LSQ14efd: observations of the cooling of a shock break-out event in a type Ic Supernova
C. Barbarino, M. T. Botticella, M. Dall'Ora +29
We present the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of the type Ic supernova LSQ14efd, discovered by the La Silla QUEST survey and followed by PESSTO. LSQ14efd was discovered fe…
LSQ13fn: A type II-Plateau supernova with a possibly low metallicity progenitor that breaks the standardised candle relation
J. Polshaw, R. Kotak, L. Dessart +20
We present optical imaging and spectroscopy of supernova (SN) LSQ13fn, a type II supernova with several hitherto-unseen properties. Although it initially showed strong symmetric sp…
The Rising Light Curves of Type Ia Supernovae
R. E. Firth, M. Sullivan, A. Gal-Yam +11
We present an analysis of the early, rising light curves of 18 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and the La Silla-QUEST variability surv…
Rapidly-Evolving and Luminous Transients from Pan-STARRS1
M. R. Drout, R. Chornock, A. M. Soderberg +33
In the past decade, several rapidly-evolving transients have been discovered whose timescales and luminosities are not easily explained by traditional supernovae (SN) models. The s…
Super-luminous supernovae from PESSTO
M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt, A. Jerkstrand +29
We present optical spectra and light curves for three hydrogen-poor super-luminous supernovae followed by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO). Time se…
Towards Characterization of the Type IIP Supernova Progenitor Population: a Statistical Sample of Light Curves from Pan-STARRS1
N. E. Sanders, A. M. Soderberg, S. Gezari +30
In recent years, wide-field sky surveys providing deep multi-band imaging have presented a new path for indirectly characterizing the progenitor populations of core-collapse supern…
Early ultraviolet emission in the Type Ia supernova LSQ12gdj: No evidence for ongoing shock interaction
R. A. Scalzo, M. Childress, B. Tucker +37
We present photospheric-phase observations of LSQ12gdj, a slowly-declining, UV-bright Type Ia supernova. Classified well before maximum light, LSQ12gdj has extinction-corrected abs…
