iPTF16asu: A Luminous, Rapidly-Evolving, and High-Velocity Supernova
L. Whitesides, R. Lunnan, M. M. Kasliwal +23
Wide-field surveys are discovering a growing number of rare transients whose physical origin is not yet well understood. Here, we present optical and UV data and analysis of iPTF16…
Confined Dense Circumstellar Material Surrounding a Regular Type II Supernova: The Unique Flash-Spectroscopy Event of SN 2013fs
O. Yaron, D. A. Perley, A. Gal-Yam +30
With the advent of new wide-field, high-cadence optical transient surveys, our understanding of the diversity of core-collapse supernovae has grown tremendously in the last decade.…
PTF 13efv - An outburst 500 days prior to the SNHunt 275 explosion and its radiative efficiency
E. O. Ofek, S. B. Cenko, N. J. Shaviv +15
The progenitors of some supernovae (SNe) exhibit outbursts with super-Eddington luminosities prior to their final explosions. This behavior is common among Type IIn SNe, but the dr…
The bolometric light curves and physical parameters of stripped-envelope supernovae
S. J. Prentice, P. A. Mazzali, E. Pian +14
The optical and optical/near-infrared pseudo-bolometric light curves of 85 stripped-envelope supernovae (SNe) are constructed using a consistent method and a standard cosmology. Th…
Metallicity from Type II Supernovae from the (i)PTF
F. Taddia, P. Moquist, J. Sollerman +13
Type IIP supernovae (SNe IIP) have recently been proposed as metallicity () probes. The spectral models of Dessart et al. (2014) showed that the pseudo-equivalent width of Fe II…
iPTF14yb: The First Discovery of a GRB Afterglow Independent of a High-Energy Trigger
S. Bradley Cenko, Alex L. Urban, Daniel A. Perley +34
We report here the discovery by the Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) of iPTF14yb, a luminous ( mag), cosmological (redshift 1.9733), rapidly fading…
