The Host Galaxies of Type Ia Supernovae Discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory
Y. -C. Pan, M. Sullivan, K. Maguire +16
We present spectroscopic observations of the host galaxies of 82 low-redshift type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). We determine star-forma…
The Very Young Type Ia Supernova 2013dy: Discovery, and Strong Carbon Absorption in Early-Time Spectra
WeiKang Zheng, Jeffrey M. Silverman, Alexei V. Filippenko +20
The Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2013dy in NGC 7250 (d ~ 13.7 Mpc) was discovered by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search. Combined with a prediscovery detection by the Italian Super…
Type Ia Supernovae Strongly Interacting with Their Circumstellar Medium
Jeffrey M. Silverman, Peter E. Nugent, Avishay Gal-Yam +31
Owing to their utility for measurements of cosmic acceleration, Type Ia supernovae (SNe) are perhaps the best-studied class of SNe, yet the progenitor systems of these explosions l…
Late-Time Spectral Observations of the Strongly Interacting Type Ia Supernova PTF11kx
Jeffrey M. Silverman, Peter E. Nugent, Avishay Gal-Yam +6
PTF11kx was a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) that showed time-variable absorption features, including saturated Ca II H&K lines that weakened and eventually went into emission. The stre…
