LSQ13ddu: A rapidly-evolving stripped-envelope supernova with early circumstellar interaction signatures

Peter Clark, Kate Maguire, Cosimo Inserra +30

This paper describes the rapidly evolving and unusual supernova LSQ13ddu, discovered by the La Silla-QUEST survey. LSQ13ddu displayed a rapid rise of just 4.80.9 d to reach a…

The Mystery of Photometric Twins DES17X1boj and DES16E2bjy

M. Pursiainen, C. Gutierrez, P. Wiseman +80

We present an analysis of DES17X1boj and DES16E2bjy, two peculiar transients discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES). They exhibit nearly identical double-peaked light curves wh…

GRB171010A / SN2017htp: a GRB-SN at z=0.33

A. Melandri, D. B. Malesani, L. Izzo +41

The number of supernovae known to be connected with long-duration gamma-ray bursts is increasing and the link between these events is no longer exclusively found at low redshift ($…

SN2018kzr: a rapidly declining transient from the destruction of a white dwarf

Owen R. McBrien, Stephen J. Smartt, Ting-Wan Chen +31

We present SN2018kzr, the fastest declining supernova-like transient, second only to the kilonova, AT2017gfo. SN2018kzr is characterized by a peak magnitude of , peak…
