A Type II Supernova Hubble diagram from the CSP-I, SDSS-II, and SNLS surveys
T. de Jaeger, S. González-Gaitán, M. Hamuy +15
The coming era of large photometric wide-field surveys will increase the detection rate of supernovae by orders of magnitude. Such numbers will restrict spectroscopic follow-up in…
Rapidly Rising Transients in the Supernova - Superluminous Supernova Gap
Iair Arcavi, William M. Wolf, D. Andrew Howell +26
We present observations of four rapidly rising (t_{rise}~10d) transients with peak luminosities between those of supernovae (SNe) and superluminous SNe (M_{peak}~-20) - one discove…
Improved cosmological constraints from a joint analysis of the SDSS-II and SNLS supernova samples
M. Betoule, R. Kessler, J. Guy +60
We present cosmological constraints from a joint analysis of type Ia supernova (SN Ia) observations obtained by the SDSS-II and SNLS collaborations. The data set includes several l…
The Host Galaxies of Type Ia Supernovae Discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory
Y. -C. Pan, M. Sullivan, K. Maguire +16
We present spectroscopic observations of the host galaxies of 82 low-redshift type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). We determine star-forma…
The superluminous supernova PS1-11ap: bridging the gap between low and high redshift
M. McCrum, S. J. Smartt, R. Kotak +37
We present optical photometric and spectroscopic coverage of the superluminous supernova (SLSN) PS1-11ap, discovered with the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey at z = 0.524. This intr…
Slowly fading super-luminous supernovae that are not pair-instability explosions
M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt, A. Jerkstrand +57
Super-luminous supernovae that radiate more than 10^44 ergs per second at their peak luminosity have recently been discovered in faint galaxies at redshifts of 0.1-4. Some evolve s…
