Optical Observations of the Young Type Ic Supernova SN 2014L in M99
Jujia Zhang, Xiaofeng Wang, József Vinkó +22
We present optical spectroscopic and photometric observations of the nearby type Ic supernova (SN Ic) SN 2014L. This SN was discovered by the Tsinghua-NAOC Transient Survey (TNTS)…
The Oxygen Features in Type Ia Supernovae and the Implications for the Nature of Thermonuclear Explosions
Xulin Zhao, Keiichi Maeda, Xiaofeng Wang +6
The absorption feature O I 7773 is an important spectral indicator for type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) that can be used to trace the unburned material at outer layers of the exploding…
Short-Lived Circumstellar Interaction in the Low-Luminosity Type IIP SN 2016bkv
Griffin Hosseinzadeh, Stefano Valenti, Curtis McCully +12
While interaction with circumstellar material is known to play an important role in Type IIn supernovae (SNe), analyses of the more common SNe IIP and IIL have not traditionally in…
SN 2014J in M82: New Insights On the Spectral Diversity of Type Ia Supernovae
Kaicheng Zhang, Xiaofeng Wang, JuJia Zhang +25
We present extensive spectroscopic observations for one of the closest type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), SN 2014J discovered in M82, ranging from 10.4 days before to 473.2 days after B-…
Discovery and Follow-up Observations of the Young Type Ia Supernova 2016coj
WeiKang Zheng, Alexei V. Filippenko, Jon Mauerhan +39
The Type~Ia supernova (SN~Ia) 2016coj in NGC 4125 (redshift ) was discovered by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search 4.9 days after the fitted first-light time (FFLT;…
SN 2018zd: An Unusual Stellar Explosion as Part of the Diverse Type II Supernova Landscape
Jujia Zhang, Xiaofeng Wang, Jozsef Vinko +29
We present extensive observations of SN 2018zd covering the first \,d after the explosion. This SN shows a possible shock-breakout signal \,hr after the explosion…
