A study in scarlet -- II. Spectroscopic properties of a sample of Intermediate Luminosity Red Transients

G. Valerin, A. Pastorello, E. Mason +65

We investigate the spectroscopic characteristics of Intermediate Luminosity Red Transients (ILRTs), a class of elusive objects with peak luminosity between that of classical novae…

Panchromatic evolution of three luminous red novae: Forbidden hugs in pandemic times -- IV

A. Pastorello, G. Valerin, M. Fraser +77

We present photometric and spectroscopic data on three extragalactic luminous red novae (LRNe): AT2018bwo, AT2021afy, and AT2021blu. AT2018bwo was discovered in NGC45 (at 6.8 Mpc)…
