Eruptive mass loss less than a year before the explosion of superluminous supernovae: I. The cases of SN 2020xga and SN 2022xgc
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2020xga and SN 2022xgc, two hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) at z = 0.4296 and z = 0...
Topics discussed include the origin and early development of galaxies; gas and global star formation; galactic nuclei; population, age, and dynamics of the...
Examining supernova events in Type 1 active galactic nuclei
A statistical study of intermediate Palomar Transient Factory supernovae (SNe) in Type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) has shown a major deficit of supernovae...
First Cosmology Results using Supernovae Ia from the Dark Energy Survey: Survey Overview, Performance, and Supernova Spectroscopy
We present details on the observing strategy, data-processing techniques, and spectroscopic targeting algorithms for the first three years of operation for the...
From Shock Breakout to Peak and Beyond: Extensive Panchromatic Observations of the Type Ib Supernova 2008D Associated with Swift X-ray Transient 080109
We present extensive early photometric (ultraviolet through near-infrared) and spectroscopic (optical and near-infrared) data on supernova (SN) 2008D as well as...
Gaia Early Data Release 3. Gaia photometric science alerts
Context. Since July 2014, the Gaia mission has been engaged in a high-spatial-resolution, time-resolved, precise, accurate astrometric, and photometric survey...
Gamma-ray line emission from OB associations and young open clusters. I. Evolutionary synthesis models
We have developed a new diagnostic tool for the study of gamma-ray emission lines from radioactive isotopes (such as 26Al and 60Fe) in conjunction with other...
A complex kinematical structure is inferred from the analysis of high resolution spectra of the nuclear region of the galaxy NGC 6946. The spatial resolution of...
