A UV Resonance Line Echo from a Shell Around a Hydrogen-Poor Superluminous Supernova
R. Lunnan, C. Fransson, P. M. Vreeswijk +21
Hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSN-I) are a class of rare and energetic explosions discovered in untargeted transient surveys in the past decade. The progenitor stars and…
Energetic eruptions leading to a peculiar hydrogen-rich explosion of a massive star
Iair Arcavi, D. Andrew Howell, Daniel Kasen +50
Every supernova hitherto observed has been considered to be the terminal explosion of a star. Moreover, all supernovae with absorption lines in their spectra show those lines decre…
iPTF16asu: A Luminous, Rapidly-Evolving, and High-Velocity Supernova
L. Whitesides, R. Lunnan, M. M. Kasliwal +23
Wide-field surveys are discovering a growing number of rare transients whose physical origin is not yet well understood. Here, we present optical and UV data and analysis of iPTF16…
Hydrogen-poor Superluminous Supernovae With Late-time H-alpha Emission: Three Events From the Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory
Lin Yan, R. Lunnan, D. Perley +20
We present observations of two new hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSN-I), iPTF15esb and iPTF16bad, showing late-time H-alpha emission with line luminosities of (1-3)e+41…
Revisiting optical tidal disruption events with iPTF16axa
T. Hung, S. Gezari, N. Blagorodnova +12
We report the discovery by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) of a candidate tidal disruption event (TDE) iPTF16axa at , and present its broadband photometr…
Confined Dense Circumstellar Material Surrounding a Regular Type II Supernova: The Unique Flash-Spectroscopy Event of SN 2013fs
O. Yaron, D. A. Perley, A. Gal-Yam +30
With the advent of new wide-field, high-cadence optical transient surveys, our understanding of the diversity of core-collapse supernovae has grown tremendously in the last decade.…
