Environments of interacting transients: Impostors and type IIn supernovae
Stacey Habergham, Joseph Anderson, Phil James +1
This paper presents one of the first environmental analyses of the locations of the class of `interacting transients', namely type IIn supernovae and supernova Impostors. We discus…
