The lowest of the low: discovery of SN 2019gsc and the nature of faint Iax supernovae

Shubham Srivastav, Stephen J. Smartt, Giorgos Leloudas +15

We present the discovery and optical follow-up of the faintest supernova-like transient known. The event (SN 2019gsc) was discovered in a star-forming host at 53\,Mpc by ATLAS. A d…

SN2018kzr: a rapidly declining transient from the destruction of a white dwarf

Owen R. McBrien, Stephen J. Smartt, Ting-Wan Chen +31

We present SN2018kzr, the fastest declining supernova-like transient, second only to the kilonova, AT2017gfo. SN2018kzr is characterized by a peak magnitude of , peak…

The Sporadic Activity of (6478) Gault: A YORP-driven event?

Jan T. Kleyna, Olivier R. Hainaut, Karen J. Meech +15

On 2019 January 5 a streamer associated with the 4--10 km main-belt asteroid (6478)~Gault was detected by the ATLAS sky survey, a rare discovery of activity around a main-belt aste…

A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source

S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118

Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…

A transient search using combined human and machine classifications

Darryl E. Wright, Chris J. Lintott, Stephen J. Smartt +22

Large modern surveys require efficient review of data in order to find transient sources such as supernovae, and to distinguish such sources from artefacts and noise. Much effort h…
