Low‐luminosity Type II supernovae: spectroscopic and photometric evolution
In this paper we present spectroscopic and photometric observations for four core-collapsed supernovae (SNe), namely SNe 1994N, 1999br, 1999eu and 2001dc. Together with SN 1997D, we show that they…
Cepheid calibration of Type Ia supernovae and the Hubble constant
We investigate how a different calibration of the Cepheid period-luminosity (PL) relation, taking into account metallicity corrections, affects the absolute magnitude calibration of Type Ia…
Photometry and Spectroscopy of the Type IIP SN 1999em from Outburst to Dust Formation
We present photometry and spectra of the Type IIP supernova 1999em in NGC 1637 from several days after the outburst till day 642. The radioactive tail of the recovered bolometric light curve of SN…
A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source
TLDR
Observations and physical modelling of a rapidly fading electromagnetic transient in the galaxy NGC 4993, which is spatially coincident with GW170817, indicate that neutron-star mergers produce gravitational waves and radioactively powered kilonovae, and are a nucleosynthetic source of the r-process elements.
Super-luminous Type Ic Supernovae: Catching a Magnetar by the Tail
We report extensive observational data for five of the lowest redshift Super-Luminous Type Ic Supernovae (SL-SNe Ic) discovered to date, namely PTF10hgi, SN2011ke, PTF11rks, SN2011kf and SN2012il.…
Detection of Circumstellar Material in a Normal Type Ia Supernova
TLDR
The spectroscopic detection of circumstellar material in a normal type Ia supernova explosion indicates that this material was ejected from the progenitor system.
High luminosity, slow ejecta and persistent carbon lines: SN 2009dc challenges thermonuclear explosion scenarios
Extended optical and near-IR observations reveal that SN 2009dc shares a number of similarities with normal Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), but is clearly overluminous, with a (pseudo-bolometric) peak…
A giant outburst two years before the core-collapse of a massive star
TLDR
It is reported that the peculiar type Ib supernova SN 2006jc is spatially coincident with a bright optical transient that occurred in 2004, andSpectroscopic and photometric monitoring of the supernova leads us to suggest that the progenitor was a carbon-oxygen Wolf–Rayet star embedded within a helium-rich circumstellar medium.
Supernova rates from the Southern inTermediate Redshift ESO Supernova Search (STRESS)
Aims. To measure the supernova (SN) rates at intermediate redshift we performed the Southern inTermediate Redshift ESO Supernova Search (STRESS). Unlike most of the current high redshift SN searches,…
SN 2005cs in M51 – II. Complete evolution in the optical and the near-infrared
We present the results of the one-year long observational campaign of the type II plateau SN 2005cs, which exploded in the nearby spiral galaxy M51 (the Whirlpool galaxy). This extensive data set…
