Constraints on the Progenitor of SN 2016gkg From Its Shock-Cooling Light Curve
Iair Arcavi, Griffin Hosseinzadeh, Peter J. Brown +17
SN 2016gkg is a nearby Type IIb supernova discovered shortly after explosion. Like several other Type IIb events with early-time data, SN 2016gkg displays a double-peaked light cur…
Early observations of the nearby type Ia supernova SN 2015F
R. Cartier, M. Sullivan, R. Firth +25
We present photometry and time-series spectroscopy of the nearby type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2015F over days to days relative to maximum light, obtained as part of the…
Superluminous supernova 2015bn in the nebular phase: evidence for the engine-powered explosion of a stripped massive star
M. Nicholl, E. Berger, R. Margutti +25
We present nebular-phase imaging and spectroscopy for the hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova SN 2015bn, at redshift z=0.1136, spanning +250-400 d after maximum light. The light…
The Superluminous Transient ASASSN-15lh as a Tidal Disruption Event from a Kerr Black Hole
G. Leloudas, M. Fraser, N. C. Stone +47
When a star passes within the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole, it will be torn apart. For a star with the mass of the Sun () and a non-spinning black hole with a…
Zooming In on the Progenitors of Superluminous Supernovae With the HST
R. Lunnan, R. Chornock, E. Berger +25
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) rest-frame ultraviolet imaging of the host galaxies of 16 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe), including 11 events from the Pan-S…
PESSTO : survey description and products from the first data release by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects
S. J. Smartt, S. Valenti, M. Fraser +99
The Public European Southern Observatory Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO) began as a public spectroscopic survey in April 2012. We describe the data reduction str…
