      © 2017 The Authors. We report on the detection of a remarkable new fast high-energy transient found in the Chandra Deep Field-South, robustly associated with a faint (mR = 27.5mag, zph ~2.2) host in the CANDELS survey. The ...
    • Martínez Palomera, Jorge; Lira Teillery, Paulina; Bhalla-Ladd, India; Forster, Francisco; Plotkin, Richard (IOP, 2020)
      Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) have masses between 10(2) and 10(6) M<sub and are key to our understanding of the formation of massive black holes. The known population of IMBHs remains small, with a few hundred ...

      Supernova (SN) 2017cbv in NGC 5643 is one of a handful of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) reported to have excess blue emission at early times. This paper presents extensive BVRIYJHK(s)-band light curves of SN 2017cbv, covering ...
    • Minniti, D.; Saito, R. K.; Forster, Francisco; Pignata Libralato, Giuliano; Ivanov, V. D.; Lucas, P. W.; Beamin, J. C.; Borissova, J.; Catelan, M.; González, O. A.; Hempel, M.; Hsiao, E.

      We report the discovery of an enigmatic large-amplitude (DKs > 10.5 mag) transient event in near-IR data obtained by the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) ESO Public Survey. The object (designated VVV-WIT- 06) is ...
    • Martínez Palomera, Jorge; Forster, Francisco; Protopapas, Pavlos; Maureira, Juan Carlos; Lira Teillery, Paulina; Cabrera Vives, Guillermo; Huijse Heise, Pablo Andrés; Galbany, Lluis; De Jaeger, Thomas; González Gaitán, Santiago; Medina, Gustavo; Pignata Libralato, Giuliano; San Martín Aristegui, Jaime; Hamuy Wackenhut, Mario; Muñoz Vidal, Ricardo Rodrigo (2018)
      The High Cadence Transient Survey (HiTS) aims to discover and study transient objects with characteristic timescales between hours and days, such as pulsating, eclipsing and exploding stars. This survey represents a ...
    • Moriya, Takashi J.; Forster, Francisco; Yoon, Sung-Chul; Graefener, Goetz; Blinnikov, Sergei I. (Oxford University Press, 2018)
      We introduce the first synthetic light-curve model set of Type IIP supernovae exploded within circumstellar media in which the acceleration of the red supergiant winds is taken into account. Because wind acceleration makes ...
