- Abstract:
-
We present the discovery and characterization of PTF10iya, a short-lived (Δt≈ 10d, with an optical decay rate of ∼0.3magd -1), luminous (mag) transient source found by the Palomar Transient Factory. The ultraviolet/optical spectral energy distribution is reasonably well fitted by a blackbody with T≈ (1-2) × 10 4K and peak bolometric luminosity L BB≈ (1-5) × 10 44ergs -1 (depending on the details of the extinction correction). A comparable amount of energy is radiated in the X-ray band that ap...
