Spectroscopy of High-Redshift Supernovae from the ESSENCE Project: The First Four Years

R. J. Foley, T. Matheson, S. Blondin +23

We present the results of spectroscopic observations from the ESSENCE high-redshift supernova (SN) survey during its first four years of operation. This sample includes spectra of…

From Shock Breakout to Peak and Beyond: Extensive Panchromatic Observations of the Type Ib Supernova 2008D associated with Swift X-ray Transient 080109

Maryam Modjaz, W. Li, N. Butler +38

We present extensive early photometric (ultraviolet through near-infrared) and spectroscopic (optical and near-infrared) data on supernova (SN) 2008D as well as X-ray data analysis…

Late-Time HST Photometry of SN 1994I: Hints of Positron Annihilation Energy Deposition

Alejandro Clocchiatti, J. Craig Wheeler, Robert P. Kirshner +12

We present multicolor Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFPC2 broadband observations of the Type Ic SN 1994I obtained approximately 280 days after maximum light. We measure the brightne…

Double-peaked Oxygen Lines Are not Rare in Nebular Spectra of Core-Collapse Supernovae

Maryam Modjaz, R. P. Kirshner, S. Blondin +2

Double-peaked oxygen lines in the nebular spectra of two peculiar Type Ib/c Supernovae (SN Ib/c) have been interpreted as off-axis views of a GRB-jet or unipolar blob ejections. He…

Measured Metallicities at the Sites of Nearby Broad-Lined Type Ic Supernovae and Implications for the SN-GRB Connection

M. Modjaz, L. Kewley, R. P. Kirshner +6

We compare the chemical abundances at the sites of 12 nearby (z <0.14) Type Ic supernovae (SN Ic) that showed broad lines, but had no observed Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB), with the chemi…

Lightcurves of Type Ia Supernovae from Near the Time of Explosion

Arti Garg, Christopher W. Stubbs, Peter Challis +18

We present a set of 11 type Ia supernova (SN Ia) lightcurves with dense, pre-maximum sampling. These supernovae (SNe), in galaxies behind the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), were dis…
