Properties of magnetars mimicking 56Ni-powered light curves in Type Ic superluminous supernovae
Takashi J. Moriya, Ting-Wan Chen, Norbert Langer
Many Type Ic superluminous supernovae have light-curve decline rates after their luminosity peak which are close to the nuclear decay rate of 56Co, consistent with the interpretati…

Superluminous supernova progenitors have a half-solar metallicity threshold
T. -W. Chen, S. J. Smartt, R. M. Yates +5
Host galaxy properties provide strong constraints on the stellar progenitors of superluminous supernovae. By comparing a sample of 19 low-redshift (z < 0.3) superluminous supernova…

SN 2015bn: a detailed multi-wavelength view of a nearby superluminous supernova
M. Nicholl, E. Berger, S. J. Smartt +42
We present observations of SN 2015bn (= PS15ae = CSS141223-113342+004332 = MLS150211-113342+004333), a Type I superluminous supernova (SLSN) at redshift . As well as bein…
