The Type IIb Supernova 2013df and Its Cool Supergiant Progenitor
Schuyler D. Van Dyk, WeiKang Zheng, Ori D. Fox +10
We have obtained early-time photometry and spectroscopy of Supernova (SN) 2013df in NGC 4414. The SN is clearly of Type IIb, with notable similarities to SN 1993J. From its luminos…
Discovery of a Cosmological, Relativistic Outburst via its Rapidly Fading Optical Emission
S. Bradley Cenko, S. R. Kulkarni, Assaf Horesh +26
We report the discovery by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) of the transient source PTF11agg, which is distinguished by three primary characteristics: (1) bright, rapidly fading…
Type Ia Supernovae Strongly Interacting with Their Circumstellar Medium
Jeffrey M. Silverman, Peter E. Nugent, Avishay Gal-Yam +31
Owing to their utility for measurements of cosmic acceleration, Type Ia supernovae (SNe) are perhaps the best-studied class of SNe, yet the progenitor systems of these explosions l…
