Rapidly Rising Transients in the Supernova - Superluminous Supernova Gap

Iair Arcavi, William M. Wolf, D. Andrew Howell +26

We present observations of four rapidly rising (t_{rise}~10d) transients with peak luminosities between those of supernovae (SNe) and superluminous SNe (M_{peak}~-20) - one discove…

Two superluminous supernovae from the early universe discovered by the Supernova Legacy Survey

D. A. Howell, D. Kasen, C. Lidman +14

We present spectra and lightcurves of SNLS 06D4eu and SNLS 07D2bv, two hydrogen-free superluminous supernovae discovered by the Supernova Legacy Survey. At z = 1.588, SNLS 06D4eu i…

Evolution in the Volumetric Type Ia Supernova Rate from the Supernova Legacy Survey

K. Perrett, M. Sullivan, A. Conley +23

We present a measurement of the volumetric Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) rate (SNR_Ia) as a function of redshift for the first four years of data from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescop…

An Efficient Approach to Obtaining Large Numbers of Distant Supernova Host Galaxy Redshifts

C. Lidman, V. Ruhlmann-Kleider, M. Sullivan +20

We use the wide-field capabilities of the 2dF fibre positioner and the AAOmega spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) to obtain redshifts of galaxies that hosted supe…

The Rise-Time of Normal and Subluminous Type Ia Supernovae

S. Gonzalez-Gaitan, A. Conley, F. B. Bianco +21

We calculate the average stretch-corrected rise-time of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in the Supernova Legacy Survey. We use the aggregate lightcurves of spectroscopic and photometri…

Photometric selection of Type Ia supernovae in the Supernova Legacy Survey

G. Bazin, V. Ruhlmann-Kleider, N. Palanque-Delabrouille +23

We present a sample of 485 photometrically identified Type Ia supernova candidates mined from the first three years of data of the CFHT SuperNova Legacy Survey (SNLS). The images w…
