Supernova Resonance--scattering Line Profiles in the Absence of a Photosphere
Brian Friesen, E. Baron, David Branch +3
In supernova spectroscopy relatively little attention has been given to the properties of optically thick spectral lines in epochs following the photosphere's recession. Most treat…
The UV/optical spectra of the Type Ia supernova SN 2010jn: a bright supernova with outer layers rich in iron-group elements
S. Hachinger, P. A. Mazzali, M. Sullivan +19
Radiative transfer studies of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) hold the promise of constraining both the time-dependent density profile of the SN ejecta and its stratification by elemen…
PTF11kx: A Type-Ia Supernova with a Symbiotic Nova Progenitor
B. Dilday, D. A. Howell, S. B. Cenko +32
There is a consensus that Type-Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) arise from the thermonuclear explosion of white dwarf stars that accrete matter from a binary companion. However, direct obser…
Multi-Wavelength Observations of Supernova 2011ei: Time-Dependent Classification of Type IIb and Ib Supernovae and Implications for their Progenitors
D. Milisavljevic, R. Margutti, A. M. Soderberg +39
We present X-ray, UV/optical, and radio observations of the stripped-envelope, core-collapse supernova (SN) 2011ei, one of the least luminous SNe IIb or Ib observed to date. Our ob…
Analysis of the Early-Time Optical Spectra of SN 2011fe in M101
J. T. Parrent, D. A. Howell, B. Friesen +35
The nearby Type Ia supernova SN 2011fe in M101 (cz=241 km s^-1) provides a unique opportunity to study the early evolution of a "normal" Type Ia supernova, its compositional struct…
