Investigating the properties of stripped-envelope supernovae, what are the implications for their progenitors?
S. J. Prentice, C. Ashall, P. A. James +41
We present observations and analysis of 18 stripped-envelope supernovae observed during 2013 -- 2018. This sample consists of 5 H/He-rich SNe, 6 H-poor/He-rich SNe, 3 narrow lined…
The Cow: discovery of a luminous, hot and rapidly evolving transient
S. J. Prentice, K. Maguire, S. J. Smartt +27
We present the ATLAS discovery and initial analysis of the first 18 days of the unusual transient event, ATLAS18qqn/AT2018cow. It is characterized by a high peak luminosity (…
SN 2017ens: The Metamorphosis of a Luminous Broad-lined Type Ic Supernova into an SN IIn
T. -W. Chen, C. Inserra, M. Fraser +46
We present observations of supernova (SN) 2017ens, discovered by the ATLAS survey and identified as a hot blue object through the GREAT program. The redshift z=0.1086 implies a pea…
Testing the magnetar scenario for superluminous supernovae with circular polarimetry
Aleksandar Cikota, Giorgos Leloudas, Mattia Bulla +15
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are at least 5 times more luminous than common supernovae (SNe). Especially hydrogen-poor SLSN-I are difficult to explain with conventional p…
