SN 2017dio: a type-Ic supernova exploding in a hydrogen-rich circumstellar medium
Hanindyo Kuncarayakti, Keiichi Maeda, Christopher J. Ashall +42
SN 2017dio shows both spectral characteristics of a type-Ic supernova (SN) and signs of a hydrogen-rich circumstellar medium (CSM). Prominent, narrow emission lines of H and He are…
A population of highly energetic transient events in the centres of active galaxies
E. Kankare, R. Kotak, S. Mattila +25
Recent all-sky surveys have led to the discovery of new types of transients. These include stars disrupted by the central supermassive black hole, and supernovae that are 10-100 ti…
Euclid: Superluminous supernovae in the Deep Survey
C. Inserra, R. C. Nichol, D. Scovacricchi +31
In the last decade, astronomers have found a new type of supernova called `superluminous supernovae' (SLSNe) due to their high peak luminosity and long light-curves. These hydrogen…
A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source
S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118
Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…
Measuring Dark Energy Properties with Photometrically Classified Pan-STARRS Supernovae. II. Cosmological Parameters
D. O. Jones, D. M. Scolnic, A. G. Riess +25
We use 1169 Pan-STARRS supernovae (SNe) and 195 low- () SNe Ia to measure cosmological parameters. Though most Pan-STARRS SNe lack spectroscopic classifications, in a p…
Spatially resolved MaNGA observations of the host galaxy of superluminous supernova 2017egm
Ting-Wan Chen, Patricia Schady, Lin Xiao +6
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are found predominantly in dwarf galaxies, indicating that their progenitors have a low metallicity. However, the most nearby SLSN to date, SN 2017…
