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…
Supersolar Ni/Fe production in the Type IIP SN 2012ec
Anders Jerkstrand, Stephen J. Smartt, Jesper Sollerman +14
SN 2012ec is a Type IIP supernova (SN) with a progenitor detection and comprehensive photospheric-phase observational coverage. Here, we present Very Large Telescope and PESSTO obs…
SN 2012ec: mass of the progenitor from PESSTO follow-up of the photospheric phase
C. Barbarino, M. Dall'Ora, M. T. Botticella +32
We present the results of a photometric and spectroscopic monitoring campaign of SN 2012ec, which exploded in the spiral galaxy NGC 1084, during the photospheric phase. The photome…
OGLE-2013-SN-079: a lonely supernova consistent with a helium shell detonation
C. Inserra, S. A. Sim, L. Wyrzykowski +31
We present observational data for a peculiar supernova discovered by the OGLE-IV survey and followed by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey for Transient Objects. The inferred reds…
Possible binary progenitors for the type Ib supernova iPTF13bvn
J. J. Eldridge, Morgan Fraser, Justyn R. Maund +1
Cao et al. (2013) reported a possible progenitor detection for the type Ib supernovae iPTF13bvn for the first time. We find that the progenitor is in fact brighter than the magnitu…
Bolometric light curves and explosion parameters of 38 stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae
Joe Lyman, David Bersier, Phil James +4
Literature data are collated for 38 stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae (SE SNe; i.e. SNe IIb, Ib, Ic and Ic-BL) that have good light curve coverage in more than one optical…
