Non-thermal emission processes in massive binaries

M De Becker - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2007 - Springer
In this paper, I present a general discussion of several astrophysical processes likely to play
a role in the production of non-thermal emission in massive stars, with emphasis on massive …

An extremely luminous X-ray outburst at the birth of a supernova

AM Soderberg, E Berger, KL Page, P Schady, J Parrent… - Nature, 2008 - nature.com
Massive stars end their short lives in spectacular explosions—supernovae—that synthesize
new elements and drive galaxy evolution. Historically, supernovae were discovered mainly …

AT2018cow: a luminous millimeter transient

AYQ Ho - The Landscape of Relativistic Stellar Explosions, 2022 - Springer
We present detailed submillimeter—through centimeter—wave observations of the
extraordinary extragalactic transient AT2018cow. The apparent characteristics—the high …

A relativistic type Ibc supernova without a detected γ-ray burst

AM Soderberg, S Chakraborti, G Pignata, RA Chevalier… - Nature, 2010 - nature.com
Long duration γ-ray bursts (GRBs) mark the explosive death of some massive stars and are
a rare sub-class of type Ibc supernovae. They are distinguished by the production of an …

Late-time radio observations of 68 type Ibc supernovae: strong constraints on off-axis gamma-ray bursts

AM Soderberg, E Nakar, E Berger… - The Astrophysical …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We present late-time radio observations of 68 local Type Ibc supernovae, including six
events with broad optical absorption lines (" hypernovae"). None of these objects exhibit …

Discovery, progenitor and early evolution of a stripped envelope supernova iPTF13bvn

Y Cao, MM Kasliwal, I Arcavi, A Horesh… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
ABSTRACT The intermediate Palomar Transient Factory reports our discovery of a young
supernova, iPTF13bvn, in the nearby galaxy, NGC 5806 (22.5 Mpc). Our spectral sequence …

Catalogue of particle-accelerating colliding-wind binaries

M De Becker, F Raucq - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2013 - aanda.org
Massive systems made of two or more stars are known to be the site for interesting physical
processes–including at least in some cases–particle acceleration. Over the past decade, this …

The radio and X-Ray luminous SN 2003bg and the circumstellar density variations around radio supernovae

AM Soderberg, RA Chevalier… - The Astrophysical …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We report extensive radio and X-ray observations of SN 2003bg, whose spectroscopic
evolution shows a transition from a broad-lined Type Ic to a hydrogen-rich Type II, and later …

Panchromatic observations of SN 2011dh point to a compact progenitor star

AM Soderberg, R Margutti, BA Zauderer… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We report the discovery and detailed monitoring of X-ray emission associated with the Type
IIb SN 2011dh using data from the Swift and Chandra satellites, placing it among the best …

A multi-wavelength investigation of the radio-loud supernova PTF11qcj and its circumstellar environment

A Corsi, EO Ofek, A Gal-Yam, DA Frail… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the discovery, classification, and extensive panchromatic (from radio to X-ray)
follow-up observations of PTF11qcj, a supernova (SN) discovered by the Palomar Transient …
