Jets in Hydrogen-poor Super-luminous Supernovae: Constraints from a Comprehensive Analysis of Radio Observations
D. L. Coppejans, R. Margutti, C. Guidorzi +16
The energy source powering the extreme optical luminosity of hydrogen-stripped Superluminous Supernovae (SLSNe-I) is not known, but recent studies have highlighted the case for a c…
The Axially Symmetric Ejecta of Supernova 1987A
L. Wang, J. C. Wheeler, P. Hoeflich +15
Extensive early observations proved that the ejecta of supernova 1987A (SN 1987A) are aspherical. Fifteen years after the supernova explosion, the Hubble Space Telescope has resolv…
SN 2012au: A Golden Link Between Superluminous Supernovae and Their Lower-Luminosity Counterparts
D. Milisavljevic, A. Soderberg, R. Margutti +25
We present optical and near-infrared observations of SN 2012au, a slow-evolving supernova (SN) with properties that suggest a link between subsets of energetic and H-poor SNe and s…
Doublets and Double Peaks: Late-Time [O I] 6300, 6364 Line Profiles of Stripped-Envelope, Core-Collapse Supernovae
D. Milisavljevic, R. Fesen, C. Gerardy +2
We present optical spectra of SN 2007gr, SN 2007rz, SN 2007uy, SN 2008ax, and SN 2008bo obtained in the nebular phase when line profiles can lead to information about the velocity…
Supernova 1998bw - The final phases
J. Sollerman, S. T. Holland, P. Challis +10
The probable association with GRB 980425 immediately put SN 1998bw at the forefront of supernova research. Here, we present revised late-time BVRI light curves of the supernova, ba…
XMM-Newton slew survey discovery of the nova XMMSL1 J070542.7-381442 (V598 Pup)
A. M. Read, R. D. Saxton, M. A. P. Torres +6
In an attempt to catch new X-ray transients while they are still bright, the data taken by XMM-Newton as it slews between targets is being processed and cross-correlated with other…
