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…
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 curves of hydrogen-poor Superluminous Supernovae from the Palomar Transient Factory
Annalisa De Cia, A. Gal-Yam, A. Rubin +24
We investigate the light-curve properties of a sample of 26 spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) in the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) surv…
Gaia17biu/SN 2017egm in NGC 3191: The closest hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova to date is in a "normal", massive, metal-rich spiral galaxy
Subhash Bose, Subo Dong, A. Pastorello +55
Hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) have been predominantly found in low-metallicity, star-forming dwarf galaxies. Here we identify Gaia17biu/SN 2017egm as an SLSN-I o…
Modelling the Type Ic SN 2004aw: a Moderately Energetic Explosion of a Massive C+O Star without a GRB
P. A. Mazzali, D. N. Sauer, E. Pian +5
An analysis of the Type Ic supernova (SN) 2004aw is performed by means of models of the photospheric and nebular spectra and of the bolometric light curve. SN2004aw is shown not to…
A physically motivated classification of stripped-envelope supernovae
S. J. Prentice, P. A. Mazzali
The classification of stripped-envelope supernovae (SE-SNe) is revisited using modern data-sets. Spectra are analysed using an empirical method to "blindly" categorise SNe accordin…
The Nearby Type Ibn Supernova 2015G: Signatures of Asymmetry and Progenitor Constraints
Isaac Shivvers, WeiKang Zheng, Schuyler D. Van Dyk +24
We present the results of an extensive observational campaign on the nearby Type Ibn SN 2015G, including data from radio through ultraviolet wavelengths. SN 2015G was asymmetric, s…
GRB 161219B-SN 2016jca: a powerful stellar collapse
C. Ashall, P. A. Mazzali, E. Pian +26
We report observations and analysis of the nearby gamma-ray burst GRB\,161219B (redshift ) and the associated Type Ic supernova (SN) 2016jca. GRB\,161219B had an isotropi…
