Optical and near infrared coverage of SN 2004et: physical parameters and comparison with other type IIP supernovae
K. Maguire, E. Di Carlo, S. J. Smartt +22
We present new optical and near infrared (NIR) photometry and spectroscopy of the type IIP supernova, SN 2004et. In combination with already published data, this provides one of th…
On the nature of the progenitors of three type II-P supernovae: 2004et, 2006my and 2006ov
R. M. Crockett, S. J. Smartt, A. Pastorello +4
The pre-explosion observations of the type II-P supernovae 2006my, 2006ov and 2004et, are re-analysed. In the cases of supernovae 2006my and 2006ov we argue that the published cand…
Two Type Ic supernovae in low-metallicity, dwarf galaxies: diversity of explosions
D. R. Young, S. J. Smartt, S. Valenti +15
We present BVRI photometry and optical spectroscopy of two Type Ic supernovae SN 2007bg and SN 2007bi discovered in wide-field, non-targeted surveys and associated with sub-luminou…
SN 1999ga: a low-luminosity linear type II supernova?
A. Pastorello, R. M. Crockett, R. Martin +11
Type II-linear supernovae are thought to arise from progenitors that have lost most of their H envelope by the time of the explosion, and they are poorly understood because they ar…
SN 2008S: an electron capture SN from a super-AGB progenitor?
M. T. Botticella, A. Pastorello, S. J. Smartt +31
We present comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic observations of the faint transient SN 2008S discovered in NGC 6946. SN 2008S exhibited slow photometric evolution and almost…
A low energy core-collapse supernova without a hydrogen envelope
Stefano Valenti, Andrea Pastorello, Enrico Cappellaro +14
The final fate of massive stars depends on many factors, including mass, rotation rate, magnetic fields and metallicity. Theory suggests that some massive stars (initially greater…
