Chandra X-ray Constraints on the Candidate Ca-rich Gap Transient SN 2016hnk
P. H. Sell, K. Arur, T. J. Maccarone +4
We present a Chandra observation of SN 2016hnk, a candidate Ca-rich gap transient. This observation was specifically designed to test whether or not this transient was the result o…
The early detection and follow-up of the highly obscured Type II supernova 2016ija/DLT16am
L. Tartaglia, D. J. Sand, S. Valenti +45
We present our analysis of the Type II supernova DLT16am (SN~2016ija). The object was discovered during the ongoing (DLT40) one day cadence supernova search a…
Optical emission from a kilonova following a gravitational-wave-detected neutron-star merger
Iair Arcavi, Griffin Hosseinzadeh, D. Andrew Howell +8
The merger of two neutron stars has been predicted to produce an optical-infrared transient (lasting a few days) known as a 'kilonova', powered by the radioactive decay of neutron-…
Hydrogen-rich supernovae beyond the neutrino-driven core-collapse paradigm
G. Terreran, M. L. Pumo, T. -W. Chen +41
We present our study of OGLE-2014-SN-073, one of the brightest Type II SN ever discovered, with an unusually broad lightcurve combined with high ejecta velocities. From our hydrody…
SN 2016coi/ASASSN-16fp: An example of residual helium in a type Ic supernova?
S. J. Prentice, C. Ashall, P. A. Mazzali +35
The optical observations of Ic-4 supernova (SN) 2016coi/ASASSN-16fp, from to days after explosion, are presented along with analysis of its physical properties.…
Light curves of hydrogen-poor Superluminous Supernovae from the Palomar Transient Factory
Annalisa De Cia, A. Gal-Yam, A. Rubin +24
We investigate the light-curve properties of a sample of 26 spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) in the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) surv…
