A Golden Standard Type Ia Supernova SN 2005cf: Observations from the Ultraviolet to the Near-Infrared Wavebands

Xiaofeng Wang, Weidong Li, Alexei V. Filippenko +31

We present extensive photometry at ultraviolet (UV), optical, and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, as well as dense sampling of optical spectra, for the normal type Ia supernova (S…

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…

Improved Standardization of Type II-P Supernovae: Application to an Expanded Sample

Dovi Poznanski, Nathaniel Butler, Alexei V. Filippenko +16

In the epoch of precise and accurate cosmology, cross-confirmation using a variety of cosmographic methods is paramount to circumvent systematic uncertainties. Owing to progenitor…

The Exceptionally Luminous Type II-L SN 2008es

A. A. Miller, R. Chornock, D. A. Perley +11

We report on our early photometric and spectroscopic observations of the extremely luminous Type II supernova (SN) 2008es. With an observed peak optical magnitude of m_V = 17.8 and…

Coronal lines and dust formation in SN 2005ip: Not the brightest, but the hottest Type IIn supernova

Nathan Smith, Jeffrey M. Silverman, Ryan Chornock +7

We present optical photometry and spectroscopy of SN2005ip for the first 3yr after discovery, showing an underlying Type II-L SN interacting with a steady wind to yield an unusual…
