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…
A WC/WO star exploding within an expanding carbon-oxygen-neon nebula
A. Gal-Yam, R. Bruch, S. Schulze +46
The final explosive fate of massive stars, and the nature of the compact remnants they leave behind (black holes and neutron stars), are major open questions in astrophysics. Many…
Type Ic supernovae from the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory
C. Barbarino, J. Sollerman, F. Taddia +8
Type Ic supernovae represent the explosions of the most stripped massive stars, but their progenitors and explosion mechanisms remain unclear. Larger samples of observed supernovae…
Discovery of an intermediate-luminosity red transient in M51 and its likely dust-obscured, infrared-variable progenitor
Jacob E. Jencson, Scott M. Adams, Howard E. Bond +49
We present the discovery of an optical transient (OT) in Messier 51, designated M51 OT2019-1 (also ZTF19aadyppr, AT 2019abn, ATLAS19bzl), by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). Th…
450 Days of Type II SN 2013ej in Optical and Near-Infrared
Fang Yuan, A. Jerkstrand, S. Valenti +31
We present optical and near-infrared photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2013ej, in galaxy M74, from 1 to 450 days after the explosion. SN 2013ej is a hydrogen-rich su…
