Target of Opportunity Observations of Gravitational Wave Events with LSST
R. Margutti, P. Cowperthwaite, Z. Doctor +79
The discovery of the electromagnetic counterparts to the binary neutron star merger GW170817 has opened the era of GW+EM multi-messenger astronomy. Exploiting this breakthrough req…
Chemical Abundance Analysis of Tucana III, the Second -process Enhanced Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy
J. L. Marshall, T. Hansen, J. D. Simon +56
We present a chemical abundance analysis of four additional confirmed member stars of Tucana III, a Milky Way satellite galaxy candidate in the process of being tidally disrupted a…
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…
First Cosmology Results Using Type Ia Supernovae From the Dark Energy Survey: Analysis, Systematic Uncertainties, and Validation
D. Brout, D. Scolnic, R. Kessler +122
We present the analysis underpinning the measurement of cosmological parameters from 207 spectroscopically classified type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the first three years of the…
A nearby superluminous supernova with a long pre-maximum 'plateau' and strong CII features
J. P. Anderson, P. J. Pessi, L. Dessart +63
Super-luminous supernovae (SLSNe) are rare events defined as being significantly more luminous than normal terminal stellar explosions. The source of the extra powering needed to a…
Modelling the Tucana III stream - a close passage with the LMC
D. Erkal, T. S. Li, S. E. Koposov +67
We present results of the first dynamical stream fits to the recently discovered Tucana III stream. These fits assume a fixed Milky Way potential and give proper motion predictions…
