Two New Calcium-Rich Gap Transients in Group and Cluster Environments
R. Lunnan, M. M. Kasliwal, Y. Cao +20
We present the Palomar Transient Factory discoveries and the photometric and spectroscopic observations of PTF11kmb and PTF12bho. We show that both transients have properties consi…
PTF12os and iPTF13bvn. Two stripped-envelope supernovae from low-mass progenitors in NGC 5806
C. Fremling, J. Sollerman, F. Taddia +19
We investigate two stripped-envelope supernovae (SNe) discovered in the nearby galaxy NGC 5806 by the (i)PTF. These SNe, designated PTF12os/SN 2012P and iPTF13bvn, exploded at a si…
On the nature of Hydrogen-rich Superluminous Supernovae
C. Inserra, S. J. Smartt, E. E. E. Gall +33
We present two hydrogen-rich superluminous supernovae (SLSNe), namely SN2013hx and PS15br. These objects, together with SN2008es are the only SLSNe showing a distinct, broad Halpha…
Interacting supernovae and supernova impostors. LSQ13zm: an outburst heralds the death of a massive star
L. Tartaglia, A. Pastorello, M. Sullivan +37
We report photometric and spectroscopic observations of the optical transient LSQ13zm. Historical data reveal the presence of an eruptive episode (that we label as `2013a') followe…
Optical and near infrared observations of SN 2014ck: an outlier among the Type Iax supernovae
L. Tomasella, E. Cappellaro, S. Benetti +18
We present a comprehensive set of optical and near-infrared photometric and spectroscopic observations for SN 2014ck, extending from pre-maximum to six months later. These data ind…
