SN 2017dio: a type-Ic supernova exploding in a hydrogen-rich circumstellar medium

Hanindyo Kuncarayakti, Keiichi Maeda, Christopher J. Ashall +42

SN 2017dio shows both spectral characteristics of a type-Ic supernova (SN) and signs of a hydrogen-rich circumstellar medium (CSM). Prominent, narrow emission lines of H and He are…

The early detection and follow-up of the highly obscured Type II supernova 2016ija/DLT16am

L. Tartaglia, D. J. Sand, S. Valenti +45

We present our analysis of the Type II supernova DLT16am (SN~2016ija). The object was discovered during the ongoing (DLT40) one day cadence supernova search a…

A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source

S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118

Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…

A hybrid type Ia supernova with an early flash triggered by helium-shell detonation

Ji-an Jiang, Mamoru Doi, Keiichi Maeda +22

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) arise from the thermonuclear explosion of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs. Though the uniformity of their light curves makes them powerful cosmological dista…

SN 2016coi/ASASSN-16fp: An example of residual helium in a type Ic supernova?

S. J. Prentice, C. Ashall, P. A. Mazzali +35

The optical observations of Ic-4 supernova (SN) 2016coi/ASASSN-16fp, from to days after explosion, are presented along with analysis of its physical properties.…

Light and color curve properties of type Ia supernovae: Theory vs. Observations

P. Hoeflich, E. Y. Hsiao, C. Ashall +10

We study optical light curve(LC) relations of type Ia supernovae(SNe~Ia) for their use in cosmology using high-quality photometry published by the Carnegie-Supernovae-Project (CSP-…
