Rapidly evolving transients in the Dark Energy Survey
M. Pursiainen, M. Childress, M. Smith +79
We present the results of a search for rapidly evolving transients in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Programme. These events are characterized by fast light curve evolution (rise…
Studying the Ultraviolet Spectrum of the First Spectroscopically Confirmed Supernova at redshift two
M. Smith, M. Sullivan, R. C. Nichol +87
We present observations of DES16C2nm, the first spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-free superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at redshift z~2. DES16C2nm was discovered by the Dark Ene…
A statistical approach to identify superluminous supernovae and probe their diversity
C. Inserra, S. Prajs, C. P. Gutierrez +3
We investigate the identification of hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe I) using a photometric analysis, without including an arbitrary magnitude threshold. We assemble…
The Volumetric Rate of Superluminous Supernovae at z~1
S. Prajs, M. Sullivan, M. Smith +12
We present a measurement of the volumetric rate of superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) at z~1, measured using archival data from the first four years of the Canada-France-Hawaii Teles…
On the nature of Hydrogen-rich Superluminous Supernovae
C. Inserra, S. J. Smartt, E. E. E. Gall +33
We present two hydrogen-rich superluminous supernovae (SLSNe), namely SN2013hx and PS15br. These objects, together with SN2008es are the only SLSNe showing a distinct, broad Halpha…
