A metric space for type Ia supernova spectra: a new method to assess explosion scenarios
Michele Sasdelli, W. Hillebrandt, M. Kromer +4
Over the past years type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have become a major tool to determine the expansion history of the Universe, and considerable attention has been given to, both, obs…
Predicting polarization signatures for double-detonation and delayed-detonation models of Type Ia supernovae
M. Bulla, S. A. Sim, M. Kromer +8
Calculations of synthetic spectropolarimetry are one means to test multi-dimensional explosion models for Type Ia supernovae. In a recent paper, we demonstrated that the violent me…
A search for an optical counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW151226
S. J. Smartt, K. C. Chambers, K. W. Smith +37
We present a search for an electromagnetic counterpart of the gravitational wave source GW151226. Using the Pan-STARRS1 telescope we mapped out 290 square degrees in the optical i_…
The peculiar Type Ia supernova iPTF14atg: Chandrasekhar-mass explosion or violent merger?
M. Kromer, C. Fremling, R. Pakmor +11
iPTF14atg, a subluminous peculiar Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) similar to SN 2002es, is the first SN Ia for which a strong UV flash was observed in the early-time light curves. This h…
The type Iax supernova, SN 2015H: a white dwarf deflagration candidate
M. R. Magee, R. Kotak, S. A. Sim +22
We present results based on observations of SN 2015H which belongs to the small group of objects similar to SN 2002cx, otherwise known as type Iax supernovae. The availability of d…
