A population of highly energetic transient events in the centres of active galaxies
E. Kankare, R. Kotak, S. Mattila +25
Recent all-sky surveys have led to the discovery of new types of transients. These include stars disrupted by the central supermassive black hole, and supernovae that are 10-100 ti…
Euclid: Superluminous supernovae in the Deep Survey
C. Inserra, R. C. Nichol, D. Scovacricchi +31
In the last decade, astronomers have found a new type of supernova called `superluminous supernovae' (SLSNe) due to their high peak luminosity and long light-curves. These hydrogen…
A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source
S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118
Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…
Hydrogen-rich supernovae beyond the neutrino-driven core-collapse paradigm
G. Terreran, M. L. Pumo, T. -W. Chen +41
We present our study of OGLE-2014-SN-073, one of the brightest Type II SN ever discovered, with an unusually broad lightcurve combined with high ejecta velocities. From our hydrody…
Spatially resolved MaNGA observations of the host galaxy of superluminous supernova 2017egm
Ting-Wan Chen, Patricia Schady, Lin Xiao +6
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are found predominantly in dwarf galaxies, indicating that their progenitors have a low metallicity. However, the most nearby SLSN to date, SN 2017…
LSQ14efd: observations of the cooling of a shock break-out event in a type Ic Supernova
C. Barbarino, M. T. Botticella, M. Dall'Ora +29
We present the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of the type Ic supernova LSQ14efd, discovered by the La Silla QUEST survey and followed by PESSTO. LSQ14efd was discovered fe…
