An Unusually Fast-Evolving Supernova
Dovi Poznanski, Ryan Chornock, Peter E. Nugent +6
Analyses of supernovae (SNe) have revealed two main types of progenitors: exploding white dwarfs and collapsing massive stars. We present SN2002bj, which stands out as different fr…
Seeking Core-Collapse Supernova Progenitors in Pre-Explosion Images
Douglas C. Leonard
I summarize what we have learned about the nature of stars that ultimately explode as core-collapse supernovae from the examination of images taken prior to the explosion. By regis…
A faint type of supernova from a white dwarf with a helium-rich companion
H. B. Perets, A. Gal-Yam, P. Mazzali +25
Supernovae (SNe) are thought to arise from two different physical processes. The cores of massive, short-lived stars undergo gravitational core collapse and typically eject a few s…
Research Science and Education: The NSF's Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship
Dara Norman, Marcel Agueros, Timothy M. Brown +29
The NSF's Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship (AAPF) is exceptional among the available postdoctoral awards in Astronomy and Astrophysics. The fellowship is one of t…
Type Ia supernova science 2010-2020
D. A. Howell, A. Conley, M. Della Valle +47
In the next decade Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) will be used to test theories predicting changes in the Dark Energy equation of state with time. Ultimately this requires a dedicated…

Dan Clemens, B. -G. Andersson, Andy Adamson +16
Science opportunities and recommendations concerning optical/infrared polarimetry for the upcoming decade in the field of Galactic science. Community-based White Paper to Astro2010…
Type II Supernovae as Probes of Cosmology
Dovi Poznanski, Eddie Baron, Stephane Blondin +26
- Constraining the cosmological parameters and understanding Dark Energy have tremendous implications for the nature of the Universe and its physical laws. - The pervasive limit of…
An Intermediate Luminosity Transient in NGC300: The Eruption of a Dust-Enshrouded Massive Star
E. Berger, A. M. Soderberg, R. A. Chevalier +10
[abridged] We present multi-epoch high-resolution optical spectroscopy, UV/radio/X-ray imaging, and archival Hubble and Spitzer observations of an intermediate luminosity optical t…
