SN 2010jp (PTF10aaxi): a jet in a Type II supernova

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present photometry and spectroscopy of the peculiar Type II supernova (SN) SN 2010jp, also named PTF10aaxi, and propose that this line profile indicates a bipolar jet-driven explosion, with the central component produced by normal SN ejecta and CSM interaction at mid and low latitudes, while the high-velocity bumps and broad-line wings arise in a nonrelativistic bipolar jet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery and early multi-wavelength measurements of the energetic type Ic supernova PTF12gzk: a massive-star explosion in a dwarf host galaxy

Sagi Ben-Ami, +54 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the discovery and extensive early-time observations of the Type Ic supernova PTF12gzk have been presented, and a dense spectral sequence is used to estimate the physical parameters of the exploding star and of the explosion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carnegie supernova project-II: Extending the near-infrared hubble diagram for type ia supernovae to z∼0.1 ∗

TL;DR: The Carnegie Supernova Project-II (CSP-II) was an NSF-funded, four-year program to obtain optical and near-infrared observations of a “Cosmology” sample of ∼100 TypeIa supernovae located in the smooth Hubble flow as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

K2 Observations of SN 2018oh Reveal a Two-Component Rising Light Curve for a Type Ia Supernova

Georgios Dimitriadis, +147 more
TL;DR: In this article, a 30-min cadence Kepler (K2) light curve of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2018oh (ASASSN-18bt) is presented, starting weeks before explosion and covering the moment of explosion and subsequent rise, and continuing past peak brightness.
Journal ArticleDOI

A mildly relativistic outflow from the energetic, fast-rising blue optical transient CSS161010 in a dwarf galaxy

Deanne L. Coppejans, +46 more
TL;DR: Coppejans et al. as discussed by the authors presented X-ray and radio observations of the Fast Blue Optical Transient CRTS-CSS161010 J045834-081803 at t = 69-531 days.
