The transitional Type Ibn/IIn SN 2022pda, with pre-explosion outbursts and a double-peaked light curve

Y. -Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, R. Chiba +65

We report the results of a photometric and spectroscopic follow-up campaign of the unusual interacting supernova (SN) 2022pda. Precursor variability lasting days is obse…

Early interaction signatures and an extended plateau phase in Type II SN 2020aze

B. Ailawadhi, R. Dastidar, K. Misra +27

We present a photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the fast-declining Type II SN 2020aze, observed in optical bands from 2.2 to 137.4 days after explosion. The V-band light cur…

Searching for precursor activity of Type IIn Supernovae

A. Reguitti, G. Pignata, A. Pastorello +4

We conducted a search for luminous outbursts prior to the explosion of Type IIn Supernovae (SNe IIn). We built a sample of 27 objects spectroscopically classified as SNe IIn, all l…

Ultraviolet Diversity of Type Ia Supernovae

Ryan J. Foley, Yen-Chen Pan, P. Brown +9

Ultraviolet (UV) observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) probe the outermost layers of the explosion, and UV spectra of SNe Ia are expected to be extremely sensitive to differe…

Light Curves of 213 Type Ia Supernovae from the ESSENCE Survey

Gautham Narayan, Armin Rest, Brad E. Tucker +34

The ESSENCE survey discovered 213 Type Ia supernovae at redshifts 0.1 < z < 0.81 between 2002 and 2008. We present their R and I-band photometry, measured from images obtained usin…

Pushing the Boundaries of Conventional Core-Collapse Supernovae: The Extremely Energetic Supernova SN 2003ma

A. Rest, R. J. Foley, S. Gezari +34

We report the discovery of a supernova (SN) with the highest apparent energy output to date and conclude that it represents an extreme example of the Type IIn subclass. The SN, whi…
