A rapidly declining transient discovered with Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam
Nozomu Tominaga, Tomoki Morokuma, Masaomi Tanaka +14
We perform a high-cadence transient survey with Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC), which we call the Subaru HSC survey Optimized for Optical Transients (SHOOT). We conduct HSC imaging…
SN 2016gsd: An unusually luminous and linear type II supernova with high velocities
T. M. Reynolds, M. Fraser, S. Mattila +27
We present observations of the unusually luminous Type II supernova (SN) 2016gsd. With a peak absolute magnitude of V = 19.95 0.08, this object is one of the brightest Typ…
The 50-100pc scale parent stellar populations of type II supernovae and limitations of single star evolution models
P. Schady, J. J. Eldridge, J. Anderson +4
There is observational evidence of a dearth in core-collapse supernova (ccSN) explosions from stars with zero age main sequence (ZAMS) mass M_0~17-30 Msol, referred to as the 'red…
SN 2017gmr: An energetic Type II-P supernova with asymmetries
Jennifer E. Andrews, D. J. Sand, S. Valenti +77
We present high-cadence ultraviolet (UV), optical, and near-infrared (NIR) data on the luminous Type II-P supernova SN 2017gmr from hours after discovery through the first 180 days…
The Evolution of Luminous Red Nova AT 2017jfs in NGC 4470
A. Pastorello, T. -W. Chen, Y. -Z. Cai +43
We present the results of our photometric and spectroscopic follow-up of the intermediate-luminosity optical transient AT 2017jfs. At peak, the object reaches an absolute magnitude…
Nebular Spectra of 111 Type Ia Supernovae Disfavor Single Degenerate Progenitors
M. A. Tucker, B. J. Shappee, P. J. Vallely +15
We place statistical constraints on Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitors using 227 nebular phase spectra of 111 SNe Ia. We find no evidence of stripped companion emission in any o…
On the nature of the unusual transient AT 2018cow from HI observations of its host galaxy
Michał J. Michałowski, P. Kamphuis, J. Hjorth +23
Unusual stellar explosions represent an opportunity to learn about both stellar and galaxy evolution. Mapping the atomic gas in host galaxies of such transients can lead to an unde…
