The Zwicky Transient Facility Bright Transient Survey. II. A Public Statistical Sample for Exploring Supernova Demographics

Daniel A. Perley, Christoffer Fremling, Jesper Sollerman +34

We present a public catalog of transients from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) Bright Transient Survey (BTS), a magnitude-limited (m<19 mag in either the g or r filter) survey…

Bright, months-long stellar outbursts announce the explosion of interaction-powered supernovae

Nora L. Strotjohann, Eran O. Ofek, Avishay Gal-Yam +53

Interaction-powered supernovae (SNe) explode within an optically-thick circumstellar medium (CSM) that could be ejected during eruptive events. To identify and characterize such pr…

SN 2018ijp: the explosion of a stripped-envelope star within a dense H-rich shell?

L. Tartaglia, J. Sollerman, C. Barbarino +24

In this paper, we discuss the outcomes of the follow-up campaign of SN 2018ijp, discovered as part of the Zwicky Transient Facility survey for optical transients. Its first spectru…

A large fraction of hydrogen-rich supernova progenitors experience elevated mass loss shortly prior to explosion

Rachel J. Bruch, Avishay Gal-Yam, Steve Schulze +43

Spectroscopic detection of narrow emission lines traces the presence of circumstellar mass distributions around massive stars exploding as core-collapse supernovae. Transient emiss…

The Palomar Transient Factory Core-Collapse Supernova Host-Galaxy Sample. I. Host-Galaxy Distribution Functions and Environment-Dependence of CCSNe

Steve Schulze, Ofer Yaron, Jesper Sollerman +51

Several thousand core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) of different flavors have been discovered so far. However, identifying their progenitors has remained an outstanding open question…
