A Linear Relation Between the Color Stretch and the Rising Color Slope of Type Ia Supernovae
Ping Chen, Subo Dong, Chris Ashall +34
Using data from the Complete Nearby () sample of Type Ia Supernovae (CNIa0.02), we discover a linear relation between two parameters derived from the color cur…
A Comprehensive Measurement of the Local Value of the Hubble Constant with 1 km/s/Mpc Uncertainty from the Hubble Space Telescope and the SH0ES Team
Adam G. Riess, Wenlong Yuan, Lucas M. Macri +15
We report observations from HST of Cepheids in the hosts of 42 SNe Ia used to calibrate the Hubble constant (H0). These include all suitable SNe Ia in the last 40 years at z<0.01,…
The Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2016: Velocity-Resolved Hβ Lags in Luminous Seyfert Galaxies
Vivian U, Aaron J. Barth, H. Alexander Vogler +61
We carried out spectroscopic monitoring of 21 low-redshift Seyfert 1 galaxies using the Kast double spectrograph on the 3-m Shane telescope at Lick Observatory from April 2016 to M…
A WC/WO star exploding within an expanding carbon-oxygen-neon nebula
A. Gal-Yam, R. Bruch, S. Schulze +46
The final explosive fate of massive stars, and the nature of the compact remnants they leave behind (black holes and neutron stars), are major open questions in astrophysics. Many…
The Type Icn SN 2021csp: Implications for the Origins of the Fastest Supernovae and the Fates of Wolf-Rayet Stars
Daniel A. Perley, Jesper Sollerman, Steve Schulze +31
We present observations of SN 2021csp, the second example of a newly-identified type of supernova (Type Icn) hallmarked by strong, narrow, P Cygni carbon features at early times. T…
A fast radio burst source at a complex magnetised site in a barred galaxy
H. Xu, J. R. Niu, P. Chen +71
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are highly dispersed millisecond-duration radio bursts. Recent observations of a Galactic FRB suggest that at least some FRBs originate from magnetars, but…
Spectropolarimetry of the Type Ia SN 2019ein rules out significant global asphericity of the ejecta
Kishore C. Patra, Yi Yang, Thomas G. Brink +12
Detailed spectropolarimetric studies may hold the key to probing the explosion mechanisms and the progenitor scenarios of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). We present multi-epoch spectr…
B3\,0749+460A: A New "Changing-Look" Active Galactic Nucleus Associated with X-ray Spectral Slope Variations
J. Wang, W. K. Zheng, D. W. Xu +5
Here we report an identification of B3\,0749+460A as a new double-peaked local "changing-look" active galactic nucleus (CL-AGN) in terms of our multi-epoch spectroscopic analysis.…
SN 2018hfm : A Low-Energy Type II Supernova with Prominent Signatures of Circumstellar Interaction and Dust Formation
Xinghan Zhang, Xiaofeng Wang, Hanna Sai +13
We present multiband optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of an unusual Type II supernova, SN 2018hfm, which exploded in the nearby (d = 34.67 Mpc) dwarf galaxy PGC 1…
Investigating the Nature of the Luminous Ambiguous Nuclear Transient ASASSN-17jz
Thomas W. -S. Holoien, Jack M. M. Neustadt, Patrick J. Vallely +31
We present observations of the extremely luminous but ambiguous nuclear transient (ANT) ASASSN-17jz, spanning roughly 1200 days of the object's evolution. ASASSN-17jz was discovere…
SN 2021csp -- the explosion of a stripped envelope star within a H and He-poor circumstellar medium
Morgan Fraser, Maximilian D. Stritzinger, Sean J. Brennan +48
We present observations of SN 2021csp, a unique supernova (SN) which displays evidence for interaction with H- and He- poor circumstellar material (CSM) at early times. Using high-…
Three Core-Collapse Supernovae with Nebular Hydrogen Emission
J. Sollerman, S. Yang, S. Schulze +25
We present SN 2020jfo, a Type IIP supernova in the nearby galaxy M61. Optical light curves from the Zwicky Transient Facility, complemented with data from Swift and near-IR photome…
SN 2017fgc: A Fast-Expanding Type Ia Supernova Exploded in Massive Shell Galaxy NGC 474
