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…

Type Ib Supernova 2008D associated with the Luminous X-ray Transient 080109: An Energetic Explosion of a Massive Helium Star

Masaomi Tanaka, Nozomu Tominaga, Ken'ichi Nomoto +11

We present a theoretical model for supernova (SN) 2008D associated with the luminous X-ray transient 080109. The bolometric light curve and optical spectra of the SN are modelled b…

The gas turbulence in planetary nebulae: quantification and multi-D maps from long-slit, wide-spectral range echellogram

F. Sabbadin, M. Turatto, S. Benetti +2

This methodological paper is part of a short series dedicated to the long-standing astronomical problem of de-projecting the bi-dimensional, apparent morphology of a three-dimensio…

Spectral luminosity indicators in SNe Ia - Understanding the R(SiII) line strength ratio and beyond

Stephan Hachinger, Paolo A. Mazzali, Masaomi Tanaka +2

SNe Ia are good distance indicators because the shape of their light curves, which can be measured independently of distance, varies smoothly with luminosity. This suggests that SN…

GALEX Spectroscopy of SN 2005ay suggests a UV spectral uniformity among type II-P supernovae

A. Gal-Yam, F. Bufano, T. Barlow +24

We present the first results from our GALEX program designed to obtain ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy of nearby core-collapse supernovae (SNe). Our first target, SN 2005ay in the ne…

ESC Supernova spectroscopy of non-ESC targets

A. H. Harutyunyan, P. Pfahler, A. Pastorello +12

We present the spectra of 36 Supernovae (SNe) of various types, obtained by the European Supernova Collaboration. Because of the spectral classification and the phase determination…
