Close, bright and boxy: the superluminous SN 2018hti

A. Fiore, S. Benetti, M. Nicholl +37

SN 2018hti was a very nearby (z=0.0614) superluminous supernova with an exceedingly bright absolute magnitude of -21.7 mag in r-band at maximum. The densely sampled pre-maximum lig…

How low can you go? SN 2018zd as a low-mass Fe core-collapse supernova

E. Callis, M. Fraser, A. Pastorello +38

We present spectroscopy and photometry of SN 2018zd, a Type IIP core-collapse supernova with signatures of interaction with circumstantial material in its earliest spectra. High io…

SN 2021csp -- the explosion of a stripped envelope star within a H and He-poor circumstellar medium

Morgan Fraser, Maximilian D. Stritzinger, Sean J. Brennan +48

We present observations of SN 2021csp, a unique supernova (SN) which displays evidence for interaction with H- and He- poor circumstellar material (CSM) at early times. Using high-…

Intermediate-luminosity red transients: Spectrophotometric properties and connection to electron-capture supernova explosions

Y. -Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, M. Fraser +56

We present the spectroscopic and photometric study of five intermediate-luminosity red transients (ILRTs), namely AT 2010dn, AT 2012jc, AT 2013la, AT 2013lb, and AT 2018aes. They s…

The double-peaked type Ic Supernova 2019cad: another SN 2005bf-like object

C. P. Gutiérrez, M. C. Bersten, M. Orellana +23

We present the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of supernova (SN) 2019cad during the first days from explosion. Based on the light curve morphology, we find that S…

Core-collapse supernova subtypes in luminous infrared galaxies

E. Kankare, A. Efstathiou, R. Kotak +34

We present the discovery and follow-up observations of two CCSNe that occurred in the luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG), NGC3256. The first, SN2018ec, was discovered using the ESO HA…
