Bright, months-long stellar outbursts announce the explosion of interaction-powered supernovae
Nora L. Strotjohann, Eran O. Ofek, Avishay Gal-Yam +53
Interaction-powered supernovae (SNe) explode within an optically-thick circumstellar medium (CSM) that could be ejected during eruptive events. To identify and characterize such pr…
A large fraction of hydrogen-rich supernova progenitors experience elevated mass loss shortly prior to explosion
Rachel J. Bruch, Avishay Gal-Yam, Steve Schulze +43
Spectroscopic detection of narrow emission lines traces the presence of circumstellar mass distributions around massive stars exploding as core-collapse supernovae. Transient emiss…
Spectroscopy of the first resolved strongly lensed Type Ia supernova iPTF16geu
J. Johansson, A. Goobar, S. H. Price +14
We report the results from spectroscopic observations of the multiple images of the strongly lensed Type Ia supernova (SN Ia), iPTF16geu, obtained with ground based telescopes and…
The Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe I: Systematic search for Calcium rich gap transients reveal three related spectroscopic sub-classes
Kishalay De, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Anastasios Tzanidakis +47
(Abridged) Using the Zwicky Transient Facility alert stream, we are conducting a large campaign to spectroscopically classify all transients occurring in galaxies in the Census of…
Early Ultra-Violet observations of type IIn supernovae constrain the asphericity of their circumstellar material
Maayane T. Soumagnac, Eran O. Ofek, Jingyi Liang +41
We present a survey of the early evolution of 12 Type IIn supernovae (SNe IIn) in the Ultra-Violet (UV) and visible light. We use this survey to constrain the geometry of the circu…
