The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Key Results

Yue Shen, Catherine J. Grier, Keith Horne +44

We present the final data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping (SDSS-RM) project, a precursor to the SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper Reverberation Mapping program. This…

Multi-Epoch Spectropolarimetry for a Sample of Type IIn Supernovae: Persistent Asymmetry in Dusty Circumstellar Material

Christopher Bilinski, Nathan Smith, G. Grant Williams +5

We present multi-epoch spectropolarimetry and spectra for a sample of 14 Type IIn supernovae (SNe IIn). We find that after correcting for likely interstellar polarization, SNe IIn…

Record-breaking polarization from the interacting superluminous supernova 2017hcc

Jon C. Mauerhan, Nathan Smith, G. Grant Williams +12

We present multiepoch spectropolarimetry of the superluminous interacting Type IIn supernova SN2017hcc, covering 16 to 391 days after explosion. In our first epoch we measure conti…

A High-Velocity Scatterer Revealed in the Thinning Ejecta of a Type II Supernova

Douglas C. Leonard, Luc Dessart, D. John Hillier +7

We present deep, nebular-phase spectropolarimetry of the Type II-P/L SN 2013ej, obtained 167 days after explosion with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. The…

Mrk 1239: a Type-2 Counterpart of Narrow-line Seyfert-1?

Xiang Pan, Hongyan Zhou, Chenwei Yang +10

We present new spectrophotometric and spectropolarimetric observations of Mrk 1239, one of the 8 prototypes that defines type-1 narrow-line Seyfert galaxies (NLS1s). Unlike the oth…

The electron-capture origin of supernova 2018zd

Daichi Hiramatsu, D. Andrew Howell, Schuyler D. Van Dyk +27

In the transitional mass range ( 8-10 solar masses) between white dwarf formation and iron core-collapse supernovae, stars are expected to produce an electron-capture superno…
