Abundance Stratification in Type Ia Supernovae -- VIII. The 03fg-like SN\,2012dn: a double-degenerate merger interpretation

Charles J. Aouad, Paolo A. Mazzali, Stephan Hachinger +1

A detailed study using abundance tomography of SN 2012dn, a peculiar Type Ia supernova, is presented. Despite exhibiting a normal peak luminosity, it retains early-phase super-Chan…

On the Formation of the W-shaped O II Lines in Spectra of Type I Superluminous Supernovae

Sei Saito, Masaomi Tanaka, Paolo A. Mazzali +2

H-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) are characterized by O II lines around 4,000 - 4,500 A in pre-/near-maximum spectra, so-called W-shaped O II lines. As these lines are fro…

Abundance stratification in type Ia supernovae -- VII. The peculiar, C-rich iPTF16abc: highlighting diversity among luminous events

Charles J. Aouad, Paolo A. Mazzali, Chris Ashall +2

Observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe\,Ia) reveal diversity, even within assumed subcategories. Here, the composition of the peculiar iPTF16abc (SN\,2016bln) is derived by modeli…

Abundance stratification in type Ia supernovae -- VI: the peculiar slow decliner SN\,1999aa

Charles J. Aouad, Paolo A. Mazzali, Stephan Hachinger +6

The abundance distribution in the ejecta of the peculiar slowly declining Type Ia supernova (SN\,Ia) SN\,1999aa is obtained by modelling a time series of optical spectra. Similar t…

Carnegie Supernova Project-II: Near-infrared Spectroscopy of Stripped-Envelope Core-Collapse Supernovae

M. Shahbandeh, E. Y. Hsiao, C. Ashall +29

We present 75 near-infrared (NIR; 0.82.5 m) spectra of 34 stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae (SESNe) obtained by the Carnegie Supernova Project-II (CSP-II), encompass…

Probabilistic Reconstruction of Type Ia Supernova SN 2002bo

John T. O'Brien, Wolfgang E. Kerzendorf, Andrew Fullard +8

Manual fits to spectral times series of Type Ia supernovae have provided a method of reconstructing the explosion from a parametric model but due to lack of information about model…
