TL;DR: The most distant superluminous supernova (SLSN) spectroscopically confirmed to date is DES15E2mlf as discussed by the authors, which has a stellar mass of 3.5+3.4 × 109 M, which is more massive than the typical SLSN-I host galaxy.
Journal ArticleDOI
SN2002es-LIKE SUPERNOVAE FROM DIFFERENT VIEWING ANGLES
Yi Cao,Shrinivas R. Kulkarni,Avishay Gal-Yam,S. Papadogiannakis,Peter Nugent,Peter Nugent,Frank J. Masci,Brian D. Bue +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare optical light curves of two SN2002es-like Type Ia supernovae (SNe), iPTF14atg and iPTF 14dpk, from the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Search for precursor eruptions among Type IIb supernovae
Nora L. Strotjohann,Eran O. Ofek,Avishay Gal-Yam,Mark Sullivan,Shrinivas R. Kulkarni,Nir J. Shaviv,Nir J. Shaviv,Christoffer Fremling,Mansi M. Kasliwal,Peter Nugent,Peter Nugent,Yi Cao,Iair Arcavi,Iair Arcavi,Jesper Sollerman,Alexei V. Filippenko,O. Yaron,Russ R. Laher,Jason Surace +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) pre-explosion observations of a sample of 27 nearby Type IIb supernovae to look for such precursors during the final years prior to the SN explosion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supernova PTF12glz: a possible shock breakout driven through an aspherical wind
Maayane T. Soumagnac,Eran O. Ofek,Avishay Gal-Yam,Eli Waxmann,Sivan Ginzburg,Nora L. Strotjohann,Tom A. Barlow,Ehud Behar,Doron Chelouche,Christoffer Fremling,Noam Ganot,Suvi Gerazi,Mansi M. Kasliwal,Shai Kaspi,Shrinivas R. Kulkarni,Russ R. Laher,Dan Maoz,Christopher Martin,Ehud Nakar,James D. Neill,Peter Nugent,Dovi Poznanski,Steve Schulze,Ofer Yaron +23 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present visible-light and ultraviolet (UV) observations of the supernova PTF12glz and show that at early times, while the freely expanding ejecta are presumably masked by the optically thick CSM, the radius of the blackbody that best fits the observations grows at ~7000 km/s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Millions of Multiples: Detecting and Characterizing Close-Separation Binary Systems in Synoptic Sky Surveys
Emil Terziev,Nicholas M. Law,Iair Arcavi,Christoph Baranec,Joshua S. Bloom,Khanh Bui,Mahesh P. Burse,Pravin Chorida,H. K. Das,Richard Dekany,Adam L. Kraus,Shrinivas R. Kulkarni,Peter Nugent,Eran O. Ofek,Sujit Punnadi,Anamparambu N. Ramaprakash,Reed Riddle,Shriharsh P. Tendulkar +17 more
TL;DR: BinaryFinder as discussed by the authors uses point-spread-functions (PSF) ellipticity measurements across wide-field survey images to search for close binaries by using precision measurements of PSF ellipticity across wide field images.
