Constraints on the origin of the first light from SN2014J
A. Goobar, M. Kromer, R. Siverd +6
We study the very early lightcurve of supernova 2014J (SN 2014J) using the high-cadence broad-band imaging data obtained by the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT), which…
The hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova iPTF13ajg and its host galaxy in absorption and emission
Paul M. Vreeswijk, Sandra Savaglio, Avishay Gal-Yam +24
We present imaging and spectroscopy of a hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova (SLSN) discovered by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory: iPTF13ajg. At a redshift of z=0.7403…
Comprehensive Observations of the Bright and Energetic Type Iax SN 2012Z: Interpretation as a Chandrasekhar Mass White Dwarf Explosion
M. D. Stritzinger, S. Valenti, P. Hoeflich +19
We present UV through NIR broad-band photometry, and optical and NIR spectroscopy of Type Iax supernova 2012Z. The data set consists of both early and late-time observations, inclu…
A Wolf-Rayet-like progenitor of supernova SN 2013cu from spectral observations of a wind
Avishay Gal-Yam, I. Arcavi, E. O. Ofek +17
The explosive fate of massive stripped Wolf-Rayet (W-R) stars is a key open question in stellar physics. An appealing option is that hydrogen-deficient W-R stars are the progenitor…
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…
