The High-Metallicity Explosion Environment of the Relativistic Supernova 2009bb
E. M. Levesque, A. M. Soderberg, R. J. Foley +23
We investigate the environment of the nearby (d ~ 40Mpc) broad-lined Type Ic supernova SN 2009bb. This event was observed to produce a relativistic outflow likely powered by a cent…
A Relativistic Type Ibc Supernova Without a Detected Gamma-ray Burst
A. M. Soderberg, S. Chakraborti, G. Pignata +21
Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) mark the explosive death of some massive stars and are a rare sub-class of Type Ibc supernovae (SNe Ibc). They are distinguished by the produc…
SN 2008ha: An Extremely Low Luminosity and Extremely Low Energy Supernova
Ryan J. Foley, Ryan Chornock, Alexei V. Filippenko +9
We present ultraviolet, optical, and near-infrared photometry as well as optical spectra of the peculiar supernova (SN) 2008ha. SN 2008ha had a very low peak luminosity, reaching o…
