Record-breaking polarization from the interacting superluminous supernova 2017hcc
Jon C. Mauerhan, Nathan Smith, G. Grant Williams +12
We present multiepoch spectropolarimetry of the superluminous interacting Type IIn supernova SN2017hcc, covering 16 to 391 days after explosion. In our first epoch we measure conti…
Infrared Spectropolarimetric Detection of Intrinsic Polarization from a Core-Collapse Supernova
Samaporn Tinyanont, Maxwell Millar-Blanchaer, Mansi Kasliwal +8
Massive stars die an explosive death as a core-collapse supernova (CCSN). The exact physical processes that cause the collapsing star to rebound into an explosion are not well-unde…
SN 2014ab: An Aspherical Type IIn Supernova with Low Polarization
Christopher Bilinski, Nathan Smith, G. Grant Williams +20
We present photometry, spectra, and spectropolarimetry of supernova (SN) 2014ab, obtained through days after peak brightness. SN 2014ab was a luminous Type IIn SN ($M_V…
Spectral signatures of H-rich material stripped from a non-degenerate companion by a Type Ia supernova
Luc Dessart, Douglas C. Leonard, Jose L. Prieto
The single-degenerate scenario for Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) should yield metal-rich ejecta that enclose some stripped material from the non-degenerate H-rich companion star. We…
The Berkeley Sample of Stripped-Envelope Supernovae
Isaac Shivvers, Alexei V. Filippenko, Jeffrey M. Silverman +22
We present the complete sample of stripped-envelope supernova (SN) spectra observed by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) collaboration over the last three decades: 888 s…
SN2012ab: A Peculiar Type IIn Supernova with Aspherical Circumstellar Material
Christopher Bilinski, Nathan Smith, G. Grant Williams +18
We present photometry, spectra, and spectropolarimetry of supernova (SN) 2012ab, mostly obtained over the course of days after discovery. SN 2012ab was a Type IIn (SN II…
