Eruptive mass loss less than a year before the explosion of superluminous supernovae. II. A systematic search for pre-explosion eruptions with VLT/X-shooter
A. Gkini, C. Fransson, R. Lunnan +22
We present X-shooter observations of a sample of 21 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I), spanning a redshift range of z=0.13-0.95, aimed at searching for shells of cir…
SN 2021lwz: Another Exotic Luminous and Fast Evolving Optical Stripped Envelope Supernova ?
F. Poidevin, S. L. West, C. M. B. Omand +25
Current large-scale, high-cadence surveys, such as the ZTF, provide detections of new and rare types of transients and supernovae whose physical origins are not well understood. We…
ZTF SNe Ia DR2: Towards cosmology-grade ZTF supernova light curves using scene modeling photometry
L. Lacroix, N. Regnault, T. de Jaeger +36
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is conducting a wide-field survey of the northern sky in three optical bands and the collaboration cosmology working group has released 3628 spe…
ZTF SN Ia DR2: Improved SN Ia colors through expanded dimensionality with SALT3+
W. D. Kenworthy, A. Goobar, D. O. Jones +24
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are a key probe in modern cosmology, as they can be used to measure luminosity distances at gigaparsec scales. Models of their light-curves are used to…
ZTF SN Ia DR2: High-velocity components in the Si II 6355
L. Harvey, K. Maguire, U. Burgaz +27
The ZTF SN Ia Data Release 2 provides a perfect opportunity to perform a thorough search for, and subsequent analysis of, high-velocity components in the Si II 6355 feature in t…
OpenUniverse2024: A shared, simulated view of the sky for the next generation of cosmological surveys
OpenUniverse, The LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, The Roman HLIS Project Infrastructure Team +58
The OpenUniverse2024 simulation suite is a cross-collaboration effort to produce matched simulated imaging for multiple surveys as they would observe a common simulated sky. Both t…
