A Disappearing Act: Constraints From "Missing" Flares of Repeating Partial TDE Candidates
Jason T. Hinkle, Chang Liu, Adam A. Miller +6
Recurrent tidal disruption events (rTDEs) are sources that exhibit multiple TDE-like flares; many are likely powered by the recurring partial disruption of a bound star, in a repea…
ASAS-SN Rates IV: Constraints on the Kilonova Rate
Dhvanil D. Desai, Benjamin J. Shappee, Christopher S. Kochanek +10
Kilonovae (KNe) are the electromagnetic signatures of neutron star mergers and are likely the dominant site of cosmic -process nucleosynthesis. However, their intrinsic rate rem…
Supernova Rates and Luminosity Functions from ASAS-SN III: Over a Decade of Type Ia SNe and Their Subtypes
Dhvanil D. Desai, Benjamin J. Shappee, Christopher S. Kochanek +11
We present volumetric rates and luminosity functions (LFs) of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN), covering the 11-year period fr…
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…
To TDE or not to TDE: The luminous transient ASASSN-18jd with TDE-like and AGN-like qualities
J. M. M. Neustadt, T. W. -S. Holoien, C. S. Kochanek +26
We present the discovery of ASASSN-18jd (AT 2018bcb), a luminous optical/UV/X-ray transient located in the nucleus of the galaxy 2MASX J22434289--1659083 at . Over the ye…
ASASSN-15pz: Revealing Significant Photometric Diversity among 2009dc-like, Peculiar SNe Ia
Ping Chen, Subo Dong, Boaz Katz +17
We report comprehensive multi-wavelength observations of a peculiar Type Ia-like supernova ("SN Ia-pec") ASASSN-15pz. ASASSN-15pz is a spectroscopic "twin" of SN 2009dc, a so-calle…
The Rise and Peak of the Luminous Type IIn SN 2017hcc/ATLAS17lsn from ASAS-SN and Swift UVOT Data
J. L. Prieto, Ping Chen, Subo Dong +7
We present observations of the rise and peak of the Type IIn supernova SN 2017hcc/ATLAS17lsn obtained by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) and Swift UVOT. The l…
Six Months of Multi-Wavelength Follow-up of the Tidal Disruption Candidate ASASSN-14li and Implied TDE Rates from ASAS-SN
T. W. -S. Holoien, C. S. Kochanek, J. L. Prieto +21
We present ground-based and Swift photometric and spectroscopic observations of the candidate tidal disruption event (TDE) ASASSN-14li, found at the center of PGC 043234 ($d\simeq9…
