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…
SN 1994W: evidence of explosive mass ejection a few years before explosion
Nikolai N. Chugai, Robert J. Cumming, Sergei I. Blinnikov +7
We present and analyse spectra of the Type IIn supernova 1994W obtained between 18 and 202 days after explosion. During the first 100 days the line profiles are composed of three m…
Using Multi-Band Photometry to Classify Supernovae
Dovi Poznanski, Avishay Gal-Yam, Dan Maoz +3
Large numbers of supernovae (SNe) have been discovered in recent years, and many more will be found in the near future. Once discovered, further study of a SN and its possible use…
Photometry and Spectroscopy of GRB 030329 and Its Associated Supernova 2003dh: The First Two Months
T. Matheson, P. M. Garnavich, K. Z. Stanek +4
We present extensive optical and infrared photometry of the afterglow of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 030329 and its associated supernova (SN) 2003dh over the first two months after detec…
Optical Photometry and Spectroscopy of the SN 1998bw-like Type Ic Supernova 2002ap
Ryan J. Foley, Marina S. Papenkova, Brandon J. Swift +6
We present optical photometric and spectral data of the peculiar Type Ic SN 2002ap. Photometric coverage includes UBVRI bands from 2002 January 30, the day after discovery, through…
The Cepheid Distance to NGC 1637: A Direct Test of the EPM Distance to SN 1999em
Douglas C. Leonard, Shashi M. Kanbur, Choong C. Ngeow +1
Type II-plateau supernovae (SNe II-P) are the classic variety of core-collapse events that result from isolated, massive stars with thick hydrogen envelopes intact at the time of e…
