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…

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…

Observations of the GRB afterglow ATLAS17aeu and its possible association with GW170104

B. Stalder, J. Tonry, S. J. Smartt +26

We report the discovery and multi-wavelength data analysis of the peculiar optical transient, ATLAS17aeu. This transient was identified in the skymap of the LIGO gravitational wave…
