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…
