Interacting Supernovae and Supernova Impostors. SN 2009ip, is this the end?
A. Pastorello, E. Cappellaro, C. Inserra +41
We report the results of a 3 year-long dedicated monitoring campaign of a restless Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) in NGC 7259. The object, named SN 2009ip, was observed photometrical…
Moderately Luminous type II Supernovae
C. Inserra, A. Pastorello, M. Turatto +10
Core-collapse Supernovae (CC-SNe) descend from progenitors more massive than about 8 Msun. Because of the young age of the progenitors, the ejecta may eventually interact with the…
Interpreting the near-infrared spectra of the 'golden standard' Type Ia supernova 2005cf
E. E. E. Gall, S. Taubenberger, M. Kromer +5
We present nine near-infrared (NIR) spectra of supernova (SN) 2005cf at epochs from -10 d to +42 d with respect to B-band maximum, complementing the existing excellent data sets av…
The Type IIb Supernova 2011dh from a Supergiant Progenitor
Melina C. Bersten, Omar G. Benvenuto, Ken'ichi Nomoto +10
A set of hydrodynamical models based on stellar evolutionary progenitors is used to study the nature of SN 2011dh. Our modeling suggests that a large progenitor star ---with R ~200…
Multi-Wavelength Observations of Supernova 2011ei: Time-Dependent Classification of Type IIb and Ib Supernovae and Implications for their Progenitors
D. Milisavljevic, R. Margutti, A. M. Soderberg +39
We present X-ray, UV/optical, and radio observations of the stripped-envelope, core-collapse supernova (SN) 2011ei, one of the least luminous SNe IIb or Ib observed to date. Our ob…
A spectroscopically normal type Ic supernova from a very massive progenitor
Stefano Valenti, Stefan Taubenberger, Andrea Pastorello +17
We present observations of the Type Ic supernova (SN Ic) 2011bm spanning a period of about one year. The data establish that SN 2011bm is a spectroscopically normal SN Ic with mode…
