Investigating the properties of stripped-envelope supernovae, what are the implications for their progenitors?
S. J. Prentice, C. Ashall, P. A. James +41
We present observations and analysis of 18 stripped-envelope supernovae observed during 2013 -- 2018. This sample consists of 5 H/He-rich SNe, 6 H-poor/He-rich SNe, 3 narrow lined…
The delay of shock breakout due to circumstellar material seen in most Type II Supernovae
F. Förster, T. J. Moriya, J. C. Maureira +35
Type II supernovae (SNe) originate from the explosion of hydrogen-rich supergiant massive stars. Their first electromagnetic signature is the shock breakout, a short-lived phenomen…
PS18kh: A New Tidal Disruption Event with a Non-Axisymmetric Accretion Disk
T. W. -S. Holoien, M. E. Huber, B. J. Shappee +38
We present the discovery of PS18kh, a tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered at the center of SDSS J075654.53+341543.6 ( Mpc) by the Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients.…
AT 2017be - a new member of the class of Intermediate-Luminosity Red Transients
Y-Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, M. Fraser +20
We report the results of our spectrophotometric monitoring campaign for AT~2017be in NGC~2537. Its lightcurve reveals a fast rise to an optical maximum, followed by a plateau lasti…
Type II supernovae in low luminosity host galaxies
C. P. Gutiérrez, J. P. Anderson, M. Sullivan +29
We present an analysis of a new sample of type II core-collapse supernovae (SNe II) occurring within low-luminosity galaxies, comparing these with a sample of events in brighter ho…
A nearby superluminous supernova with a long pre-maximum 'plateau' and strong CII features
J. P. Anderson, P. J. Pessi, L. Dessart +63
Super-luminous supernovae (SLSNe) are rare events defined as being significantly more luminous than normal terminal stellar explosions. The source of the extra powering needed to a…
