Time-Varying Sodium Absorption in the Type Ia Supernova 2013gh
R. Ferretti, R. Amanullah, A. Goobar +18
Temporal variability of narrow absorption lines in high-resolution spectra of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is studied to search for circumstellar matter. Time series which resolve t…
An Intermediate Type Ia Supernova Between Normal And Super-Chandrasekhar
Yi Cao, J. Johansson, Peter E. Nugent +14
In this paper, we report observations of a peculiar Type Ia supernova iPTF13asv (a.k.a., SN2013cv) from the onset of the explosion to months after its peak. The early-phase spectra…
Strong Ultraviolet Pulse From a Newborn Type Ia Supernova
Yi Cao, S. R. Kulkarni, D. Andrew Howell +19
Type Ia supernovae are destructive explosions of carbon oxygen white dwarfs. Although they are used empirically to measure cosmological distances, the nature of their progenitors r…
Strong near-infrared carbon in the Type Ia supernova iPTF13ebh
E. Y. Hsiao, C. R. Burns, C. Contreras +51
We present near-infrared (NIR) time-series spectroscopy, as well as complementary ultraviolet (UV), optical, and NIR data, of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) iPTF13ebh, which was dis…
An Accreting White Dwarf near the Chandrasekhar Limit in the Andromeda Galaxy
Sumin Tang, Lars Bildsten, William M. Wolf +13
The iPTF detection of the most recent outburst of the recurrent nova system RX J0045.4+4154 in the Andromeda Galaxy has enabled the unprecedented study of a massive ($M>1.3\ M_\odo…
iPTF13beo: The Double-Peaked Light Curve of a Type Ibn Supernova Discovered Shortly after Explosion
Evgeny Gorbikov, Avishay Gal-Yam, Eran O. Ofek +13
We present optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the Type Ibn (SN 2006jc-like) supernova iPTF13beo. Detected by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory ~3 hours…
