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…
Supersolar Ni/Fe production in the Type IIP SN 2012ec
Anders Jerkstrand, Stephen J. Smartt, Jesper Sollerman +14
SN 2012ec is a Type IIP supernova (SN) with a progenitor detection and comprehensive photospheric-phase observational coverage. Here, we present Very Large Telescope and PESSTO obs…
SN 2012ec: mass of the progenitor from PESSTO follow-up of the photospheric phase
C. Barbarino, M. Dall'Ora, M. T. Botticella +32
We present the results of a photometric and spectroscopic monitoring campaign of SN 2012ec, which exploded in the spiral galaxy NGC 1084, during the photospheric phase. The photome…
A search for \textit{Fermi} bursts associated to supernovae and their frequency of occurrence
M. Kovacevic, L. Izzo, Y. Wang +7
Context: Observations suggest that the major fraction of long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are connected with broad-lines supernovae Ib/c, (SNe-Ibc). The presence of GRB-SNe is…
Induced gravitational collapse at extreme cosmological distances: the case of GRB 090423
R. Ruffini, L. Izzo, M. Muccino +7
CONTEXT: The induced gravitational collapse (IGC) scenario has been introduced in order to explain the most energetic gamma ray bursts (GRBs), Eiso=10^{52}-10^{54}erg, associated w…
