Scientific paper

The Palomar Transient Factory recently discovered a rare extragalactic transient, PTF10abcp, in the luminosity gap between novae and supernovae. Serendipitous detection of this transient with the WISE Observatory in the mid-infrared, combined with our ground-based follow-up, shows that PTF10acbp is a new member of the emerging class of Luminous Red Novae. To disentangle the large number of proposed theories in the literature, the mid-infrared is a vital diagnostic. Hence, we propose Spitzer/DDT observations.
