VSTPOL: making the VST a large survey telescope for optical polarimetry
P. Schipani, S. Covino, F. Snik +30
Since the start of operations in 2011, the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) has been one of the most efficient wide-field imagers in the optical bands. However, in the next years the Ver…
The Lunar Gravitational-wave Antenna: Mission Studies and Science Case
Parameswaran Ajith, Pau Amaro Seoane, Manuel Arca Sedda +83
The Lunar Gravitational-wave Antenna (LGWA) is a proposed array of next-generation inertial sensors to monitor the response of the Moon to gravitational waves (GWs). Given the size…
Properties of extragalactic dust inferred from linear polarimetry of Type Ia Supernovae
F. Patat, S. Taubenberger, N. L. J. Cox +9
Aims: The aim of this paper is twofold: 1) to investigate the properties of extragalactic dust and compare them to what is seen in the Galaxy; 2) to address in an independent way t…
The Optical SN 2012bz Associated with the Long GRB 120422A
A. Melandri, E. Pian, P. Ferrero +34
The association of Type Ic SNe with long-duration GRBs is well established. We endeavor, through accurate ground-based observational campaigns, to characterize these SNe at increas…
Multi-epoch high-resolution spectroscopy of SN2011fe - Linking the progenitor to its environment
F. Patat, M. A. Cordiner, N. L. J. Cox +10
This study attempts to establish a link between the reasonably well known nature of the progenitor of SN2011fe and its surrounding environment. This is done with the aim of enablin…
SN 2009E: a faint clone of SN 1987A
A. Pastorello, M. L. Pumo, H. Navasardyan +26
In this paper we investigate the properties of SN 2009E, which exploded in a relatively nearby spiral galaxy (NGC 4141) and that is probably the faintest 1987A-like supernova disco…
