The Pan-STARRS1 Surveys
K. C. Chambers, E. A. Magnier, N. Metcalfe +123
Pan-STARRS1 has carried out a set of distinct synoptic imaging sky surveys including the Steradian Survey and the Medium Deep Survey in 5 bands (). The mean 5 p…
The evolution of superluminous supernova LSQ14mo and its interacting host galaxy system
T. -W. Chen, M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt +26
We present and analyse an extensive dataset of the superluminous supernova (SLSN) LSQ14mo (z = 0.256), consisting of a multi-colour lightcurve from -30 d to +70 d in the rest-frame…
The progenitor and early evolution of the Type IIb SN 2016gkg
L. Tartaglia, M. Fraser, D. J. Sand +24
We report initial observations and analysis on the Type IIb SN~2016gkg in the nearby galaxy NGC~613. SN~2016gkg exhibited a clear double-peaked light curve during its early evoluti…
Early observations of the nearby type Ia supernova SN 2015F
R. Cartier, M. Sullivan, R. Firth +25
We present photometry and time-series spectroscopy of the nearby type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2015F over days to days relative to maximum light, obtained as part of the…
Superluminous supernova 2015bn in the nebular phase: evidence for the engine-powered explosion of a stripped massive star
M. Nicholl, E. Berger, R. Margutti +25
We present nebular-phase imaging and spectroscopy for the hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova SN 2015bn, at redshift z=0.1136, spanning +250-400 d after maximum light. The light…
The Superluminous Transient ASASSN-15lh as a Tidal Disruption Event from a Kerr Black Hole
G. Leloudas, M. Fraser, N. C. Stone +47
When a star passes within the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole, it will be torn apart. For a star with the mass of the Sun () and a non-spinning black hole with a…
