Reconciling the infrared catastrophe and observations of SN 2011fe

Claes Fransson, Anders Jerkstrand

The observational effects of the 'Infrared Catastrophe' are discussed in view of the very late observations of the Type Ia SN 2011fe. Our model spectra at 1000d take non-local radi…

Nebular spectra of pair-instability supernovae

A. Jerkstrand, S. J. Smartt, A. Heger

If very massive stars (M >~ 100 Msun) can form and avoid too strong mass loss during their evolution, they are predicted to explode as pair-instability supernovae (PISNe). One crit…

SN 2011fu: A type IIb Supernova with a luminous double-peaked light curve

A. Morales-Garoffolo, N. Elias-Rosa, M. Bersten +17

We present optical and near infrared observations of the type IIb supernova (SN) 2011fu from a few days to d after explosion. The SN presents a double-peaked light curve…

On the triple peaks of SNHunt248 in NGC 5806

E. Kankare, R. Kotak, A. Pastorello +19

We present our findings on a supernova (SN) impostor, SNHunt248, based on optical and near-IR data spanning 15 yrs before discovery, to 1 yr post-discovery. The light c…

LSQ14bdq: A Type Ic super-luminous supernova with a double-peaked light curve

M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt, A. Jerkstrand +28

We present data for LSQ14bdq, a hydrogen-poor super-luminous supernova (SLSN) discovered by the La Silla QUEST survey and classified by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Trans…

The Destruction of the Circumstellar Ring of SN 1987A

Claes Fransson, Josefin Larsson, Katia Migotto +23

We present imaging and spectroscopic observations with HST and VLT of the ring of SN 1987A from 1994 to 2014. After an almost exponential increase of the shocked emission from the…
