Early Multiwavelength Observations of AT 2026fgk: The Luminous Afterglow to Sub-luminous GRB 260310A, Identified Independently of a Gamma-ray Trigger
K. -R. Hinds, A. Y. Q. Ho, Y. Wagh +103
The origins of sub-luminous (\,erg\,s) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) associated with broad-lined Type~Ic supernovae (Ic-BL SNe) are poorly u…
Probing a new subclass of llGRB-SN transients: Insights from EP250304a and its associated supernova
L. Cotter, A. Martin-Carrillo, R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris +62
With the advent of the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, we are entering a new era in the study of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), enabling the detection of faint, low-luminosity transients th…
SNe 2013K and 2013am: observed and physical properties of two slow, normal Type IIP events
L. Tomasella, E. Cappellaro, M. L. Pumo +28
We present one year of optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of the Type IIP SNe 2013K and 2013am. Both objects are affected by significant extinction, due to their…
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…
The Foundation Supernova Survey: Motivation, Design, Implementation, and First Data Release
Ryan J. Foley, Daniel Scolnic, Armin Rest +25
The Foundation Supernova Survey aims to provide a large, high-fidelity, homogeneous, and precisely-calibrated low-redshift Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) sample for cosmology. The calib…
On the nature of Hydrogen-rich Superluminous Supernovae
C. Inserra, S. J. Smartt, E. E. E. Gall +33
We present two hydrogen-rich superluminous supernovae (SLSNe), namely SN2013hx and PS15br. These objects, together with SN2008es are the only SLSNe showing a distinct, broad Halpha…
Rapidly-Evolving and Luminous Transients from Pan-STARRS1
M. R. Drout, R. Chornock, A. M. Soderberg +33
In the past decade, several rapidly-evolving transients have been discovered whose timescales and luminosities are not easily explained by traditional supernovae (SN) models. The s…
Hydrogen-Poor Superluminous Supernovae and Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts Have Similar Host Galaxies
R. Lunnan, R. Chornock, E. Berger +27
We present optical spectroscopy and optical/near-IR photometry of 31 host galaxies of hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe), including 15 events from the Pan-STARRS1 Mediu…
Slowly fading super-luminous supernovae that are not pair-instability explosions
M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt, A. Jerkstrand +57
Super-luminous supernovae that radiate more than 10^44 ergs per second at their peak luminosity have recently been discovered in faint galaxies at redshifts of 0.1-4. Some evolve s…
PS1-10afx at z=1.388: Pan-STARRS1 Discovery of a New Type of Superluminous Supernova
Ryan Chornock, E. Berger, A. Rest +32
We present the Pan-STARRS1 discovery of PS1-10afx, a unique hydrogen-deficient superluminous supernova (SLSN) at z=1.388. The light curve peaked at z_P1=21.7 mag, making PS1-10afx…
Spectroscopic Observations of SN 2012fr: A Luminous Normal Type Ia Supernova with Early High Velocity Features and Late Velocity Plateau
M. J. Childress, R. A. Scalzo, S. A. Sim +55
We present 65 optical spectra of the Type Ia supernova SN 2012fr, of which 33 were obtained before maximum light. At early times SN 2012fr shows clear evidence of a high-velocity f…
The Unusually Luminous Extragalactic Nova SN 2010U
Ian Czekala, E. Berger, R. Chornock +10
We present observations of the unusual optical transient SN 2010U, including spectra taken 1.03 days to 15.3 days after maximum light that identify it as a fast and luminous Fe II…
Interacting Supernovae and Supernova Impostors. SN 2009ip, is this the end?
A. Pastorello, E. Cappellaro, C. Inserra +41
We report the results of a 3 year-long dedicated monitoring campaign of a restless Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) in NGC 7259. The object, named SN 2009ip, was observed photometrical…
Ultra-Luminous Supernovae as a New Probe of the Interstellar Medium in Distant Galaxies
