The Unusually Luminous Extragalactic Nova SN 2010U
Ian Czekala, E. Berger, R. Chornock +10
We present observations of the unusual optical transient SN 2010U, including spectra taken 1.03 days to 15.3 days after maximum light that identify it as a fast and luminous Fe II…
Interacting Supernovae and Supernova Impostors. SN 2009ip, is this the end?
A. Pastorello, E. Cappellaro, C. Inserra +41
We report the results of a 3 year-long dedicated monitoring campaign of a restless Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) in NGC 7259. The object, named SN 2009ip, was observed photometrical…
The progenitor mass of the Type IIP supernova SN 2004et from late-time spectral modeling
Anders Jerkstrand, Claes Fransson, Kate Maguire +3
SN 2004et is one of the nearest and best-observed Type IIP supernovae, with a progenitor detection as well as good photometric and spectroscopic observational coverage well into th…
The Type IIb Supernova 2011dh from a Supergiant Progenitor
Melina C. Bersten, Omar G. Benvenuto, Ken'ichi Nomoto +10
A set of hydrodynamical models based on stellar evolutionary progenitors is used to study the nature of SN 2011dh. Our modeling suggests that a large progenitor star ---with R ~200…
SN 2009kn - the twin of the Type IIn supernova 1994W
E. Kankare, M. Ergon, F. Bufano +17
We present an optical and near-infrared photometric and spectroscopic study of supernova (SN) 2009kn spanning ~1.5 yr from the discovery. The optical spectra are dominated by the n…
Red and dead: The progenitor of SN 2012aw in M95
M. Fraser, J. R. Maund, S. J. Smartt +17
Core-collapse supernovae (SNe) are the spectacular finale to massive stellar evolution. In this Letter, we identify a progenitor for the nearby core-collapse SN 2012aw in both grou…
