We present observational data for a peculiar supernova discovered by the OGLE-IV survey and followed by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey for Transient Objects. The inferred reds…
The host galaxy and late-time evolution of the Super-Luminous Supernova PTF12dam
T. -W. Chen, S. J. Smartt, A. Jerkstrand +14
Super-luminous supernovae of type Ic have a tendency to occur in faint host galaxies which are likely to have low mass and low metallicity. PTF12dam is one of the closest and best…
Super-luminous supernovae from PESSTO
M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt, A. Jerkstrand +29
We present optical spectra and light curves for three hydrogen-poor super-luminous supernovae followed by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO). Time se…
