SN 2020pvb: a Type IIn-P supernova with a precursor outburst
Nancy Elias-Rosa, Seán J. Brennan, Stefano Benetti +37
We present photometric and spectroscopic data sets for SN 2020pvb, a Type IIn-P supernova (SN) similar to SNe 1994W, 2005cl, 2009kn and 2011ht, with a precursor outburst detected (…
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…
Seeing double: the frequency and detectability of double-peaked superluminous supernova light curves
M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt
The discovery of double-peaked light curves in some superluminous supernovae offers an important new clue to their origins. We examine the published photometry of all Type Ic SLSNe…
On the diversity of super-luminous supernovae: ejected mass as the dominant factor
M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt, A. Jerkstrand +37
We assemble a sample of 24 hydrogen-poor super-luminous supernovae (SLSNe). Parameterizing the light curve shape through rise and decline timescales shows that the two are highly c…
PESSTO : survey description and products from the first data release by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects
S. J. Smartt, S. Valenti, M. Fraser +99
The Public European Southern Observatory Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO) began as a public spectroscopic survey in April 2012. We describe the data reduction str…
The supernova CSS121015:004244+132827: a clue for understanding super-luminous supernovae
S. Benetti, M. Nicholl, E. Cappellaro +24
We present optical photometry and spectra of the super luminous type II/IIn supernova CSS121015:004244+132827 (z=0.2868) spanning epochs from -30 days (rest frame) to more than 200…
