The Berkeley Sample of Stripped-Envelope Supernovae
Isaac Shivvers, Alexei V. Filippenko, Jeffrey M. Silverman +22
We present the complete sample of stripped-envelope supernova (SN) spectra observed by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) collaboration over the last three decades: 888 s…
Optical Observations of the Type Ic Supernova 2007gr in NGC 1058 and Implications for the Properties of its Progenitor
Juncheng Chen, Xiaofeng Wang, Mohan Ganeshalingam +6
We present extensive optical observations of the normal Type Ic supernova (SN) 2007gr, spanning from about one week before maximum light to more than one year thereafter. The optic…
Hubble Space Telescope and Ground-Based Observations of the Type Iax Supernovae SN 2005hk and SN 2008A
Curtis McCully, Saurabh W. Jha, Ryan J. Foley +24
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and ground-based optical and near-infrared observations of SN 2005hk and SN 2008A, typical members of the Type Iax class of supernovae (SNe)…
Type Ia Supernovae Strongly Interacting with Their Circumstellar Medium
Jeffrey M. Silverman, Peter E. Nugent, Avishay Gal-Yam +31
Owing to their utility for measurements of cosmic acceleration, Type Ia supernovae (SNe) are perhaps the best-studied class of SNe, yet the progenitor systems of these explosions l…
Berkeley Supernova Ia Program I: Observations, Data Reduction, and Spectroscopic Sample of 582 Low-Redshift Type Ia Supernovae
Jeffrey M. Silverman, Ryan J. Foley, Alexei V. Filippenko +37
In this first paper in a series we present 1298 low-redshift (z\leq0.2) optical spectra of 582 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed from 1989 through 2008 as part of the Berkeley S…
The Lick AGN Monitoring Project: Reverberation Mapping of Optical Hydrogen and Helium Recombination Lines
Misty C. Bentz, Jonelle L. Walsh, Aaron J. Barth +23
We have recently completed a 64-night spectroscopic monitoring campaign at the Lick Observatory 3-m Shane telescope with the aim of measuring the masses of the black holes in 12 ne…
