The superluminous supernova PS1-11ap: bridging the gap between low and high redshift
M. McCrum, S. J. Smartt, R. Kotak +37
We present optical photometric and spectroscopic coverage of the superluminous supernova (SLSN) PS1-11ap, discovered with the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey at z = 0.524. This intr…
Slowly fading super-luminous supernovae that are not pair-instability explosions
M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt, A. Jerkstrand +57
Super-luminous supernovae that radiate more than 10^44 ergs per second at their peak luminosity have recently been discovered in faint galaxies at redshifts of 0.1-4. Some evolve s…
Cosmological Constraints from Measurements of Type Ia Supernovae discovered during the first 1.5 years of the Pan-STARRS1 Survey
A. Rest, D. Scolnic, R. J. Foley +46
We present griz light curves of 146 spectroscopically confirmed Type Ia Supernovae () discovered during the first 1.5 years of the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey. T…
Systematic Uncertainties Associated with the Cosmological Analysis of the First Pan-STARRS1 Type Ia Supernova Sample
D. Scolnic, A. Rest, A. Riess +46
We probe the systematic uncertainties from 113 Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) in the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) sample along with 197 SN Ia from a combination of low-redshift surveys. The compan…
The first month of evolution of the slow rising type II-P SN 2013ej in M74
S. Valenti, D. Sand, A. Pastorello +14
We present early photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2013ej, a bright type IIP supernova in M74. SN 2013ej is one of the closest SNe ever discovered. The available arc…
PS1-10afx at z=1.388: Pan-STARRS1 Discovery of a New Type of Superluminous Supernova
Ryan Chornock, E. Berger, A. Rest +32
We present the Pan-STARRS1 discovery of PS1-10afx, a unique hydrogen-deficient superluminous supernova (SLSN) at z=1.388. The light curve peaked at z_P1=21.7 mag, making PS1-10afx…
Spectroscopic Observations of SN 2012fr: A Luminous Normal Type Ia Supernova with Early High Velocity Features and Late Velocity Plateau
M. J. Childress, R. A. Scalzo, S. A. Sim +55
We present 65 optical spectra of the Type Ia supernova SN 2012fr, of which 33 were obtained before maximum light. At early times SN 2012fr shows clear evidence of a high-velocity f…
The Type IIP SN 2007od in UGC 12846: from a bright maximum to dust formation in the nebular phase
C. Inserra, M. Turatto, A. Pastorello +12
Ultraviolet (UV), optical and near infrared (NIR) observations of the type IIP supernova (SN) 2007od are presented, covering from the maximum light to the late phase, allowing to i…
GALEX and Pan-STARRS1 Discovery of SN IIP 2010aq: The First Few Days After Shock Breakout in a Red Supergiant Star
S. Gezari, A. Rest, M. E. Huber +34
We present the early UV and optical light curve of Type IIP supernova (SN) 2010aq at z=0.0862, and compare it to analytical models for thermal emission following SN shock breakout…
Two Type Ic supernovae in low-metallicity, dwarf galaxies: diversity of explosions
D. R. Young, S. J. Smartt, S. Valenti +15
We present BVRI photometry and optical spectroscopy of two Type Ic supernovae SN 2007bg and SN 2007bi discovered in wide-field, non-targeted surveys and associated with sub-luminou…
Nebular emission-line profiles of Type Ib/c Supernovae - probing the ejecta asphericity
S. Taubenberger, S. Valenti, S. Benetti +11
In order to assess qualitatively the ejecta geometry of stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae, we investigate 98 late-time spectra of 39 objects, many of them previously unpub…
