Supernova 2013fc in a circumnuclear ring of a luminous infrared galaxy: the big brother of SN 1998S

T. Kangas, S. Mattila, E. Kankare +30

We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2013fc, a bright type II supernova (SN) in a circumnuclear star-forming ring in the luminous infrared galaxy ESO 154-G01…

LSQ13fn: A type II-Plateau supernova with a possibly low metallicity progenitor that breaks the standardised candle relation

J. Polshaw, R. Kotak, L. Dessart +20

We present optical imaging and spectroscopy of supernova (SN) LSQ13fn, a type II supernova with several hitherto-unseen properties. Although it initially showed strong symmetric sp…

Four and one more: The formation history and total mass of globular clusters in the Fornax dSph

T. J. L. de Boer, M. Fraser

We have determined the detailed star formation history and total mass of the globular clusters in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal using archival HST WFPC2 data. Colour magnitude diagra…

On type IIn/Ia-CSM supernovae as exemplified by SN 2012ca

C. Inserra, M. Fraser, S. J. Smartt +15

We present the complete set of ultra-violet, optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy for SN 2012ca, covering the period from 6~days prior to maximum light, until 531…

The disappearance of the progenitor of SN 2012aw in late-time imaging

M. Fraser

We present new late-time near-infrared imaging of the site of the nearby core-collapse supernova SN 2012aw, confirming the disappearance of the point source identified by Fraser et…

LSQ14bdq: A Type Ic super-luminous supernova with a double-peaked light curve

M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt, A. Jerkstrand +28

We present data for LSQ14bdq, a hydrogen-poor super-luminous supernova (SLSN) discovered by the La Silla QUEST survey and classified by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Trans…
