A population of Type Ibc supernovae with massive progenitors; broad lightcurves not uncommon in (i)PTF

E. Karamehmetoglu, J. Sollerman, F. Taddia +9

If high-mass stars (>20-25 Msun) are the progenitors of stripped-envelope (SE) supernovae (SNe), their massive ejecta should lead to broad, long-duration lightcurves (LCs). Instead…

The SNEMO and SUGAR Companion Datasets

G. Aldering, P. Antilogus, C. Aragon +41

The Nearby Supernova Factory has made spectrophotometric observations of Type Ia supernovae since . This work presents an interim version of the data produced, including $210…

ZTF Early Observations of Type Ia Supernovae I: Properties of the 2018 Sample

Yuhan Yao, Adam A. Miller, S. R. Kulkarni +32

Early-time observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are essential to constrain their progenitor properties. In this paper, we present high-quality light curves of 127 SNe Ia dis…

SUGAR: An improved empirical model of Type Ia Supernovae based on spectral features

P. -F. Léget, E. Gangler, F. Mondon +40

Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are widely used to measure the expansion of the Universe. Improving distance measurements of SNe Ia is one technique to better constrain the acceleratio…

The Zwicky Transient Facility: Surveys and Scheduler

Eric C. Bellm, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni, Tom Barlow +11

We present a novel algorithm for scheduling the observations of time-domain imaging surveys. Our Integer Linear Programming approach optimizes an observing plan for an entire night…

A New Class of Changing-Look LINERs

Sara Frederick, Suvi Gezari, Matthew J. Graham +28

We report the discovery of six active galactic nuclei (AGN) caught "turning on" during the first nine months of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey. The host galaxies were c…
