Hydrogen-rich supernovae beyond the neutrino-driven core-collapse paradigm

G. Terreran, M. L. Pumo, T. -W. Chen +41

We present our study of OGLE-2014-SN-073, one of the brightest Type II SN ever discovered, with an unusually broad lightcurve combined with high ejecta velocities. From our hydrody…

The Space Density of Post-Period Minimum Cataclysmic Variables

J. V. Hernandez Santisteban, C. Knigge, M. L. Pretorius +2

Binary evolution theory predicts that accreting white dwarfs with sub-stellar companions dominate the Galactic population of cataclysmic variables (CVs). In order to test these pre…

OzDES multifibre spectroscopy for the Dark Energy Survey: Three year results and first data release

M. J. Childress, C. Lidman, T. M. Davis +98

We present results for the first three years of OzDES, a six-year programme to obtain redshifts for objects in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) supernova fields using the 2dF fibre pos…

DES15E2mlf: A Spectroscopically Confirmed Superluminous Supernova that Exploded 3.5 Gyr After the Big Bang

Y. -C. Pan, R. J. Foley, M. Smith +63

We present the Dark Energy Survey (DES) discovery of DES15E2mlf, the most distant superluminous supernova (SLSN) spectroscopically confirmed to date. The light curves and Gemini sp…

A polarized fast radio burst at low Galactic latitude

E. Petroff, S. Burke-Spolaor, E. F. Keane +35

We report on the discovery of a new fast radio burst, FRB 150215, with the Parkes radio telescope on 2015 February 15. The burst was detected in real time with a dispersion measure…

PTF 13efv - An outburst 500 days prior to the SNHunt 275 explosion and its radiative efficiency

E. O. Ofek, S. B. Cenko, N. J. Shaviv +15

The progenitors of some supernovae (SNe) exhibit outbursts with super-Eddington luminosities prior to their final explosions. This behavior is common among Type IIn SNe, but the dr…
