TL;DR: In this paper, a new He-rich SLSN-I, ZTF19aawfbtg (SN2019hge), at z = 0.0866 was identified from a near-IR spectrum taken at +34 days.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The early phases of the observed evolution of the supernovae (SNe) are expected to be dominated by the shock breakout and flash ionization of the surrounding circumstellar medium, such that photometry and spectroscopy of SNe at early times can place vital constraints on the latest and fastest evolutionary phases leading up to stellar death as mentioned in this paper.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Advanced Segmented Silicon Space Telescope (ASSiST)
TL;DR: The intention here is to present the case for the economic advantage of silicon as a highly functional optical substrate that can be fabricated using unparalleled industry experience with precision process control in the fabrication of ultralightweight space telescopes.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Initial concepts for CELT adaptive optics
Richard Dekany,Brian J. Bauman,Donald T. Gavel,Mitchell Troy,Bruce Macintosh,Matthew C. Britton +5 more
TL;DR: The California Extremely Large Telescope (CELT) project has recently completed a 12-month conceptual design phase that has investigated major technology challenges in a number of Observatory subsystems, including adaptive optics as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first compilation of 72 core-collapse supernovae from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) was used to study their observed subtype distribution in dwarf galaxies compared to giant galaxies.
