The metamorphosis of Supernova SN2008D/XRF080109: a link between Supernovae and GRBs/Hypernovae
Paolo A. Mazzali, Stefano Valenti, Massimo Della Valle +38
The only supernovae (SNe) to have shown early gamma-ray or X-ray emission thus far are overenergetic, broad-lined Type Ic SNe (Hypernovae - HNe). Recently, SN 2008D shows several n…
The short GRB070707 afterglow and its very faint host galaxy
S. Piranomonte, P. D'Avanzo, S. Covino +18
We present the results from an ESO/VLT campaign aimed at studying the afterglow properties of the short/hard gamma ray burst GRB 070707. Observations were carried out at ten differ…
Transient Heavy Element Absorption Systems in Novae: Episodic Mass Ejection from the Secondary Star
Robert Williams, Elena Mason, Massimo Della Valle +1
A high-resolution spectroscopic survey of postoutburst novae reveals short-lived heavy element absorption systems in a majority of novae near maximum light, having expansion veloci…
Massive stars exploding in a He-rich circumstellar medium. I. Type Ibn (SN 2006jc-like) events
A. Pastorello, S. Mattila, L. Zampieri +26
We present new spectroscopic and photometric data of the type Ibn supernovae 2006jc, 2000er and 2002ao. We discuss the general properties of this recently proposed supernova family…
