Strong Near-Infrared Carbon Absorption in the Transitional Type Ia SN 2015bp
S. D. Wyatt, D. J. Sand, E. Y. Hsiao +20
Unburned carbon is potentially a powerful probe of Type Ia supernova (SN) explosion mechanisms. We present comprehensive optical and near-infrared (NIR) data on the "transitional"…
The First Data Release of CNIa0.02 -- A Complete Nearby (Redshift <0.02) Sample of Type Ia Supernova Light Curves
Ping Chen, Subo Dong, C. S. Kochanek +41
The CNIa0.02 project aims to collect a complete, nearby sample of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) light curves, and the SNe are volume-limited with host-galaxy redshifts z_host < 0.02.…
Line Identification and Excitation of Autoionizing States in a Late-Type, Low Mass Wolf-Rayet Star
Robert Williams, Catherine Manea, Bruce Margon +1
Identifications of a large fraction of previously unidentified lines in the complex spectrum of the low mass, late-type LMC [WC11] star J060819.93-715737.4 have been made utilizing…
Luminous Type II Short-Plateau Supernovae 2006Y, 2006ai, and 2016egz: A Transitional Class from Stripped Massive Red Supergiants
Daichi Hiramatsu, D. Andrew Howell, Takashi J. Moriya +21
The diversity of Type II supernovae (SNe II) is thought to be driven mainly by differences in their progenitor's hydrogen-rich (H-rich) envelope mass, with SNe IIP having long plat…
Optical and Near-Infrared Observations of the Nearby Type Ia Supernova 2017cbv
Lingzhi Wang, Carlos Contreras, Maokai Hu +28
Supernova (SN) 2017cbv in NGC 5643 is one of a handful of type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) reported to have excess blue emission at early times. This paper presents extensive $BVRIYJHK_…
The Red Supergiant Binary Fraction of the Large Magellanic Cloud
Kathryn F. Neugent, Emily M. Levesque, Philip Massey +2
The binary fraction of unevolved massive stars is thought to be 70-100% but there are few observational constraints on the binary fraction of the evolved version of a subset of the…
The Carnegie Supernova Project II. Observations of SN 2014ab possibly revealing a 2010jl-like SN IIn with pre-existing dust
T. J. Moriya, M. D. Stritzinger, F. Taddia +18
We present optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of the Type IIn supernova (SN) 2014ab, obtained by the Carnegie Supernova Project II (CSP-II) and initiated immedia…
A Survey for C II Emission-Line Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Bruce Margon, Philip Massey, Kathryn F. Neugent +1
We present a narrow-band imaging survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud, designed to isolate the C II 7231, 7236 emission lines in objects as faint as . Th…
The Carnegie Supernova Project-I: Correlation Between Type Ia Supernovae and Their Host Galaxies from Optical to Near-Infrared Bands
Syed A. Uddin, Christopher R. Burns, M. M. Phillips +13
We present optical and near-infrared () photometry of host galaxies of Type Ia supernovae (SN~Ia) observed by the \textit{Carnegie Supernova Project-I}. We determine host…
The Carnegie Supernova Project II. Observations of the intermediate luminosity red transient SNhunt120
M. D. Stritzinger, F. Taddia, M. Fraser +23
We present multi-wavelength observations of two gap transients followed by the Carnegie Supernova Project-II and supplemented with data obtained by a number of different programs.…
SN 2013aa and SN 2017cbv: Two Sibling Type Ia Supernovae in the spiral galaxy NGC 5643
Christopher R Burns, Chris Ashall, Carlos Contreras +26
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2013aa and SN 2017cbv, two nearly identical type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in the host galaxy NGC 5643. The optical photome…
Carnegie Supernova Project-II: A new method to photometrically identify sub-types of extreme Type Ia Supernovae
C. Ashall, J. Lu, C. Burns +16
We present a new method to photometrically delineate between various sub-types of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). Using the color-stretch parameters, or , and the tim…
The Rise and Fall of ASASSN-18pg: Following a TDE from Early To Late Times
Thomas W. -S. Holoien, Katie Auchettl, Michael A. Tucker +29
We present nearly 500 days of observations of the tidal disruption event ASASSN-18pg, spanning from 54 days before peak light to 441 days after peak light. Our dataset includes X-r…
A search for strong magnetic fields in massive and very massive stars in the Magellanic Clouds
S. Bagnulo, G. A. Wade, Y. Naze +13
Despite their rarity, massive stars dominate the ecology of galaxies via their strong, radiatively-driven winds throughout their lives and as supernovae in their deaths. However, t…
