| Abstract: |
For over a century, light echoes have been observed around variable
stars and transients. The discovery of centuries-old light echoes from
supernovae in the Large Magellanic Cloud has allowed the spectroscopic
characterization of these events using modern instrumentation, even in
the complete absence of any visual record of those events. Here we
review the pivotal role the Blanco 4m telescope played in these
discoveries. |
