First Results from the La Silla-QUEST Supernova Survey and the Carnegie Supernova Project
E. S. Walker, C. Baltay, A. Campillay +20
The LaSilla/QUEST Variability Survey (LSQ) and the Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP II) are collaborating to discover and obtain photometric light curves for a large sample of low r…
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 very energetic, broad-lined type Ic Supernova 2010ah (PTF10bzf) in the context of GRB/SNe
Paolo A. Mazzali, Emma S. Walker, Elena Pian +4
SN2010ah, a very broad-lined type Ic SN discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory, was interesting because of its relatively high luminosity and the high velocity of the absorpti…
Hubble Space Telescope spectra of the type Ia supernova SN2011fe: a tail of low-density, high-velocity material with Z<Zsolar
Paolo Mazzali, Mark Sullivan, Stephan Hachinger +9
Hubble Space Telescope spectroscopic observations of the nearby type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN2011fe, taken on 10 epochs from -13.1 to +40.8 days relative to B-band maximum light, an…
Studying the Diversity of Type Ia Supernovae in the Ultraviolet: Comparing Models with Observations
E. S. Walker, S. Hachinger, P. A. Mazzali +4
In the ultraviolet (UV), Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) show a much larger diversity in their properties than in the optical. Using a stationary Monte-Carlo radiative transfer code, a…
Discovery and Early Multi-Wavelength Measurements of the Energetic Type Ic Supernova PTF12gzk: A Massive-Star Explosion in a Dwarf Host Galaxy
Sagi Ben-Ami, Avishay Gal-Yam, Alexei V. Filippenko +45
We present the discovery and extensive early-time observations of the Type Ic supernova (SN) PTF12gzk. Our finely sampled light curves show a rise of 0.8mag within 2.5hr. Power-law…
