Euclid: Superluminous supernovae in the Deep Survey
C. Inserra, R. C. Nichol, D. Scovacricchi +31
In the last decade, astronomers have found a new type of supernova called `superluminous supernovae' (SLSNe) due to their high peak luminosity and long light-curves. These hydrogen…
A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source
S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118
Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…
Type II supernova spectral diversity I: Observations, sample characterization and spectral line evolution
Claudia P. Gutiérrez, Joseph P. Anderson, Mario Hamuy +23
We present 888 visual-wavelength spectra of 122 nearby type II supernovae (SNe II) obtained between 1986 and 2009, and ranging between 3 and 363 days post explosion. In this first…
False outliers of the Ep,i - Eiso correlation?
Renato Martone, Luca Izzo, Massimo Della Valle +3
Context. In the context of an in-depth understanding of GRBs and their possible use in cosmology, some important correlations between the parameters that describe their emission ha…
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…
CXO J004318.8+412016, a steady supersoft X-ray source in M 31
M. Orio, G. J. M. Luna, R. Kotulla +14
We obtained an optical spectrum of a star we identify as the optical counterpart of the M31 Chandra source CXO J004318.8+412016, because of prominent emission lines of the Balmer s…
