LSQ14efd: observations of the cooling of a shock break-out event in a type Ic Supernova

C. Barbarino, M. T. Botticella, M. Dall'Ora +29

We present the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of the type Ic supernova LSQ14efd, discovered by the La Silla QUEST survey and followed by PESSTO. LSQ14efd was discovered fe…

First Results from the La Silla-QUEST Supernova Survey and the Carnegie Supernova Project

E. S. Walker, C. Baltay, A. Campillay +20

The LaSilla/QUEST Variability Survey (LSQ) and the Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP II) are collaborating to discover and obtain photometric light curves for a large sample of low r…

Massive stars exploding in a He-rich circumstellar medium. VI. Observations of two distant Type Ibn supernova candidates discovered by La Silla-QUEST

A. Pastorello, E. Hadjiyska, D. Rabinowitz +31

We present optical observations of the peculiar stripped-envelope supernovae (SNe) LSQ12btw and LSQ13ccw discovered by the La Silla-QUEST survey. LSQ12btw reaches an absolute peak…

Early ultraviolet emission in the Type Ia supernova LSQ12gdj: No evidence for ongoing shock interaction

R. A. Scalzo, M. Childress, B. Tucker +37

We present photospheric-phase observations of LSQ12gdj, a slowly-declining, UV-bright Type Ia supernova. Classified well before maximum light, LSQ12gdj has extinction-corrected abs…

La Silla QUEST RR Lyrae Star Survey: Region I

R. Zinn, B. Horowitz, A. K. Vivas +5

A search for RR Lyrae stars (RRLS) in 840 sq.deg. of the sky in right ascension 150 - 210 deg and declination -10 - +10 deg yielded 1013 type ab and 359 type c RRLS. This sample is…

A statistical analysis of circumstellar material in Type Ia supernovae

Kate Maguire, Mark Sullivan, Ferdinando Patat +42

A key tracer of the elusive progenitor systems of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is the detection of narrow blueshifted time-varying Na I D absorption lines, interpreted as evidence o…
