Optical and near-infrared photometry of 94 type II supernovae from the Carnegie Supernova Project
J. P. Anderson, C. Contreras, M. D. Stritzinger +43
Type II supernovae (SNeII) mark the endpoint in the lives of hydrogen-rich massive stars. Their large explosion energies and luminosities allow us to measure distances, metalliciti…
Carnegie Supernova Project-I and -II: Measurements of using Cepheid, TRGB, and SBF Distance Calibration to Type Ia Supernovae
Syed A. Uddin, Christopher R. Burns, Mark M. Phillips +44
We present an analysis of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe~Ia) from both the Carnegie Supernova Project~I (CSP-I) and II (CSP-II), and extend the Hubble diagram from the optical to the near…
ASASSN-15hy: an under-luminous, red 03fg-like type Ia supernova
J. Lu, C. Ashall, E. Y. Hsiao +33
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the 03fg-like type Ia supernova (SN Ia) ASASSN-15hy from the ultraviolet (UV) to the near-infrared (NIR). ASASSN-15hy share…
Carnegie Supernova Project: The First Homogeneous Sample of "Super-Chandrasekhar Mass"/2003fg-like Type Ia Supernova
C. Ashall, J. Lu, E. Y. Hsiao +38
We present a multi-wavelength photometric and spectroscopic analysis of thirteen "Super-Chandrasekhar Mass"/2003fg-like type Ia Supernova (SNe~Ia). Nine of these objects were obser…
Carnegie Supernova Project II: The slowest rising Type Ia supernova LSQ14fmg and clues to the origin of super-Chandrasekhar/03fg-like events
E. Y. Hsiao, P. Hoeflich, C. Ashall +34
The Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) LSQ14fmg exhibits exaggerated properties which may help to reveal the origin of the "super-Chandrasekhar" (or 03fg-like) group. The optical spectrum i…
The Carnegie Supernova Project II. Observations of SN 2014ab possibly revealing a 2010jl-like SN IIn with pre-existing dust
T. J. Moriya, M. D. Stritzinger, F. Taddia +18
We present optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of the Type IIn supernova (SN) 2014ab, obtained by the Carnegie Supernova Project II (CSP-II) and initiated immedia…
The Carnegie Supernova Project II. Observations of the luminous red nova AT 2014ej
M. D. Stritzinger, F. Taddia, M. Fraser +29
We present optical and near-infrared broadband photometry and optical spectra of AT 2014ej from the the Carnegie Supernova Project-II. These observations are complemented with data…
The lowest metallicity type II supernova from the highest mass red-supergiant progenitor
J. P. Anderson, L. Dessart, C. P. Gutiérrez +29
Red supergiants have been confirmed as the progenitor stars of the majority of hydrogen-rich type II supernovae. However, while such stars are observed with masses >25M, de…
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…
Strong near-infrared carbon in the Type Ia supernova iPTF13ebh
E. Y. Hsiao, C. R. Burns, C. Contreras +51
We present near-infrared (NIR) time-series spectroscopy, as well as complementary ultraviolet (UV), optical, and NIR data, of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) iPTF13ebh, which was dis…
Light Echoes from Eta Carinae's Great Eruption: Spectrophotometric Evolution and the Rapid Formation of Nitrogen-rich Molecules
J. L. Prieto, A. Rest, F. B. Bianco +18
We present follow-up optical imaging and spectroscopy of one of the light echoes of Carinae's 19th-century Great Eruption discovered by Rest et al. (2012). By obtaining images…
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…
The Man Behind the Curtain: X-rays Drive the UV through NIR Variability in the 2013 AGN Outburst in NGC 2617
B. J. Shappee, J. L. Prieto, D. Grupe +44
After the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) discovered a significant brightening of the inner region of NGC 2617, we began a ~70 day photometric and spectroscopic m…
