Supernova 2013fc in a circumnuclear ring of a luminous infrared galaxy: the big brother of SN 1998S

T. Kangas, S. Mattila, E. Kankare +30

We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2013fc, a bright type II supernova (SN) in a circumnuclear star-forming ring in the luminous infrared galaxy ESO 154-G01…

On type IIn/Ia-CSM supernovae as exemplified by SN 2012ca

C. Inserra, M. Fraser, S. J. Smartt +15

We present the complete set of ultra-violet, optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy for SN 2012ca, covering the period from 6~days prior to maximum light, until 531…

On the diversity of super-luminous supernovae: ejected mass as the dominant factor

M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt, A. Jerkstrand +37

We assemble a sample of 24 hydrogen-poor super-luminous supernovae (SLSNe). Parameterizing the light curve shape through rise and decline timescales shows that the two are highly c…

Massive stars exploding in a He-rich circumstellar medium. VI. Observations of two distant Type Ibn supernova candidates discovered by La Silla-QUEST

A. Pastorello, E. Hadjiyska, D. Rabinowitz +31

We present optical observations of the peculiar stripped-envelope supernovae (SNe) LSQ12btw and LSQ13ccw discovered by the La Silla-QUEST survey. LSQ12btw reaches an absolute peak…

Massive stars exploding in a He-rich circumstellar medium. V. Observations of the slow-evolving SN Ibn OGLE-2012-SN-006

A. Pastorello, L. Wyrzykowski, S. Valenti +36

We present optical observations of the peculiar Type Ibn supernova (SN Ibn) OGLE-2012-SN-006, discovered and monitored by the OGLE-IV survey, and spectroscopically followed by PESS…
