GW190425: Pan-STARRS and ATLAS coverage of the skymap and limits on optical emission associated with FRB190425

S. J. Smartt, M. Nicholl, S. Srivastav +32

GW190425 is the second of only two binary neutron star (BNS) merger events to be significantly detected by the LIGO-Virgo- Kagra gravitational wave detectors. With a detection only…

Photometric and Spectroscopic Properties of Type Ia Supernova 2018oh with Early Excess Emission from the 2 Observations

W. Li, X. Wang, J. Vinkó +160

Supernova (SN) 2018oh (ASASSN-18bt) is the first spectroscopically-confirmed type Ia supernova (SN Ia) observed in the field. The data revealed an excess emission…

PS18kh: A New Tidal Disruption Event with a Non-Axisymmetric Accretion Disk

T. W. -S. Holoien, M. E. Huber, B. J. Shappee +38

We present the discovery of PS18kh, a tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered at the center of SDSS J075654.53+341543.6 ( Mpc) by the Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients.…

Seeing Double: ASASSN-18bt Exhibits a Two-Component Rise in the Early-Time K2 Light Curve

B. J. Shappee, T. W. -s. Holoien, M. R. Drout +109

On 2018 Feb. 4.41, the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) discovered ASASSN-18bt in the K2 Campaign 16 field. With a redshift of z=0.01098 and a peak apparent magnit…

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…
