SN 2008S: A Cool Super-Eddington Wind in a Supernova Impostor
Nathan Smith, Mohan Ganeshalingam, Ryan Chornock +10
We present visual-wavelength photometry and spectroscopy of supernova SN2008S. Based on the low peak luminosity for a SN of M_R = -13.9 mag, photometric and spectral evolution unli…
First Results from the Lick AGN Monitoring Project: The Mass of the Black Hole in Arp 151
Misty C. Bentz, Jonelle L. Walsh, Aaron J. Barth +24
We have recently completed a 64-night spectroscopic monitoring campaign at the Lick Observatory 3-m Shane telescope with the aim of measuring the masses of the black holes in 13 ne…
From Shock Breakout to Peak and Beyond: Extensive Panchromatic Observations of the Type Ib Supernova 2008D associated with Swift X-ray Transient 080109
Maryam Modjaz, W. Li, N. Butler +38
We present extensive early photometric (ultraviolet through near-infrared) and spectroscopic (optical and near-infrared) data on supernova (SN) 2008D as well as X-ray data analysis…
SN 2006tf: Precursor Eruptions and the Optically Thick Regime of Extremely Luminous Type IIn Supernovae
Nathan Smith, Ryan Chornock, Weidong Li +5
SN2006tf is the third most luminous SN discovered so far, after SN2005ap and SN2006gy. SN2006tf is valuable because it provides a link between two regimes: (1) luminous type IIn su…
Optical and Near-Infrared Observations of the Highly Reddened, Rapidly Expanding Type Ia Supernova 2006X in M100
Xiaofeng Wang, Weidong Li, Alexei V. Filippenko +14
We present extensive optical (UBVRI), near-infrared (JK) light curves and optical spectroscopy of the Type Ia supernova (SN) 2006X in the nearby galaxy NGC 4321 (M100). Our observa…
ESC and KAIT Observations of the Transitional Type Ia SN 2004eo
A. Pastorello, P. A. Mazzali, G. Pignata +31
We present optical and infrared observations of the unusual Type Ia supernova (SN) 2004eo. The light curves and spectra closely resemble those of the prototypical SN 1992A, and the…
