On the progenitor and early evolution of the type II supernova 2009kr
M. Fraser, K. Takats, A. Pastorello +13
We report the identification of a source coincident with SN 2009kr in HST pre-explosion images. The object appears to be a single point source with an intrinsic colour V-I = 1.1 an…
On the nature of the progenitors of three type II-P supernovae: 2004et, 2006my and 2006ov
R. M. Crockett, S. J. Smartt, A. Pastorello +4
The pre-explosion observations of the type II-P supernovae 2006my, 2006ov and 2004et, are re-analysed. In the cases of supernovae 2006my and 2006ov we argue that the published cand…
VLT Spectropolarimetry of the fast expanding Type Ia SN2006X
F. Patat, D. Baade, P. Hoeflich +3
Using VLT-FORS1 we performed optical spectropolarimetric observations of the Type Ia SN2006X on 7 pre-maximum epochs (day -10 to day -1) and one post-maximum epoch (+39 days). The…
The Early Asymmetries of Supernova 2008D / XRF 080109
J. R. Maund, J. C. Wheeler, D. Baade +4
Spectropolarimetry of the Type Ib SN 2008D, associated with the XRF 080109, at two separate epochs, are presented. The epochs of these observations correspond to V-band light curve…
VLT Spectropolarimetry of the optical transient in NGC300. Evidence for asymmetry in the circumstellar dust
F. Patat, J. R. Maund, S. Benetti +4
AIMS: The main goal of this work is to study possible signs of asymmetry in the bright optical transient in NGC300, with the aim of getting independent information on the explosion…
The normal Type Ia SN 2003hv out to very late phases
G. Leloudas, M. D. Stritzinger, J. Sollerman +19
An extensive dataset for SN 2003hv that covers the flux evolution from maximum light to day +786 is presented. The data are combined with published nebular-phase infrared spectra,…
