Variability-selected Active Galactic Nuclei in the VST-SUDARE/VOICE Survey of the COSMOS Field
D. De Cicco, M. Paolillo, G. Covone +16
Optical variability has proven to be an effective way of detecting AGNs in imaging surveys, lasting from weeks to years. In the present work we test its use as a tool to identify A…
Defining Photometric Peculiar Type Ia Supernovae
S. Gonzalez-Gaitan, E. Y. Hsiao, G. Pignata +9
We present a new photometric identification technique for SN 1991bg-like type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), i.e. objects with light-curve characteristics such as later primary maxima and…
Supernova 2010as: the Lowest-Velocity Member of a Family of Flat-Velocity Type IIb Supernovae
Gastón Folatelli, Melina C. Bersten, Hanindyo Kuncarayakti +23
We present extensive optical and near-infrared photometric and spectroscopic observations of the stripped-envelope (SE) supernova SN 2010as. Spectroscopic peculiarities, such as in…
VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV): Halfway Status and Results
Maren Hempel, Dante Minniti, István Dékány +89
The VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) survey is one of six public ESO surveys, and is now in its 4th year of observing. Although far from being complete, the VVV survey has a…
Extensive HST Ultraviolet Spectra and Multi-wavelength Observations of SN 2014J in M82 Indicate Reddening and Circumstellar Scattering by Typical Dust
Ryan J. Foley, O. D. Fox, C. McCully +20
SN 2014J in M82 is the closest detected Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) in at least 28 years and perhaps in 410 years. Despite its small distance of 3.3 Mpc, SN 2014J is surprisingly fai…
A Missing-Link in the Supernova-GRB Connection: The Case of SN 2012ap
Sayan Chakraborti, Alicia Soderberg, Laura Chomiuk +50
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are characterized by ultra-relativistic outflows, while supernovae are generally characterized by non-relativistic ejecta. GRB afterglows decelerate rapidly…
