Progenitor candidate for the type II-P supernova SN 2018aoq in NGC 4151
D. O'Neill, R. Kotak, M. Fraser +9
We present our findings based on pre- and post-explosion data of the type II-Plateau SN 2018aoq that exploded in NGC 4151. As distance estimates to NGC 4151 vary by an order of mag…
SN 2014J in M82: New Insights On the Spectral Diversity of Type Ia Supernovae
Kaicheng Zhang, Xiaofeng Wang, JuJia Zhang +25
We present extensive spectroscopic observations for one of the closest type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), SN 2014J discovered in M82, ranging from 10.4 days before to 473.2 days after B-…
SN 2017ens: The Metamorphosis of a Luminous Broad-lined Type Ic Supernova into an SN IIn
T. -W. Chen, C. Inserra, M. Fraser +46
We present observations of supernova (SN) 2017ens, discovered by the ATLAS survey and identified as a hot blue object through the GREAT program. The redshift z=0.1086 implies a pea…
The Type IIn Supernova 2010bt: The Explosion of a Star in Outburst
N. Elias-Rosa, S. D. Van Dyk, S. Benetti +12
It is well known that massive stars (M > 8 M_sun) evolve up to the collapse of the stellar core, resulting in most cases as a supernova (SN) explosion. Their heterogeneity is relat…
ASASSN-15no: The Supernova that plays hide-and-seek
S. Benetti, L. Zampieri, A. Pastorello +11
We report the results of our follow-up campaign of the peculiar supernova ASASSN-15no, based on optical data covering ~300 days of its evolution. Initially the spectra show a pure…
SNhunt151: an explosive event inside a dense cocoon
N. Elias-Rosa, S. Benetti, E. Cappellaro +20
SNhunt151 was initially classified as a supernova (SN) impostor (nonterminal outburst of a massive star). It exhibited a slow increase in luminosity, lasting about 450 d, followed…
