Three-dimensional distribution of ejecta in Supernova 1987A at 10 000 days
J. Larsson, C. Fransson, J. Spyromilio +19
Due to its proximity, SN 1987A offers a unique opportunity to directly observe the geometry of a stellar explosion as it unfolds. Here we present spectral and imaging observations…
The Superluminous Transient ASASSN-15lh as a Tidal Disruption Event from a Kerr Black Hole
G. Leloudas, M. Fraser, N. C. Stone +47
When a star passes within the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole, it will be torn apart. For a star with the mass of the Sun () and a non-spinning black hole with a…
ASASSN-15lh: A Superluminous Ultraviolet Rebrightening Observed by Swift and Hubble
Peter J. Brown, Yi Yang, Jeff Cooke +10
We present and discuss ultraviolet and optical photometry from the Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope and X-ray limits from the X-Ray Telescope on Swift and imaging polarimetry and ultr…
Comparative Analysis of SN 2012dn Optical Spectra: Days -14 to +114
J. T. Parrent, D. A. Howell, R. A. Fesen +19
SN 2012dn is a super-Chandrasekhar mass candidate in a purportedly normal spiral (SAcd) galaxy, and poses a challenge for theories of type Ia supernova diversity. Here we utilize t…
