SN 2015bn: a detailed multi-wavelength view of a nearby superluminous supernova
M. Nicholl, E. Berger, S. J. Smartt +42
We present observations of SN 2015bn (= PS15ae = CSS141223-113342+004332 = MLS150211-113342+004333), a Type I superluminous supernova (SLSN) at redshift . As well as bein…
Supernova 2013fc in a circumnuclear ring of a luminous infrared galaxy: the big brother of SN 1998S
T. Kangas, S. Mattila, E. Kankare +30
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2013fc, a bright type II supernova (SN) in a circumnuclear star-forming ring in the luminous infrared galaxy ESO 154-G01…
On type IIn/Ia-CSM supernovae as exemplified by SN 2012ca
C. Inserra, M. Fraser, S. J. Smartt +15
We present the complete set of ultra-violet, optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy for SN 2012ca, covering the period from 6~days prior to maximum light, until 531…
Measuring nickel masses in Type Ia supernovae using cobalt emission in nebular phase spectra
Michael J. Childress, D. John Hillier, Ivo Seitenzahl +34
The light curves of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are powered by the radioactive decay of Ni to Co at early times, and the decay of Co to Fe from ~60 days…
On the diversity of super-luminous supernovae: ejected mass as the dominant factor
M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt, A. Jerkstrand +37
We assemble a sample of 24 hydrogen-poor super-luminous supernovae (SLSNe). Parameterizing the light curve shape through rise and decline timescales shows that the two are highly c…
