Supernovae and Their Massive Star Progenitors
Alexei V. Filippenko
I briefly describe the Lick Observatory Supernova Search with the 0.76-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope. I then present an overview of optical observations of Type II, IIb, Ib…
Spectropolarimetry of Core-Collapse Supernovae
Douglas C. Leonard, Alexei V. Filippenko
We briefly review the young field of spectropolarimetry of core-collapse supernovae (SNe). Spectropolarimetry provides the only direct known probe of early-time supernova (SN) geom…
Black Hole Mass Determinations From Orbit Superposition Models are Reliable
Douglas Richstone, Karl Gebhardt, Monique Aller +13
We show that orbit-superposition dynamical models (Schwarzschild's method) provide reliable estimates of nuclear black hole masses and errors when constructed from adequate orbit l…
Spectropolarimetric Observations of Supernovae
Alexei V. Filippenko, Douglas C. Leonard
We briefly review the existing database of supernova spectropolarimetry, concentrating on recent data and on results from our group's research. Spectropolarimetry provides the only…
Observations of Type Ia Supernovae, and Challenges for Cosmology
Weidong Li, Alexei V. Filippenko
Observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) reveal correlations between their luminosities and light-curve shapes, and between their spectral sequence and photometric sequence. Ass…
Optical, Ultraviolet, and Infrared Observations of SN 1993J
Alexei V. Filippenko, Thomas Matheson
We review the existing set of optical/UV/IR observations of Supernova 1993J, concentrating heavily on optical data because these are by far the most plentiful. Some results from th…
