LSQ13ddu: A rapidly-evolving stripped-envelope supernova with early circumstellar interaction signatures

Peter Clark, Kate Maguire, Cosimo Inserra +30

This paper describes the rapidly evolving and unusual supernova LSQ13ddu, discovered by the La Silla-QUEST survey. LSQ13ddu displayed a rapid rise of just 4.80.9 d to reach a…
