Euclid: Searching for pair-instability supernovae with the Deep Survey
T. J. Moriya, C. Inserra, M. Tanaka +106
Pair-instability supernovae are theorized supernovae that have not yet been observationally confirmed. They are predicted to exist in low-metallicity environments. Because overall…
MAORY science cases white book
G. Fiorentino, M. Bellazzini, P. Ciliegi +9
MAORY is the Adaptive Optic (AO) module that will be installed at the E-ELT at the first light of the telescope. It will provide two different types of AO correction, a very high c…
The chemical enrichment of long-GRB nurseries up to z=2
S. D. Vergani, J. Palmerio, R. Salvaterra +12
We investigate the existence of a metallicity threshold for the production of long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs). We used the host galaxies of the Swift/BAT6 sample of LGRBs. We conside…
Taking stock of SLSN and LGRB host galaxy comparison using a complete sample of LGRBs
J. Japelj, S. D. Vergani, R. Salvaterra +2
Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) and superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are both explosive transients with very massive progenitor stars. Clues about the nature of the progenitors can b…
Are LGRBs biased tracers of star formation? Clues from the host galaxies of the Swift/BAT6 complete sample of bright LGRBs. II: star formation rates and metallicities at z < 1
J. Japelj, S. D. Vergani, R. Salvaterra +21
Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are associated with the deaths of massive stars and could thus be a potentially powerful tool to trace cosmic star formation. However, especially at l…
A time domain experiment with Swift: monitoring of seven nearby galaxies
Igor Andreoni, Paolo D'Avanzo, Sergio Campana +6
We aimed to detect a supernova (SN) shock breakout (SBO) with observations in time domain. The SBO marks the first escape of radiation from the blast wave that breaks through the p…
