Asphericity, Interaction, and Dust in the Type II-P/II-L Supernova 2013ej in Messier 74
Jon C. Mauerhan, Schuyler D. Van Dyk, Joel Johansson +6
SN 2013ej is a well-studied core-collapse supernova (SN) that stemmed from a directly identified red supergiant (RSG) progenitor in galaxy M74. The source exhibits signs of substan…
iPTF16geu: A multiply imaged, gravitationally lensed type Ia supernova
A. Goobar, R. Amanullah, S. R. Kulkarni +31
We report the discovery of a multiply-imaged gravitationally lensed Type Ia supernova, iPTF16geu (SN 2016geu), at redshift . This phenomenon could be identified because th…
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…
SPIRITS 15c and SPIRITS 14buu: Two Obscured Supernovae in the Nearby Star-Forming Galaxy IC 2163
Jacob E. Jencson, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Joel Johansson +22
SPIRITS---SPitzer InfraRed Intensive Transients Survey---is an ongoing survey of nearby galaxies searching for infrared (IR) transients with Spitzer/IRAC. We present the discovery…
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…
Type Ibn Supernovae Show Photometric Homogeneity and Spectral Diversity at Maximum Light
Griffin Hosseinzadeh, Iair Arcavi, Stefano Valenti +34
Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) are a small yet intriguing class of explosions whose spectra are characterized by low-velocity helium emission lines with little to no evidence for hydrog…
High-redshift supernova rates measured with the gravitational telescope A1689
Tanja Petrushevska, Rahman Amanullah, Ariel Goobar +12
We present a ground-based near-infrared search for lensed supernovae behind the massive cluster Abell 1689 at z=0.18, one of the most powerful gravitational telescopes that nature…
Time-Varying Sodium Absorption in the Type Ia Supernova 2013gh
R. Ferretti, R. Amanullah, A. Goobar +18
Temporal variability of narrow absorption lines in high-resolution spectra of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is studied to search for circumstellar matter. Time series which resolve t…
A Systematic Study of Mid-Infrared Emission from Core-Collapse Supernovae with SPIRITS
Samaporn Tinyanont, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Ori D. Fox +12
We present a systematic study of mid-infrared (mid-IR) emission from 141 nearby supernovae (SNe) observed with the InfraRed Array Camera (IRAC) on Spitzer.These SNe reside in one o…
An Intermediate Type Ia Supernova Between Normal And Super-Chandrasekhar
Yi Cao, J. Johansson, Peter E. Nugent +14
In this paper, we report observations of a peculiar Type Ia supernova iPTF13asv (a.k.a., SN2013cv) from the onset of the explosion to months after its peak. The early-phase spectra…
