Spectropolarimetry of the Type Ia SN 2007sr Two Months After Maximum Light
P. Zelaya, J. R. Quinn, D. Baade +6
We present late time spectropolarimetric observations of SN 2007sr, obtained with the VLT telescope at ESO Paranal Observatory when the object was 63 days after maximum light. The…
The Dwarf Starburst Host Galaxy of a Type Ia SN at z = 1.55 from CANDELS
Teddy F. Frederiksen, Jens Hjorth, Justyn R. Maund +4
We present VLT/X-shooter observations of a high redshift, type Ia supernova host galaxy, discovered with HST/WFC3 as part of the CANDELS Supernova project. The galaxy exhibits stro…
The Long-Lived UV "Plateau" of SN 2012aw
Amanda J. Bayless, Tyler Pritchard, Peter W. A. Roming +9
Observations with the Swift UVOT have unambiguously uncovered for the first time a long-lived, UV "plateau" in a Type II-P supernova (SN). Although this flattening in slope is hint…
VLT Spectropolarimetry of the Type Ia SN2005ke - A step towards understanding subluminous events
F. Patat, P. Hoeflich, D. Baade +3
We performed optical spectropolarimetric observations of the subluminous Type Ia SN2005ke at 3 epochs (days -8, -7, and +76). The explosion properties are derived by comparing the…
Red and dead: The progenitor of SN 2012aw in M95
M. Fraser, J. R. Maund, S. J. Smartt +17
Core-collapse supernovae (SNe) are the spectacular finale to massive stellar evolution. In this Letter, we identify a progenitor for the nearby core-collapse SN 2012aw in both grou…
