Rapidly Rising Transients in the Supernova - Superluminous Supernova Gap
Iair Arcavi, William M. Wolf, D. Andrew Howell +26
We present observations of four rapidly rising (t_{rise}~10d) transients with peak luminosities between those of supernovae (SNe) and superluminous SNe (M_{peak}~-20) - one discove…
The Host Galaxies of Type Ia Supernovae Discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory
Y. -C. Pan, M. Sullivan, K. Maguire +16
We present spectroscopic observations of the host galaxies of 82 low-redshift type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). We determine star-forma…
The first month of evolution of the slow rising type II-P SN 2013ej in M74
S. Valenti, D. Sand, A. Pastorello +14
We present early photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2013ej, a bright type IIP supernova in M74. SN 2013ej is one of the closest SNe ever discovered. The available arc…
Type Ia Supernovae Strongly Interacting with Their Circumstellar Medium
Jeffrey M. Silverman, Peter E. Nugent, Avishay Gal-Yam +31
Owing to their utility for measurements of cosmic acceleration, Type Ia supernovae (SNe) are perhaps the best-studied class of SNe, yet the progenitor systems of these explosions l…
Supernova 2003ie Was Likely a Faint Type IIP Event
Iair Arcavi, Avishay Gal-Yam, Sergey G. Sergeev
We present new photometric observations of Supernova (SN) 2003ie starting one month before discovery, obtained serendipitously while observing its host galaxy. With only a weak upp…
The Flavours of SN II Light Curves
Iair Arcavi
We present R-Band light curves of Type II supernovae (SNe) from the Caltech Core Collapse Program (CCCP). With the exception of interacting (Type IIn) SNe and rare events with long…
