The undetectable fraction of core-collapse supernovae in luminous infrared galaxies -- II. GSAOI/GeMS dataset
I. Mäntynen, E. Kankare, S. Mattila +7
Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) in luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) can have extreme line-of-sight host galaxy dust extinctions, which leads to a large fraction of the events re…
Optical Spectroscopy of Type Ia Supernovae by the Carnegie Supernova Projects I and II
N. Morrell, M. M. Phillips, G. Folatelli +57
We present the second and final release of optical spectroscopy of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) obtained during the first and second phases of the Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP-I…
A dust-enshrouded tidal disruption event with a resolved radio jet in a galaxy merger
S. Mattila, M. Pérez-Torres, A. Efstathiou +33
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are transient flares produced when a star is ripped apart by the gravitational field of a supermassive black hole (SMBH). We have observed a transien…
First results from GeMS/GSAOI for project SUNBIRD: Supernovae UNmasked By Infra-Red Detection
E. C. Kool, S. Ryder, E. Kankare +13
Core collapse supernova (CCSN) rates suffer from large uncertainties as many CCSNe exploding in regions of bright background emission and significant dust extinction remain unobser…
Mary, a pipeline to aid discovery of optical transients
Igor Andreoni, Colin Jacobs, Sarah Hegarty +3
The ability to quickly detect transient sources in optical images and trigger multi-wavelength follow up is key for the discovery of fast transients. These include events rare and…
Predicting the Presence of Companions for Stripped-Envelope Supernovae: The Case of the Broad-Lined Type Ic SN 2002ap
E. Zapartas, S. E. de Mink, S. D. Van Dyk +10
Many young, massive stars are found in close binaries. Using population synthesis simulations we predict the likelihood of a companion star being present when these massive stars e…
Core-collapse and Type Ia supernovae with the SKA
M. A. Pérez-Torres, A. Alberdi, R. J. Beswick +10
Core-collapse SNe (CCSNe): Systematic searches of radio emission from CCSNe are still lacking, and only targeted searches of radio emission from just some of the optically discover…
SN 2005at - A neglected type Ic supernova at 10 Mpc
E. Kankare, M. Fraser, S. Ryder +7
We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of a reddened type Ic supernova (SN) 2005at. We report our results based on the available data of SN 2005at, including late-time ob…
The nature of supernovae 2010O and 2010P in Arp 299 - II. Radio emission
C. Romero-Cañizales, R. Herrero-Illana, M. A. Pérez-Torres +8
We report radio observations of two stripped-envelope supernovae (SNe), 2010O and 2010P, which exploded within a few days of each other in the luminous infrared galaxy Arp 299. Whi…
Super Star Clusters in Luminous Infrared Galaxies: the SUNBIRD Survey
P. Vaisanen, Z. Randriamanakoto, A. Escala +7
We present recent results from an adaptive optics imaging survey of 40 Luminous IR Galaxies (LIRGs) searching for obscured core collapse supernovae and studying the galaxies themse…
The nature of supernovae 2010O and 2010P in Arp 299 - I. Near-infrared and optical evolution
E. Kankare, S. Mattila, S. Ryder +10
We present near-infrared and optical photometry, plus optical spectroscopy of two stripped-envelope supernovae (SNe) 2010O and 2010P that exploded in two different components of an…
Near-infrared adaptive optics imaging of infrared luminous galaxies: the brightest cluster magnitude - star formation rate relation
Zara Randriamanakoto, Andres Escala, Petri Vaisanen +4
We have established a relation between the brightest super star cluster magnitude in a galaxy and the host star formation rate (SFR) for the first time in the near infrared (NIR).…
Core-collapse supernovae missed by optical surveys
S. Mattila, T. Dahlen, A. Efstathiou +7
We estimate the fraction of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) that remain undetected by optical SN searches due to obscuration by large amounts of dust in their host galaxies. This…
Discovery of Two Supernovae in the Nuclear Regions of the Luminous Infrared Galaxy IC 883
E. Kankare, S. Mattila, S. Ryder +10
We report the discovery of two consecutive supernovae (SNe), 2010cu and 2011hi, located at 0.37" (180 pc) and 0.79" (380 pc) projected distance respectively from the centre of the…
Adaptive optics imaging and optical spectroscopy of a multiple merger in a luminous infrared galaxy
P. Vaisanen, S. Mattila, A. Kniazev +16
(abridged) We present near-infrared (NIR) adaptive optics imaging obtained with VLT/NACO and optical spectroscopy from the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) of a luminous inf…
