Cosmic Streaming Field at Low Redshift
Lifan Wang
We study the expansion of the nearby Universe using a sample of Type Ia supernovae at redshifts below 0.08. These supernovae allow peculiar velocities to be measured at unprecedent…
Supernova Explosions: Lessons from Spectropolarimetry
Lifan Wang
Supernova can be polarized by an asymmetry in the explosion process, an off-center source of illumination, scattering in an envelope distorted by rotation or a binary companion, or…
Spectropolarimetry of GRB 021004 - Evidence for High Velocity Lyman-alpha Absorptions
Lifan Wang, D. Baade, P. Hoeflich +1
We present spectropolarimetry observations of GRB 021004 obtained at the ESO VLT. We detect a remarkable increase of the degree of polarization blueward of the host galaxy rest fra…
Bi-polar Supernova Explosions
Lifan Wang, D. Andrew Howell, Peter Hoeflich +1
We discuss the optical spectropolarimetry of several core-collapse supernovae, SN 1996cb (Type IIB), SN 1997X (Type Ic), and SN 1998S (Type IIn). The data show polarization evoluti…
