The Photometric and Spectral Evolution of the 2008 Luminous Optical Transient in NGC 300
Roberta M. Humphreys, Howard E. Bond, Alceste Z. Bonanos +4
The 2008 optical transient in NGC 300 is one of a growing class of intermediate-luminosity transients that brighten several orders of magnitude from a previously optically obscured…
SN 2008jb: A "Lost" Core-Collapse Supernova in a Star-Forming Dwarf Galaxy at ~10 Mpc
Jose L. Prieto, J. C. Lee, A. J. Drake +9
We present the discovery and follow-up observations of SN 2008jb, a core-collapse supernova in the dwarf irregular galaxy ESO 302-14 at 9.6 Mpc. This transient was missed by galaxy…
The Cosmic Core-collapse Supernova Rate does not match the Massive-Star Formation Rate
Shunsaku Horiuchi, John F. Beacom, Christopher S. Kochanek +3
We identify a "supernova rate problem": the measured cosmic core-collapse supernova rate is a factor of ~ 2 smaller (with significance ~ 2 sigma) than that predicted from the measu…
