Journal ArticleDOI

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).
Journal ArticleDOI

GROWTH on S190425z: Searching Thousands of Square Degrees to Identify an Optical or Infrared Counterpart to a Binary Neutron Star Merger with the Zwicky Transient Facility and Palomar Gattini-IR

Michael W. Coughlin, +84 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a dedicated follow-up campaign with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and Palomar Gattini-IR telescopes.
Journal ArticleDOI

GROWTH on S190814bv: Deep Synoptic Limits on the Optical/Near-infrared Counterpart to a Neutron Star–Black Hole Merger

Igor Andreoni, +59 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a photometric redshift catalog and radiative transfer simulations of NSBH mergers to constrain the ejecta mass of S190814bv to be $M_\mathrm{ej} < 0.04$~$M_{\odot}$ at polar viewing angles, or if the opacity is $\kappa < 2$~cm$^2$g$^{-1}$.
Journal ArticleDOI

GROWTH on S190425z: Searching thousands of square degrees to identify an optical or infrared counterpart to a binary neutron star merger with the Zwicky Transient Facility and Palomar Gattini IR

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a dedicated follow-up campaign with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and Palomar Gattini-IR telescopes.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

TL;DR: In this article, state-of-the-art kilonova models tailored to NSBH systems were presented, with the potential to rule out low mass ratios, high black hole spins and large neutron star radii.
