The volumetric rate of normal type Ia supernovae in the local universe discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory
C. Frohmaier, M. Sullivan, P. E. Nugent +10
We present the volumetric rate of normal type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). Using strict data-quality cuts, and considering only periods…
The Next Generation of Cosmological Measurements with Type Ia Supernovae
Dan Scolnic, Saul Perlmutter, Greg Aldering +56
While Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are one of the most mature cosmological probes, the next era promises to be extremely exciting in the number of different ways SNe Ia are used to…
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…
WFIRST: Enhancing Transient Science and Multi-Messenger Astronomy
Ryan J. Foley, Joshua S. Bloom, S. Bradley Cenko +31
Astrophysical transients have been observed for millennia and have shaped our most basic assumptions about the Universe. In the last century, systematic searches have grown from de…
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 Spectroscopy of Kepler's Brightest Supernova
G. Dimitriadis, C. Rojas-Bravo, C. D. Kilpatrick +9
We present late-time (240-260 days after peak brightness) optical photometry and nebular (+236 and +264 days) spectroscopy of SN 2018oh, the brightest Type Ia supernova (SN I…
