TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the discovery of PTF 10vgv, a Type Ic supernova (SN) detected by the Palomar Transient Factory, using the P48 telescope.
Journal ArticleDOI
PTF10ops – a subluminous, normal-width light curve Type Ia supernova in the middle of nowhere
Kate Maguire,Mark Sullivan,R. C. Thomas,R. C. Thomas,Peter Nugent,Peter Nugent,D. A. Howell,D. A. Howell,Avishay Gal-Yam,Iair Arcavi,Sagi Ben-Ami,S. Blake,J. Botyanszki,J. Botyanszki,C. Buton,Jeff Cooke,Richard S. Ellis,I. M. Hook,I. M. Hook,Mansi M. Kasliwal,Yen-Chen Pan,R. Pereira,P. Podsiadlowski,Assaf Sternberg,Nao Suzuki,Dong Xu,O. Yaron,Josh Bloom,S. B. Cenko,Shrinivas R. Kulkarni,Nicholas M. Law,Eran O. Ofek,Dovi Poznanski,Dovi Poznanski,R. M. Quimby +34 more
TL;DR: PTF10ops is a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) whose light curve and spectral properties place it outside the current SN Ia subtype classifications as discussed by the authors, but it has a normal-width light curve with a long rise time, typical of normal-luminosity SNe Ia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Snapshot Distances to Type Ia Supernovae -- All in ``One'' Night's Work
Adam G. Riess,Peter Nugent,Alexei V. Filippenko,Robert P. Kirshner,Saul Perlmutter,Saul Perlmutter +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an empirical method that measures the distance to a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) with a precision of ~10% from a single night's data is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct evidence for a supernova interacting with a large amount of hydrogen-free circumstellar material
Sagi Ben-Ami,Avishay Gal-Yam,Paolo A. Mazzali,Maryam Modjaz,Itay Rabinak,Mark Sullivan,Lars Bildsten,Dovi Poznanski,O. Yaron,Iair Arcavi,Joshua S. Bloom,Assaf Horesh,Mansi M. Kasliwal,Shrinivas R. Kulkarni,Peter Nugent,Eran O. Ofek,Daniel A. Perley,Robert M. Quimby,Dong Xu +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a Type Ic SNe lacking spectroscopic signatures of H and He was observed to have a slowly-declining light curve and a blue quasi-continuum and narrow oxygen emission lines.
Journal ArticleDOI
