A Snapshot Survey of Nearby Supernovae with the Hubble Space Telescope

Raphael Baer-Way, Asia DeGraw, Weikang Zheng +12

Over recent decades, robotic (or highly automated) searches for supernovae (SNe) have discovered several thousand events, many of them in quite nearby galaxies (distances < 30 Mpc)…

Gaia17biu/SN 2017egm in NGC 3191: The closest hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova to date is in a "normal", massive, metal-rich spiral galaxy

Subhash Bose, Subo Dong, A. Pastorello +55

Hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) have been predominantly found in low-metallicity, star-forming dwarf galaxies. Here we identify Gaia17biu/SN 2017egm as an SLSN-I o…
