The mystery of photometric twins DES17X1boj and DES16E2bjy

M. Pursiainen, +95 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analysis of DES17X1boj and DES16E2bjy, two peculiar transients discovered by the DES, which exhibit nearly identical double-peaked light curves that reach very different maximum luminosities (Mr = −15.4 and −17.9, respectively).

Catching Element Formation In The Act. The Case for a New MeV Gamma-Ray Mission: Radionuclide Astronomy in the 2020s. A White Paper for the 2020 Decadal Survey

Chris L. Fryer, +218 more
TL;DR: Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics as mentioned in this paper, and it encompasses a wide range of objects and phenomena: stars, supernovae, novae, neutron stars, stellar-mass black holes, nucleosynthesis, the interstellar medium, cosmic rays and relativistic-particle acceleration.
