Underluminous Type II Plateau Supernovae: II. Pointing towards moderate mass precursors
S. Spiro, A. Pastorello, M. L. Pumo +38
We present new data for five under-luminous type II-plateau supernovae (SNe IIP), namely SN 1999gn, SN 2002gd, SN 2003Z, SN 2004eg and SN 2006ov. This new sample of low-luminosity…
The Type IIP SN 2007od in UGC 12846: from a bright maximum to dust formation in the nebular phase
C. Inserra, M. Turatto, A. Pastorello +12
Ultraviolet (UV), optical and near infrared (NIR) observations of the type IIP supernova (SN) 2007od are presented, covering from the maximum light to the late phase, allowing to i…
SN 2009md: Another faint supernova from a low mass progenitor
M. Fraser, M. Ergon, J. J. Eldridge +21
We present adaptive optics imaging of the core collapse supernova (SN) 2009md, which we use together with archival \emph{Hubble Space Telescope} data to identify a coincident proge…
High luminosity, slow ejecta and persistent carbon lines: SN 2009dc challenges thermonuclear explosion scenarios
S. Taubenberger, S. Benetti, M. Childress +22
SN 2009dc shares similarities with normal Type Ia supernovae, but is clearly overluminous, with a (pseudo-bolometric) peak luminosity of log(L) = 43.47 [erg/s]. Its light curves de…
Evidence of Asymmetry in SN 2007rt, a Type IIn Supernova
C. Trundle, A. Pastorello, S. Benetti +12
An optical photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the slowly-evolving Type IIn SN2007rt is presented, covering a duration of 481 days after discovery. Its earliest spectrum, tak…
SN 2008S: an electron capture SN from a super-AGB progenitor?
M. T. Botticella, A. Pastorello, S. J. Smartt +31
We present comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic observations of the faint transient SN 2008S discovered in NGC 6946. SN 2008S exhibited slow photometric evolution and almost…
