The Berkeley Sample of Stripped-Envelope Supernovae
Isaac Shivvers, Alexei V. Filippenko, Jeffrey M. Silverman +22
We present the complete sample of stripped-envelope supernova (SN) spectra observed by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) collaboration over the last three decades: 888 s…
The Fast and Furious Decay of the Peculiar Type Ic Supernova 2005ek
M. R. Drout, A. M. Soderberg, P. A. Mazzali +21
We present extensive multi-wavelength observations of the extremely rapidly declining Type Ic supernova, SN 2005ek. Reaching a peak magnitude of M_R = -17.3 and decaying by ~3 mag…
Berkeley Supernova Ia Program I: Observations, Data Reduction, and Spectroscopic Sample of 582 Low-Redshift Type Ia Supernovae
Jeffrey M. Silverman, Ryan J. Foley, Alexei V. Filippenko +37
In this first paper in a series we present 1298 low-redshift (z\leq0.2) optical spectra of 582 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed from 1989 through 2008 as part of the Berkeley S…
Direct Detection of an Ultraluminous Ultraviolet Source
Philip Kaaret, Hua Feng, Diane S. Wong +1
We present Hubble Space Telescope observations in the far UV of the ultraluminous X-ray source in NGC 6946 associated with the optical nebula MF 16. Both a point-like source coinci…
Improved Standardization of Type II-P Supernovae: Application to an Expanded Sample
Dovi Poznanski, Nathaniel Butler, Alexei V. Filippenko +16
In the epoch of precise and accurate cosmology, cross-confirmation using a variety of cosmographic methods is paramount to circumvent systematic uncertainties. Owing to progenitor…
A ULX associated with a cloud collision in M99
Roberto Soria, Diane Sonya Wong
The Sc galaxy M99 in the Virgo cluster has been strongly affected by tidal interactions and recent close encounters, responsible for an asymmetric spiral pattern and a high star fo…
