LSQ14efd: observations of the cooling of a shock break-out event in a type Ic Supernova

C. Barbarino, M. T. Botticella, M. Dall'Ora +29

We present the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of the type Ic supernova LSQ14efd, discovered by the La Silla QUEST survey and followed by PESSTO. LSQ14efd was discovered fe…

The Volumetric Rate of Superluminous Supernovae at z~1

S. Prajs, M. Sullivan, M. Smith +12

We present a measurement of the volumetric rate of superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) at z~1, measured using archival data from the first four years of the Canada-France-Hawaii Teles…

The diversity of Type II supernova versus the similarity in their progenitors

S. Valenti, D. A. Howell, M. D. Stritzinger +19

High-quality collections of Type II supernova (SN) light curves are scarce because they evolve for hundreds of days, making follow-up observations time consuming and often extendin…

Radio observations of a sample of broad-lined type Ic supernovae discovered by PTF/iPTF: A search for relativistic explosions

A. Corsi, A. Gal-Yam, S. R. Kulkarni +15

Long duration gamma-ray bursts are a rare subclass of stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae that launch collimated relativistic outflows (jets). All gamma-ray-burst-associated…

Spectral Models for Early Time SN 2011fe Observations

E. Baron, P. Hoeflich Brian Friesen, M. Sullivan +11

We use observed UV through near IR spectra to examine whether SN 2011fe can be understood in the framework of Branch-normal SNe Ia and to examine its individual peculiarities. As a…

The Rising Light Curves of Type Ia Supernovae

R. E. Firth, M. Sullivan, A. Gal-Yam +11

We present an analysis of the early, rising light curves of 18 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and the La Silla-QUEST variability surv…
