The early detection and follow-up of the highly obscured Type II supernova 2016ija/DLT16am
L. Tartaglia, D. J. Sand, S. Valenti +45
We present our analysis of the Type II supernova DLT16am (SN~2016ija). The object was discovered during the ongoing (DLT40) one day cadence supernova search a…
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…
Large Interstellar Polarisation Survey. LIPS I: FORS2 spectropolarimetry in the Southern Hemisphere
S. Bagnulo, N. J. L. Cox, A. Cikota +9
Polarimetric studies of light transmitted through interstellar clouds may give constraints on the properties of the interstellar dust grains. Traditionally, broadband linear polari…
Common continuum polarization properties: a possible link between proto-planetary nebulae and Type Ia Supernovae progenitors
Aleksandar Cikota, Ferdinando Patat, Stefan Cikota +2
The lines-of-sight to highly reddened SNe Ia show peculiar continuum polarization curves, growing toward blue wavelengths and peaking at , like no other si…
Spatially resolved analysis of Superluminous Supernovae PTF~11hrq and PTF~12dam host galaxies
Aleksandar Cikota, Annalisa De Cia, Steve Schulze +12
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are the most luminous supernovae in the universe. They are found in extreme star-forming galaxies and are probably connected with the death of mass…
Late-time Flattening of Type Ia Supernova Light Curves: Constraints From SN 2014J in M82
Yi Yang, Lifan Wang, Dietrich Baade +11
The very nearby Type Ia supernova 2014J in M82 offers a rare opportunity to study the physics of thermonuclear supernovae at extremely late phases (800 days). Using the Hu…
