The Shape of Cas A
J. Craig Wheeler, Justyn R. Maund, Sean M. Couch
Based on optical, IR and X-ray studies of Cas A, we propose a geometry for the remnant based on a "jet-induced" scenario with significant systematic departures from axial symmetry.…
Spectropolarimetry of the Type IIb Supernova 2001ig
J. R. Maund, J. C. Wheeler, F. Patat +3
We present spectropolarimetric observations of the Type IIb SN 2001ig in NGC 7424; conducted with the ESO VLT FORS1 on 2001 Dec 16, 2002 Jan 3 and 2002 Aug 16 or 13, 31 and 256 day…
The birth place of the type Ic Supernova 2007gr
R. Mark Crockett, Justyn R. Maund, Stephen J. Smartt +8
We report our attempts to locate the progenitor of the peculiar type Ic SN 2007gr in HST pre-explosion images of the host galaxy, NGC 1058. Aligning adaptive optics Altair/NIRI ima…
Spectropolarimetry of SN 2006aj at 9.6 days
J. R. Maund, J. C. Wheeler, F. Patat +3
The observational technique of spectropolarimetry has been used to directly measure the asymmetries of Supernovae (SNe), Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and X-Ray Flashes (XRFs). We wish t…
A deeper search for the progenitor of the Type Ic Supernova 2002ap
R. M. Crockett, S. J. Smartt, J. J. Eldridge +6
(Abridged) We present a search for the progenitor star of the Type Ic Supernova 2002ap in deep, high quality pre-explosion observations taken with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescop…
Spectropolarimetry of the Type Ib/c SN 2005bf
J. R. Maund, J. C. Wheeler, F. Patat +3
We present spectropolarimetric observations of the peculiar Type Ib/c SN 2005bf, in MCG+00-27-005, from 3600-8550Å. The SN was observed on 2005 April 30.9, 18 days after the first…
