Close, bright and boxy: the superluminous SN 2018hti
A. Fiore, S. Benetti, M. Nicholl +37
SN 2018hti was a very nearby (z=0.0614) superluminous supernova with an exceedingly bright absolute magnitude of -21.7 mag in r-band at maximum. The densely sampled pre-maximum lig…
Circumstellar Interaction Powers the Light Curves of Luminous Rapidly Evolving Optical Transients
C. Pellegrino, D. A. Howell, J. Vinkó +16
Rapidly evolving transients, or objects that rise and fade in brightness on timescales two to three times shorter than those of typical Type Ia or Type II supernovae (SNe), have un…
Optical Observations and Modeling of the Superluminous Supernova 2018lfe
Yao Yin, Sebastian Gomez, Edo Berger +3
We present optical imaging and spectroscopy of SN\,2018lfe, which we classify as a Type I superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at a redshift of with a peak absolute magnit…
Bumpy Declining Light Curves Are Common in Hydrogen-poor Superluminous Supernovae
Griffin Hosseinzadeh, Edo Berger, Brian D. Metzger +3
Recent work has revealed that the light curves of hydrogen-poor (Type I) superluminous supernovae (SLSNe), thought to be powered by magnetar central engines, do not always follow t…
SN 2018agk: A Prototypical Type Ia Supernova with a Smooth Power-law Rise in Kepler (K2)
Qinan Wang, Armin Rest, Yossef Zenati +73
We present the 30-min cadence Kepler/K2 light curve of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2018agk, covering approximately one week before explosion, the full rise phase and the decli…
SN 2017fgc: A Fast-Expanding Type Ia Supernova Exploded in Massive Shell Galaxy NGC 474
Xiangyun Zeng, Xiaofeng Wang, Ali Esamdin +31
We present extensive optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the high-velocity (HV) Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2017fgc, covering the phase from 12 d before to $…
