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…

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…
