Superluminous Supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey

C. R. Angus, M. Smith, M. Sullivan +72

We present a sample of 21 hydrogen-free superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I), and one hydrogen-rich SLSN (SLSN-II) detected during the five-year Dark Energy Survey (DES). These SNe,…

First Cosmological Results using Type Ia Supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey: Measurement of the Hubble Constant

E. Macaulay, R. C. Nichol, D. Bacon +106

We present an improved measurement of the Hubble constant (H_0) using the 'inverse distance ladder' method, which adds the information from 207 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the…

First Cosmology Results using Type Ia Supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey: Constraints on Cosmological Parameters

T. M. C. Abbott, S. Allam, P. Andersen +141

We present the first cosmological parameter constraints using measurements of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program (DES-SN). The analysis uses…

Evidence for diffuse molecular gas and dust in the hearts of gamma-ray burst host galaxies

J. Bolmer, C. Ledoux, P. Wiseman +17

Here we built up a sample of 22 GRBs at redshifts observed with X-shooter to determine the abundances of hydrogen, metals, dust, and molecular species. This allows us to st…

SN 2017ens: The Metamorphosis of a Luminous Broad-lined Type Ic Supernova into an SN IIn

T. -W. Chen, C. Inserra, M. Fraser +46

We present observations of supernova (SN) 2017ens, discovered by the ATLAS survey and identified as a hot blue object through the GREAT program. The redshift z=0.1086 implies a pea…

Rapidly evolving transients in the Dark Energy Survey

M. Pursiainen, M. Childress, M. Smith +79

We present the results of a search for rapidly evolving transients in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Programme. These events are characterized by fast light curve evolution (rise…
