The optical light curve of GRB 221009A: the afterglow and the emerging supernova

M. D. Fulton, S. J. Smartt, L. Rhodes +46

We present extensive optical photometry of the afterglow of GRB~221009A. Our data cover \,days from the time of \textit{Swift} and \textit{Fermi} GRB detections. Photom…

Observational constraints on the optical and near-infrared emission from the neutron star-black hole binary merger S190814bv

K. Ackley, L. Amati, C. Barbieri +151

On 2019 August 14, the LIGO and Virgo interferometers detected a high-significance event labelled S190814bv. Preliminary analysis of the GW data suggests that the event was likely…

Searching for Super-Fast Rotators Using the Pan-STARRS 1

Chan-Kao Chang, Hsing-Wen Lin, Wing-Huen Ip +9

A class of asteroids, called large super-fast rotators (large SFRs), have rotation periods shorter than 2 hours and diameters larger than ~ 0.3 km. They pose challenges to the usua…

Search for transient optical counterparts to high-energy IceCube neutrinos with Pan-STARRS1

E. Kankare, M. Huber, S. J. Smartt +345

In order to identify the sources of the observed diffuse high-energy neutrino flux, it is crucial to discover their electromagnetic counterparts. IceCube began releasing alerts for…

K2 Observations of SN 2018oh Reveal a Two-Component Rising Light Curve for a Type Ia Supernova

G. Dimitriadis, R. J. Foley, A. Rest +145

We present an exquisite, 30-min cadence Kepler (K2) light curve of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2018oh (ASASSN-18bt), starting weeks before explosion, covering the moment of explo…

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…
