A young stellar environment for the superluminous supernova PTF12dam
C. C. Thöne, A. de Ugarte Postigo, R. García-Benito +3
The progenitors of super luminous supernovae (SLSNe) are still a mystery. Hydrogen-poor SLSN hosts are often highly star-forming dwarf galaxies and the majority belongs to the clas…
The mysterious optical afterglow spectrum of GRB140506A at z=0.889
J. P. U. Fynbo, T. Krühler, K. Leighly +40
Context. Gamma-ray burst (GRBs) afterglows probe sightlines to star-forming regions in distant star-forming galaxies. Here we present a study of the peculiar afterglow spectrum of…
Spectroscopy of superluminous supernova host galaxies. A preference of hydrogen-poor events for extreme emission line galaxies
G. Leloudas, S. Schulze, T. Kruehler +16
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are very bright explosions that were only discovered recently and that show a preference for occurring in faint dwarf galaxies. Understanding why s…
A Trio of GRB-SNe: GRB 120729A, GRB 130215A / SN 2013ez and GRB 130831A / SN 2013fu
Z. Cano, A. de Ugarte Postigo, A. Pozanenko +62
We present optical and near-infrared (NIR) photometry for three gamma-ray burst supernovae (GRB-SNe): GRB 120729A, GRB 130215A / SN 2013ez and GRB 130831A / SN 2013fu. In the case…
