NOMAI : A real-time photometric classifier for superluminous supernovae identification. A science module for the Fink broker
E. Russeil, R. Lunnan, J. Peloton +10
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are one of the most luminous stellar explosions known, yet they remain poorly understood. Because they are intrinsically rare, efficiently identify…
Eruptive mass loss less than a year before the explosion of superluminous supernovae. II. A systematic search for pre-explosion eruptions with VLT/X-shooter
A. Gkini, C. Fransson, R. Lunnan +22
We present X-shooter observations of a sample of 21 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I), spanning a redshift range of z=0.13-0.95, aimed at searching for shells of cir…
Sample of hydrogen-rich superluminous supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility
P. J. Pessi, R. Lunnan, J. Sollerman +26
Hydrogen-rich superluminous supernovae (SLSNe II) are rare. The exact mechanism producing their extreme light curve peaks is not understood. Analysis of single events and small sam…
Eruptive mass loss less than a year before the explosion of superluminous supernovae: I. The cases of SN 2020xga and SN 2022xgc
A. Gkini, C. Fransson, R. Lunnan +47
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2020xga and SN 2022xgc, two hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) at and , respectiv…
