We present the results from a high cadence, multi-wavelength observation campaign of AT 2016jbu (aka Gaia16cfr), an interacting transient. This dataset complements the current lite…
Type Ic supernovae from the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory
C. Barbarino, J. Sollerman, F. Taddia +8
Type Ic supernovae represent the explosions of the most stripped massive stars, but their progenitors and explosion mechanisms remain unclear. Larger samples of observed supernovae…
SN 2014ab: An Aspherical Type IIn Supernova with Low Polarization
