SN 2017gci: a nearby Type I Superluminous Supernova with a bumpy tail
Achille Fiore, Ting-Wan Chen, Anders Jerkstrand +26
We present and discuss the optical spectro-photometric observations of the nearby (z=0.087) Type I superluminous supernova (SLSN I) SN 2017gci, whose peak K-corrected absolute magn…
Type Ic supernovae from the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory
C. Barbarino, J. Sollerman, F. Taddia +8
Type Ic supernovae represent the explosions of the most stripped massive stars, but their progenitors and explosion mechanisms remain unclear. Larger samples of observed supernovae…
Bright, months-long stellar outbursts announce the explosion of interaction-powered supernovae
Nora L. Strotjohann, Eran O. Ofek, Avishay Gal-Yam +53
Interaction-powered supernovae (SNe) explode within an optically-thick circumstellar medium (CSM) that could be ejected during eruptive events. To identify and characterize such pr…
Supernova SN 2020faa -- an iPTF14hls look-alike?
S. Yang, J. Sollerman, T. -W. Chen +14
We present observations of SN 2020faa. This Type II supernova displays a luminous light curve that started to rebrighten from an initial decline. We investigate this in relation to…
The Palomar Transient Factory Core-Collapse Supernova Host-Galaxy Sample. I. Host-Galaxy Distribution Functions and Environment-Dependence of CCSNe
Steve Schulze, Ofer Yaron, Jesper Sollerman +51
Several thousand core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) of different flavors have been discovered so far. However, identifying their progenitors has remained an outstanding open question…
SuperRAENN: A Semi-supervised Supernova Photometric Classification Pipeline Trained on Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey Supernovae
V. Ashley Villar, Griffin Hosseinzadeh, Edo Berger +18
Automated classification of supernovae (SNe) based on optical photometric light curve information is essential in the upcoming era of wide-field time domain surveys, such as the Le…
