy NGC 4631
Y. -Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, M. Fraser +73
We present an observational study of the luminous red nova (LRN) AT\,2021biy in the nearby galaxy NGC\,4631. The field of the object was routinely imaged during the pre-eruptive st…
RINGO3 polarimetry of very young ZTF supernovae
J. R. Maund, Y. Yang, I. A. Steele +13
The early phases of the observed evolution of the supernovae (SNe) are expected to be dominated by the shock breakout and ``flash" ionization of the surrounding circumstellar mediu…
