Archival transients detected with the MeerLICHT telescope I: Supernovae
O. Mogawana, P. J. Groot, N. Blagorodnova +9
Wide-field optical transient surveys collectively discover 50 new transients per night, making rapid, multi-filter and/or spectroscopic follow-up of all but the most exceptio…
The prevalence and influence of circumstellar material around hydrogen-rich supernova progenitors
Rachel J. Bruch, Avishay Gal-Yam, Ofer Yaron +44
Narrow transient emission lines (flash-ionization features) in early supernova (SN) spectra trace the presence of circumstellar material (CSM) around the massive progenitor stars o…
A large fraction of hydrogen-rich supernova progenitors experience elevated mass loss shortly prior to explosion
Rachel J. Bruch, Avishay Gal-Yam, Steve Schulze +43
Spectroscopic detection of narrow emission lines traces the presence of circumstellar mass distributions around massive stars exploding as core-collapse supernovae. Transient emiss…
PTF11rka: an interacting supernova at the crossroads of stripped-envelope and H-poor super-luminous stellar core collapses
Elena Pian, Paolo A. Mazzali, Takashi J. Moriya +17
The hydrogen-poor supernova PTF11rka (z = 0.0744), reported by the Palomar Transient Factory, was observed with various telescopes starting a few days after the estimated explosion…
ZTF Early Observations of Type Ia Supernovae I: Properties of the 2018 Sample
Yuhan Yao, Adam A. Miller, S. R. Kulkarni +32
Early-time observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are essential to constrain their progenitor properties. In this paper, we present high-quality light curves of 127 SNe Ia dis…
Type IIn supernova light-curve properties measured from an untargeted survey sample
A. Nyholm, J. Sollerman, L. Tartaglia +19
We present a sample of supernovae Type IIn (SNe IIn) from the untargeted, magnitude-limited surveys of the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and its successor, the intermediate PTF (…
