Studying the Ultraviolet Spectrum of the First Spectroscopically Confirmed Supernova at redshift two
M. Smith, M. Sullivan, R. C. Nichol +87
We present observations of DES16C2nm, the first spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-free superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at redshift z~2. DES16C2nm was discovered by the Dark Ene…
A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source
S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118
Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…
Type II supernova spectral diversity II: Spectroscopic and photometric correlations
Claudia P. Gutiérrez, Joseph P. Anderson, Mario Hamuy +7
We present an analysis of observed trends and correlations between a large range of spectral and photometric parameters of more than 100 type II supernovae (SNe~II), during the pho…
Type II supernova spectral diversity I: Observations, sample characterization and spectral line evolution
Claudia P. Gutiérrez, Joseph P. Anderson, Mario Hamuy +23
We present 888 visual-wavelength spectra of 122 nearby type II supernovae (SNe II) obtained between 1986 and 2009, and ranging between 3 and 363 days post explosion. In this first…
SN 2016jhj at redshift 0.34: extending the Type II supernova Hubble diagram using the standard candle method
T. de Jaeger, L. Galbany, A. V. Filippenko +16
Although Type Ia supernova cosmology has now reached a mature state, it is important to develop as many independent methods as possible to understand the true nature of dark energy…
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…
