The host galaxy of the super-luminous SN 2010gx and limits on explosive nickel-56 production
Ting-Wan Chen, Stephen J. Smartt, Fabio Bresolin +6
Super-luminous supernovae have a tendency to occur in faint host galaxies which are likely to have low mass and low metallicity. While these extremely luminous explosions have been…
Moderately Luminous type II Supernovae
C. Inserra, A. Pastorello, M. Turatto +10
Core-collapse Supernovae (CC-SNe) descend from progenitors more massive than about 8 Msun. Because of the young age of the progenitors, the ejecta may eventually interact with the…
Supernova 2008J: early time observations of a heavily reddened SN 2002ic-like transient
F. Taddia, M. D. Stritzinger, M. M. Phillips +19
We provide additional observational evidence that some Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) show signatures of circumstellar interaction (CSI) with hydrogen-rich material. Early phase optic…
Red and dead: The progenitor of SN 2012aw in M95
M. Fraser, J. R. Maund, S. J. Smartt +17
Core-collapse supernovae (SNe) are the spectacular finale to massive stellar evolution. In this Letter, we identify a progenitor for the nearby core-collapse SN 2012aw in both grou…
A spectroscopically normal type Ic supernova from a very massive progenitor
Stefano Valenti, Stefan Taubenberger, Andrea Pastorello +17
We present observations of the Type Ic supernova (SN Ic) 2011bm spanning a period of about one year. The data establish that SN 2011bm is a spectroscopically normal SN Ic with mode…
