The fast, luminous ultraviolet transient AT2018cow: extreme supernova, or disruption of a star by an intermediate-mass black hole?

Daniel A. Perley, +72 more
TL;DR: In this article, the spectrum remains extremely hot throughout its evolution, and the photospheric radius contracts with time (receding below R <10^14 cm after 1 month).

Transient processing and analysis using $\texttt{AMPEL}$: Alert Management, Photometry and Evaluation of Lightcurves

TL;DR: AMPEL as mentioned in this paper is an analysis framework designed for high-throughput surveys and suited for streamed data, which combines the functionality of an alert broker with a generic framework capable of hosting user-contributed code, that encourages provenance and keeps track of the varying information states that a transient displays.

AMPEL: Alert Management, Photometry, and Evaluation of Light curves

TL;DR: How users can design their own channels for inclusion in the AMPEL live instance that parses the ZTF stream and the real-time submission of high quality extragalactic supernova candidates to the TNS is introduced.
