The spectacular evolution of Supernova 1996al over 15 years: a low energy explosion of a stripped massive star in a highly structured environment
Stefano Benetti, Nikolai N. Chugai, Victor P. Utrobin +9
Spectrophotometry of SN 1996al carried out throughout 15 years is presented. The early photometry suggests that SN 1996al is a Linear type-II supernova, with an absolute peak of Mv…
SN 2009kn - the twin of the Type IIn supernova 1994W
E. Kankare, M. Ergon, F. Bufano +17
We present an optical and near-infrared photometric and spectroscopic study of supernova (SN) 2009kn spanning ~1.5 yr from the discovery. The optical spectra are dominated by the n…
Connecting RS OPh to [some] Type Ia Supernovae
F. Patat, N. N. Chugai, Ph. Podsiadlowski +3
Aims: Recurrent nova systems like RS Oph have been proposed as a possible channel to Type Ia Supernova explosions, based on the high mass of the accreting white dwarf. Additional s…
The He-rich Stripped-Envelope Core-Collapse Supernova 2008ax
S. Taubenberger, H. Navasardyan, J. I. Maurer +15
Extensive optical and near-infrared (NIR) observations of the type IIb supernova 2008ax are presented, covering the first year after the explosion. The light curve is mostly simila…
Type IIP Supernova 2009kf: Explosion Driven by Black Hole Accretion?
V. P. Utrobin, N. N. Chugai, M. T. Botticella
Unusually bright type IIP supernova (SN) 2009kf is studied employing the hydrodynamic modelling. We derived optimal values of the ejecta mass of 28.1 Msun, explosion energy of 2.2x…
