SN Refsdal: Classification as a Luminous and Blue SN 1987A-like Type II Supernova

P. L. Kelly, G. Brammer, J. Selsing +19

We have acquired Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Very Large Telescope near-infrared spectra and images of supernova (SN) Refsdal after its discovery as an Einstein cross in Fall 2…

Deja Vu All Over Again: The Reappearance of Supernova Refsdal

P. L. Kelly, S. A. Rodney, T. Treu +21

In Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging taken on 10 November 2014, four images of supernova (SN) "Refsdal" (redshift z=1.49) appeared in an Einstein-cross--like configuration (imag…

Analyzing the Largest Spectroscopic Dataset of Stripped Supernovae to Improve Their Identifications and Constrain Their Progenitors

Yu-Qian Liu, Maryam Modjaz, Federica B. Bianco +1

Using the largest spectroscopic dataset of stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae (stripped SNe), we present a systematic investigation of spectral properties of Type IIb SNe (…

Stripped-envelope supernova rates and host-galaxy properties

Or Graur, Federica B. Bianco, Maryam Modjaz +4

The progenitors of stripped-envelope supernovae (SNe Ibc) remain to be conclsuively identified, but correlations between SN rates and host-galaxy properties can constrain progenito…

The Rate of Core Collapse Supernovae to Redshift 2.5 From The CANDELS and CLASH Supernova Surveys

Louis-Gregory Strolger, Tomas Dahlen, Steven A. Rodney +6

The Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) and Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH) multi-cycle treasury programs with the Hub…

The Spectral SN-GRB Connection: Systematic Spectral Comparisons between Type Ic Supernovae, and broad-lined Type Ic Supernovae with and without Gamma-Ray Bursts

Maryam Modjaz, Yuqian Q. Liu, Federica B. Bianco +1

We present the first systematic investigation of spectral properties of 17 Type Ic Supernovae (SNe Ic), 10 broad-lined SNe Ic (SNe Ic-bl) without observed Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) a…

Two Type Ia Supernovae at Redshift ~2 : Improved Classification and Redshift Determination with Medium-band Infrared Imaging

Steven A. Rodney, Adam G. Riess, Daniel M. Scolnic +9

We present two supernovae (SNe) discovered with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS), an HST multi-cycle…

Monte Carlo Method for Calculating Oxygen Abundances and Their Uncertainties from Strong-Line Flux Measurements

Federica B. Bianco, Maryam Modjaz, Seung Man Oh +4

We present the open-source Python code pyMCZ that determines oxygen abundance and its distribution from strong emission lines in the standard metallicity calibrators, based on the…

Late-Time Photometry of Type Ia Supernova SN 2012cg Reveals the Radioactive Decay of Co

Or Graur, David Zurek, Michael M. Shara +3

Seitenzahl et al. (2009) have predicted that roughly three years after its explosion, the light we receive from a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) will come mostly from reprocessing of el…
