Supernova Shock Breakout from a Red Supergiant
Kevin Schawinski, Stephen Justham, Christian Wolf +21
Massive stars undergo a violent death when the supply of nuclear fuel in their cores is exhausted, resulting in a catastrophic "core-collapse" supernova. Such events are usually on…
The Carnegie Supernova Project: First Near-Infrared Hubble Diagram to z~0.7
Wendy L. Freedman, Christopher R. Burns, M. M. Phillips +37
The Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP) is designed to measure the luminosity distance for Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as a function of redshift, and to set observational constraints…
Rapidly Rising Transients in the Supernova - Superluminous Supernova Gap
Iair Arcavi, William M. Wolf, D. Andrew Howell +26
We present observations of four rapidly rising (t_{rise}~10d) transients with peak luminosities between those of supernovae (SNe) and superluminous SNe (M_{peak}~-20) - one discove…
Towards a Cosmological Hubble Diagram for Type II-P Supernovae
Peter Nugent, Mark Sullivan, Richard Ellis +13
We present the first high-redshift Hubble diagram for Type II-P supernovae (SNe II-P) based upon five events at redshift up to z~0.3. This diagram was constructed using photometry…
