Optical follow-up of the neutron star-black hole mergers S200105ae and S200115j

Shreya Anand, Michael W. Coughlin, Mansi M. Kasliwal +46

LIGO and Virgo's third observing run (O3) revealed the first neutron star-black hole (NSBH) merger candidates in gravitational waves. These events are predicted to synthesize r-pro…

Constraining the X-ray - Infrared spectral index of second-timescale flares from SGR1935+2154 with Palomar Gattini-IR

Kishalay De, Michael C. B. Ashley, Igor Andreoni +16

The Galactic magnetar SGR1935+2154 has been reported to produce the first known example of a bright millisecond duration radio burst (FRB 200428) similar to the cosmological popula…

Early Ultra-Violet observations of type IIn supernovae constrain the asphericity of their circumstellar material

Maayane T. Soumagnac, Eran O. Ofek, Jingyi Liang +41

We present a survey of the early evolution of 12 Type IIn supernovae (SNe IIn) in the Ultra-Violet (UV) and visible light. We use this survey to constrain the geometry of the circu…
