Observations of SN 2017ein Reveal Shock Breakout Emission and A Massive Progenitor Star for a Type Ic Supernova
Danfeng Xiang, Xiaofeng Wang, Jun Mo +23
We present optical and ultraviolet observations of nearby type Ic supernova SN 2017ein as well as detailed analysis of its progenitor properties from both the early-time observatio…
The Cold and Dusty Circumstellar Matter around Fast-expanding Type Ia Supernovae
Xiaofeng Wang, Jia Chen, Lifan Wang +5
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) play key roles in revealing the accelerating expansion of the universe, but our knowledge about their progenitors is still very limited. Here we report…
The Ultraviolet Colors of Type Ia Supernovae and their Photospheric Velocities
Peter J. Brown, Jonathan M. Perry, Britton A. Beeny +2
We compare ultraviolet (UV) and optical colors of a sample of 29 type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed with the Swift satellite's UltraViolet Optical Telescope (UVOT) with theoretic…
Seeing Double: ASASSN-18bt Exhibits a Two-Component Rise in the Early-Time K2 Light Curve
B. J. Shappee, T. W. -s. Holoien, M. R. Drout +109
On 2018 Feb. 4.41, the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) discovered ASASSN-18bt in the K2 Campaign 16 field. With a redshift of z=0.01098 and a peak apparent magnit…
Optical Observations of the Young Type Ic Supernova SN 2014L in M99
Jujia Zhang, Xiaofeng Wang, József Vinkó +22
We present optical spectroscopic and photometric observations of the nearby type Ic supernova (SN Ic) SN 2014L. This SN was discovered by the Tsinghua-NAOC Transient Survey (TNTS)…
Optical Observations of the 2002cx-like Supernova 2014ek, and Characterizations of SNe Iax
Linyi Li, Xiaofeng Wang, Jujia Zhang +14
We present optical observations of supernova (SN) 2014ek discovered during the Tsinghua-NAOC Transient Survey (TNTS), which shows properties that are consistent with those of SN 20…
Mapping Circumstellar Matter with Polarized Light - The Case of Supernova 2014J in M82
Yi Yang, Lifan Wang, Dietrich Baade +11
Optical polarimetry is an effective way of probing the environment of supernova for dust. We acquired linear HST ACS/WFC polarimetry in bands , , and of the s…
