Spectropolarimetry of the 2012 outburst of SN 2009ip: a bi-polar explosion in a dense, disk-like CSM
Emma Reilly, Justyn R. Maund, Dietrich Baade +5
We present a sequence of eight spectropolarimetric observations monitoring the geometric evolution of the late phase of the major 2012 outburst of SN 2009ip. These were acquired wi…
Continuum Foreground Polarization and Na~I Absorption in Type Ia SNe
P. Zelaya, A. Clocchiatti, D. Baade +9
We present a study of the continuum polarization over the 400--600 nm range of 19 Type Ia SNe obtained with FORS at the VLT. We separate them in those that show Na I D lines at the…
Spectropolarimetry of the Type Ib Supernova iPTF 13bvn: Revealing the complex explosion geometry of a stripped-envelope core-collapse supernova
Emma Reilly, Justyn R. Maund, Dietrich Baade +8
We present six epochs of spectropolarimetric observations and one epoch of spectroscopy of the Type Ib SN iPTF 13bvn. The epochs of these observations correspond to 10 to 61…
PESSTO : survey description and products from the first data release by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects
S. J. Smartt, S. Valenti, M. Fraser +99
The Public European Southern Observatory Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO) began as a public spectroscopic survey in April 2012. We describe the data reduction str…
Properties of extragalactic dust inferred from linear polarimetry of Type Ia Supernovae
F. Patat, S. Taubenberger, N. L. J. Cox +9
Aims: The aim of this paper is twofold: 1) to investigate the properties of extragalactic dust and compare them to what is seen in the Galaxy; 2) to address in an independent way t…
A bright ultraluminous X-ray source in NGC 5907
Andrew D. Sutton, Timothy P. Roberts, Jeanette C. Gladstone +4
We present a multi-mission X-ray analysis of a bright (peak observed 0.3-10 keV luminosity of ~ 6x10^{40} erg s^{-1}), but relatively highly absorbed ULX in the edge-on spiral gala…
