On the environments of type Ia supernovae within host galaxies
J. P. Anderson, P. A. James, F. Förster +4
We present constraints on supernovae type Ia (SNe~Ia) progenitors through an analysis of the environments found at the explosion sites of 102 events within star-forming host galaxi…
PESSTO : survey description and products from the first data release by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects
S. J. Smartt, S. Valenti, M. Fraser +99
The Public European Southern Observatory Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO) began as a public spectroscopic survey in April 2012. We describe the data reduction str…
OGLE-2013-SN-079: a lonely supernova consistent with a helium shell detonation
C. Inserra, S. A. Sim, L. Wyrzykowski +31
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 progenitors of calcium-rich transients are not formed in situ
Joe Lyman, Andrew Levan, Ross Church +2
We present deep VLT and HST observations of the nearest examples of calcium-rich 'gap' transients -- rapidly evolving transient events, with a luminosity intermediate between novae…
Bolometric light curves and explosion parameters of 38 stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae
Joe Lyman, David Bersier, Phil James +4
Literature data are collated for 38 stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae (SE SNe; i.e. SNe IIb, Ib, Ic and Ic-BL) that have good light curve coverage in more than one optical…
Environments of interacting transients: Impostors and type IIn supernovae
Stacey Habergham, Joseph Anderson, Phil James +1
This paper presents one of the first environmental analyses of the locations of the class of `interacting transients', namely type IIn supernovae and supernova Impostors. We discus…
