PISCO: The Pmas/ppak Integral-field Supernova hosts COmpilation

L. Galbany, J. P. Anderson, S. F. Sánchez +16

We present the Pmas/ppak Integral-field Supernova hosts COmpilation (PISCO) which comprises Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) of 232 supernova (SN) host galaxies, that hosted 272 S…

Discovery of distant RR Lyrae stars in the Milky Way using DECam

Gustavo Medina, Ricardo Muñoz, Katherina Vivas +9

We report the discovery of distant RR Lyrae stars, including the most distant known in the Milky Way, using data taken in the band with the Dark Energy Camera as part of the Hi…

Serendipitous discovery of RR Lyrae stars in the Leo V ultra-faint galaxy

Gustavo E. Medina, Ricardo R. Muñoz, A. Katherina Vivas +9

During the analysis of RR Lyrae stars discovered in the High cadence Transient Survey (HiTS) taken with the Dark Energy Camera at the 4-m telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American O…

DES15E2mlf: A Spectroscopically Confirmed Superluminous Supernova that Exploded 3.5 Gyr After the Big Bang

Y. -C. Pan, R. J. Foley, M. Smith +63

We present the Dark Energy Survey (DES) discovery of DES15E2mlf, the most distant superluminous supernova (SLSN) spectroscopically confirmed to date. The light curves and Gemini sp…

Molecular gas at supernova local environments unveiled by EDGE

L. Galbany, L. Mora, S. González-Gaitán +13

CO observations allow estimations of the gas content of molecular clouds, which trace the reservoir of cold gas fuelling star formation, as well as to determine extinction via H$_2…

Characterising the environments of supernovae with MUSE

L. Galbany, J. P. Anderson, F. F Rosales-Ortega +10

We present a statistical analysis of the environments of 11 supernovae (SNe) which occurred in 6 nearby galaxies (z 0.016). All galaxies were observed with MUSE, the hig…

On the environments of type Ia supernovae within host galaxies

J. P. Anderson, P. A. James, F. Förster +4

We present constraints on supernovae type Ia (SNe~Ia) progenitors through an analysis of the environments found at the explosion sites of 102 events within star-forming host galaxi…

The Rise-Time of Normal and Subluminous Type Ia Supernovae

S. Gonzalez-Gaitan, A. Conley, F. B. Bianco +21

We calculate the average stretch-corrected rise-time of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in the Supernova Legacy Survey. We use the aggregate lightcurves of spectroscopic and photometri…
