The Young, Massive, Star Cluster Sandage-96 After the Explosion of SN 2004dj in NGC 2403
J. Vinko, K. Sarneczky, Z. Balog +12
The bright Type II-plateau supernova (SN) 2004dj occurred within the young, massive stellar cluster Sandage-96 in a spiral arm of NGC 2403. New multi-wavelength observations obtain…
A Golden Standard Type Ia Supernova SN 2005cf: Observations from the Ultraviolet to the Near-Infrared Wavebands
Xiaofeng Wang, Weidong Li, Alexei V. Filippenko +31
We present extensive photometry at ultraviolet (UV), optical, and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, as well as dense sampling of optical spectra, for the normal type Ia supernova (S…
Signatures of Delayed Detonation, Asymmetry, and Electron Capture in the Mid-Infrared Spectra of Supernovae 2003hv and 2005df
Christopher L. Gerardy, W. P. S. Meikle, Rubina Kotak +10
We present the first mid-infrared (5.2-15.2 micron) spectra of Type Ia supernovae (SNe 2003hv and 2005df). The detection of Ni emission in SN 2005df 135 days after the explosion pr…
The ESSENCE Supernova Survey: Survey Optimization, Observations, and Supernova Photometry
G. Miknaitis, G. Pignata, A. Rest +33
We describe the implementation and optimization of the ESSENCE supernova survey, which we have undertaken to measure the equation of state parameter of the dark energy. We present…
Scrutinizing Exotic Cosmological Models Using ESSENCE Supernova Data Combined with Other Cosmological Probes
T. M. Davis, E. Mortsell, J. Sollerman +24
The first cosmological results from the ESSENCE supernova survey (Wood-Vasey et al. 2007) are extended to a wider range of cosmological models including dynamical dark energy and n…
SN 2006gy: Discovery of the most luminous supernova ever recorded, powered by the death of an extremely massive star like Eta Carinae
Nathan Smith, Weidong Li, Ryan J. Foley +8
(abridged) We report our discovery and observations of the peculiar Type IIn supernova SN2006gy in NGC1260, revealing that it reached a peak magnitude of -22, making it the most lu…
