Binary progenitor systems for Type Ic supernovae

Martín Solar, Michał J. Michałowski, Jakub Nadolny +18

Core-collapse supernovae are explosions of massive stars at the end of their evolution. They are responsible for metal production and for halting star formation, having a significa…

Type Ic supernovae from the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory

C. Barbarino, J. Sollerman, F. Taddia +8

Type Ic supernovae represent the explosions of the most stripped massive stars, but their progenitors and explosion mechanisms remain unclear. Larger samples of observed supernovae…

Helium-rich Superluminous Supernovae From the Zwicky Transient Facility

Lin Yan, D. Perley, S. Schulze +39

Helium is expected to be present in the ejecta of some hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSN-I). However, so far only one event, PTF10hgi has been identified with He feature…

The Carnegie Supernova Project II. The shock wave revealed through the fog: The strongly interacting Type IIn SN 2013L

F. Taddia, M. D. Stritzinger, C. Fransson +21

We present ultra-violet to mid-infrared observations of the long-lasting Type IIn supernova (SN) 2013L obtained by the Carnegie Supernova Project II (CSP-II). The spectra of SN 201…

Observational constraints on the optical and near-infrared emission from the neutron star-black hole binary merger S190814bv

K. Ackley, L. Amati, C. Barbieri +151

On 2019 August 14, the LIGO and Virgo interferometers detected a high-significance event labelled S190814bv. Preliminary analysis of the GW data suggests that the event was likely…

Type IIn supernova light-curve properties measured from an untargeted survey sample

A. Nyholm, J. Sollerman, L. Tartaglia +19

We present a sample of supernovae Type IIn (SNe IIn) from the untargeted, magnitude-limited surveys of the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and its successor, the intermediate PTF (…
