SN 2006gy: Discovery of the most luminous supernova ever recorded, powered by the death of an extremely massive star like Eta Carinae
Nathan Smith, Weidong Li, Ryan J. Foley +8
(abridged) We report our discovery and observations of the peculiar Type IIn supernova SN2006gy in NGC1260, revealing that it reached a peak magnitude of -22, making it the most lu…
A Survey for Supernovae in Massive High-Redshift Clusters
Keren Sharon, A. Gal-Yam, D. Maoz +12
We describe our ongoing program designed to measure the SN-Ia rate in a sample of massive z=0.5-0.9 galaxy clusters. The SN-Ia rate is a poorly known observable, especially at high…
SN 2004aw: Confirming Diversity of Type Ic Supernovae
S. Taubenberger, A. Pastorello, P. A. Mazzali +24
Optical and near-infrared observations of the Type Ic supernova (SN) 2004aw are presented, obtained from day -3 to day +413 with respect to the B-band maximum. The photometric evol…
Hypernova Signatures in the Late Rebrightening of GRB 050525A
M. Della Valle, D. Malesani, J. S. Bloom +22
We report observations of GRB 050525A, for which a Gemini North spectrum shows its redshift to be z = 0.606. This is the third closest long GRB discovered by Swift. We observed its…
