The Rise and Fall of ASASSN-18pg: Following a TDE from Early To Late Times

Thomas W. -S. Holoien, Katie Auchettl, Michael A. Tucker +29

We present nearly 500 days of observations of the tidal disruption event ASASSN-18pg, spanning from 54 days before peak light to 441 days after peak light. Our dataset includes X-r…

Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. VIII. Time Variability of Emission and Absorption in NGC 5548 Based on Modeling the Ultraviolet Spectrum

G. A. Kriss, G. De Rosa, J. Ely +164

We model the ultraviolet spectra of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC~5548 obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope during the 6-month reverberation-mapping campaign in 2014. Our model of t…

Discovery of Highly Blueshifted Broad Balmer and Metastable Helium Absorption Lines in a Tidal Disruption Event

T. Hung, S. B. Cenko, Nathaniel Roth +25

We report the discovery of non-stellar hydrogen Balmer and metastable helium absorption lines accompanying a transient, high-velocity (0.05) broad absorption line (BAL) system i…

Gravity and Light: Combining Gravitational Wave and Electromagnetic Observations in the 2020s

R. J. Foley, K. D. Alexander, I. Andreoni +110

As of today, we have directly detected exactly one source in both gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation, the binary neutron star merger GW170817, its associa…

Nebular Spectra of 111 Type Ia Supernovae Disfavor Single Degenerate Progenitors

M. A. Tucker, B. J. Shappee, P. J. Vallely +15

We place statistical constraints on Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitors using 227 nebular phase spectra of 111 SNe Ia. We find no evidence of stripped companion emission in any o…

Signatures of Bimodality in Nebular Phase Type Ia Supernova Spectra

P. J. Vallely, M. A. Tucker, B. J. Shappee +3

One observational prediction for Type Ia supernova (SNe Ia) explosions produced through white dwarf-white dwarf collisions is the presence of bimodal velocity distributions for the…
