Type II supernovae from the Carnegie Supernova Project-I. III. Understanding SN II diversity through correlations between physical and observed properties
L. Martinez, J. P. Anderson, M. C. Bersten +17
SNe II show great photometric and spectroscopic diversity which is attributed to the varied physical characteristics of their progenitor and explosion properties. In this study, th…
Type II supernovae from the Carnegie Supernova Project-I. I. Bolometric light curves of 74 SNe II using uBgVriYJH photometry
L. Martinez, M. C. Bersten, J. P. Anderson +18
The present study is the first of a series of three papers where we characterise the type II supernovae (SNe~II) from the Carnegie Supernova Project-I to understand their diversity…
Type II supernovae from the Carnegie Supernova Project-I. II. Physical parameter distributions from hydrodynamical modelling
L. Martinez, M. C. Bersten, J. P. Anderson +18
Linking supernovae to their progenitors is a powerful method for furthering our understanding of the physical origin of their observed differences, while at the same time testing s…
Progenitor properties of type II supernovae: fitting to hydrodynamical models using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods
L. Martinez, M. C. Bersten, J. P. Anderson +3
The progenitor and explosion properties of type II supernovae (SNe II) are fundamental to understand the evolution of massive stars. Special interest has been given to the range of…
On the Ca-strong 1991bg-like type Ia supernova 2016hnk: evidence for a Chandrasekhar-mass explosion
Lluís Galbany, Chris Ashall, Peter Hoeflich +46
We present a comprehensive dataset of optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of type~Ia supernova (SN) 2016hnk, combined with integral field spectroscopy (IFS) of it…
PESSTO : survey description and products from the first data release by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects
S. J. Smartt, S. Valenti, M. Fraser +99
The Public European Southern Observatory Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO) began as a public spectroscopic survey in April 2012. We describe the data reduction str…
SN2011hs: a Fast and Faint Type IIb Supernova from a Supergiant Progenitor
F. Bufano, G. Pignata, M. Bersten +33
Observations spanning a large wavelength range, from X-ray to radio, of the Type IIb supernova 2011hs are presented, covering its evolution during the first year after explosion. T…
A statistical analysis of circumstellar material in Type Ia supernovae
Kate Maguire, Mark Sullivan, Ferdinando Patat +42
A key tracer of the elusive progenitor systems of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is the detection of narrow blueshifted time-varying Na I D absorption lines, interpreted as evidence o…
