Spectrophotometric templates for core collapse supernovae and their application in simulations of time-domain surveys
M. Vincenzi, M. Sullivan, R. E. Firth +5
The design and analysis of time-domain sky surveys requires the ability to simulate accurately realistic populations of core collapse supernova (SN) events. We present a set of spe…
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 search for an optical counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW151226
S. J. Smartt, K. C. Chambers, K. W. Smith +37
We present a search for an electromagnetic counterpart of the gravitational wave source GW151226. Using the Pan-STARRS1 telescope we mapped out 290 square degrees in the optical i_…
The Rising Light Curves of Type Ia Supernovae
R. E. Firth, M. Sullivan, A. Gal-Yam +11
We present an analysis of the early, rising light curves of 18 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and the La Silla-QUEST variability surv…
