SN2017jgh - A high-cadence complete shock cooling lightcurve of a SN IIb with the Kepler telescope

P. Armstrong, B. E. Tucker, A. Rest +69

SN 2017jgh is a type IIb supernova discovered by Pan-STARRS during the C16/C17 campaigns of the Kepler/K2 mission. Here we present the Kepler/K2 and ground based observations of SN…

AT 2019qyl in NGC 300: Internal Collisions in the Early Outflow from a Very Fast Nova in a Symbiotic Binary

Jacob E. Jencson, Jennifer E. Andrews, Howard E. Bond +39

Nova eruptions, thermonuclear explosions on the surfaces of white dwarfs (WDs), are now recognized to be among the most common shock-powered astrophysical transients. We present th…

A Cool and Inflated Progenitor Candidate for the Type Ib Supernova 2019yvr at 2.6 Years Before Explosion

Charles D. Kilpatrick, Maria R. Drout, Katie Auchettl +13

We present Hubble Space Telescope imaging of a pre-explosion counterpart to SN 2019yvr obtained 2.6 years before its explosion as a type Ib supernova (SN Ib). Aligning to a post-ex…

Discovery of a Fast Iron Low-ionization Outflow in the Early Evolution of the Nearby Tidal Disruption Event AT2019qiz

Tiara Hung, Ryan J. Foley, S. Veilleux +16

We report the results of ultraviolet (UV) and optical photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2019qiz. Our follow-up observations started 10…

TDE Hosts are Green and Centrally Concentrated: Signatures of a Post-Merger System

Erica Hammerstein, Suvi Gezari, Sjoert van Velzen +17

We study the properties of the galaxies hosting the first 19 tidal disruption events (TDEs) detected with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) within the context of a carefully cons…
