Gaia16apd -- a link between fast-and slowly-declining type I superluminous supernovae
T. Kangas, N. Blagorodnova, S. Mattila +18
We present ultraviolet, optical and infrared photometry and optical spectroscopy of the type Ic superluminous supernova (SLSN) Gaia16apd (= SN 2016eay), covering its evolution from…
The evolution of superluminous supernova LSQ14mo and its interacting host galaxy system
T. -W. Chen, M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt +26
We present and analyse an extensive dataset of the superluminous supernova (SLSN) LSQ14mo (z = 0.256), consisting of a multi-colour lightcurve from -30 d to +70 d in the rest-frame…
The progenitor and early evolution of the Type IIb SN 2016gkg
L. Tartaglia, M. Fraser, D. J. Sand +24
We report initial observations and analysis on the Type IIb SN~2016gkg in the nearby galaxy NGC~613. SN~2016gkg exhibited a clear double-peaked light curve during its early evoluti…
Superluminous supernova 2015bn in the nebular phase: evidence for the engine-powered explosion of a stripped massive star
M. Nicholl, E. Berger, R. Margutti +25
We present nebular-phase imaging and spectroscopy for the hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova SN 2015bn, at redshift z=0.1136, spanning +250-400 d after maximum light. The light…
The Superluminous Transient ASASSN-15lh as a Tidal Disruption Event from a Kerr Black Hole
G. Leloudas, M. Fraser, N. C. Stone +47
When a star passes within the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole, it will be torn apart. For a star with the mass of the Sun () and a non-spinning black hole with a…
Core-collapse supernova progenitor constraints using the spatial distributions of massive stars in local galaxies
T. Kangas, L. Portinari, S. Mattila +7
We study the spatial correlations between the H emission and different types of massive stars in two local galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Messier 33. We compare…
