Near-Infrared and Optical Observations of Type Ic SN 2021krf: Luminous Late-time Emission and Dust Formation
Aravind P. Ravi, Jeonghee Rho, Sangwook Park +29
We present near-infrared (NIR) and optical observations of the Type Ic supernova (SN Ic) SN 2021krf obtained between days 13 and 259 at several ground-based telescopes. The NIR spe…
The Diverse Properties of Type Icn Supernovae Point to Multiple Progenitor Channels
C. Pellegrino, D. A. Howell, G. Terreran +16
We present a sample of Type Icn supernovae (SNe Icn), a newly-discovered class of transients characterized by their interaction with H- and He-poor circumstellar material (CSM). Th…
Ultraviolet Spectroscopy and TARDIS Models of the Broad-lined Type-Ic Supernova 2014ad
Lindsey A. Kwok, Marc Williamson, Saurabh W. Jha +11
Few published ultraviolet (UV) spectra exist for stripped-envelope supernovae, and none to date for broad-lined Type Ic supernovae (SN Ic-bl). These objects have extremely high eje…
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…
The Exotic Type Ic Broad-Lined Supernova SN 2018gep: Blurring the Line Between Supernovae and Fast Optical Transients
T. A. Pritchard, Katarzyna Bensch, Maryam Modjaz +28
In the last decade a number of rapidly evolving transients have been discovered that are not easily explained by traditional supernovae models. We present optical and UV data on on…
HSC16aayt: Slowly evolving interacting transient rising for more than 100 days
Takashi J. Moriya, Masaomi Tanaka, Tomoki Morokuma +19
We report our observations of HSC16aayt (SN 2016jiu), which was discovered by the Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) transient survey conducted as part of Subaru Strategic Program (SSP…
Gravity and Light: Combining Gravitational Wave and Electromagnetic Observations in the 2020s
R. J. Foley, K. D. Alexander, I. Andreoni +110
As of today, we have directly detected exactly one source in both gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation, the binary neutron star merger GW170817, its associa…
Probing the extragalactic fast transient sky at minute timescales with DECam
Igor Andreoni, Jeffrey Cooke, Sara Webb +22
Searches for optical transients are usually performed with a cadence of days to weeks, optimised for supernova discovery. The optical fast transient sky is still largely unexplored…
First release of high-redshift superluminous supernovae from the Subaru HIgh-Z sUpernova CAmpaign (SHIZUCA). II. Spectroscopic properties
Chris Curtin, Jeff Cooke, Takashi J. Moriya +17
We present Keck spectroscopic observations of three probable high redshift superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) from the Subaru HIgh-Z sUpernova CAmpaign (SHIZUCA), confirming redshift…
First release of high-redshift superluminous supernovae from the Subaru HIgh-Z sUpernova CAmpaign (SHIZUCA). I. Photometric properties
Takashi J. Moriya, Masaomi Tanaka, Naoki Yasuda +20
We report our first discoveries of high-redshift supernovae from the Subaru HIgh-Z sUpernova CAmpaign (SHIZUCA), the transient survey using Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam. We report the…
A comparison between SALT/SAAO observations and kilonova models for AT 2017gfo: the first electromagnetic counterpart of a gravitational wave transient - GW170817
David A. H. Buckley, Igor Andreoni, Sudhanshu Barway +13
We report on SALT low resolution optical spectroscopy and optical/IR photometry undertaken with other SAAO telescopes (MASTER-SAAO and IRSF) of the kilonova AT 2017gfo (aka SSS17a)…
The Rapid Reddening and Featureless Optical Spectra of the optical counterpart of GW170817, AT 2017gfo, During the First Four Days

J. T. Parrent, D. A. Howell, R. A. Fesen +19
SN 2012dn is a super-Chandrasekhar mass candidate in a purportedly normal spiral (SAcd) galaxy, and poses a challenge for theories of type Ia supernova diversity. Here we utilize t…
