A Sample of Type II-L Supernovae

T. Faran, D. Poznanski, A. V. Filippenko +8

What are Type II-Linear supernovae (SNe II-L)? This class, which has been ill defined for decades, now receives significant attention -- both theoretically, in order to understand…

Twins for life? A comparative analysis of the Type Ia supernovae 2011fe and 2011by

Melissa L. Graham, Ryan J. Foley, Weikang Zheng +6

The nearby Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) 2011fe and 2011by had nearly identical photospheric phase optical spectra, light-curve widths, and photometric colours, but at peak brightnes…

Optical Observations of the Type Ic Supernova 2007gr in NGC 1058 and Implications for the Properties of its Progenitor

Juncheng Chen, Xiaofeng Wang, Mohan Ganeshalingam +6

We present extensive optical observations of the normal Type Ic supernova (SN) 2007gr, spanning from about one week before maximum light to more than one year thereafter. The optic…
