Luminous Red Novae: Stellar Mergers or Giant Eruptions?
A. Pastorello, E. Mason, S. Taubenberger +36
We present extensive datasets for a class of intermediate-luminosity optical transients known as "luminous red novae" (LRNe). They show double-peaked light curves, with an initial…
Massive stars exploding in a He-rich circumstellar medium. IV. Transitional Type Ibn Supernovae
A. Pastorello, S. Benetti, P. J. Brown +30
We present ultraviolet, optical and near-infrared data of the Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) 2010al and 2011hw. SN 2010al reaches an absolute magnitude at peak of M(R) = -18.86 +- 0.21.…
The Type IIP Supernova 2012aw in M95: hydrodynamical modelling of the photospheric phase from accurate spectrophotometric monitoring
M. Dall'Ora, M. T. Botticella, M. L. Pumo +38
We present an extensive optical and near-infrared photometric and spectroscopic campaign of the type IIP supernova SN 2012aw. The dataset densely covers the evolution of SN 2012aw…
Comparison of progenitor mass estimates for the type IIP SN 2012A
L. Tomasella, E. Cappellaro, M. Fraser +24
We present the one-year long observing campaign of SN 2012A which exploded in the nearby (9.8 Mpc) irregular galaxy NGC 3239. The photometric evolution is that of a normal type IIP…
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…
