Journal ArticleDOI
From core collapse to superluminous: the rates of massive stellar explosions from the Palomar Transient Factory
Chris Frohmaier,C. Angus,C. Angus,M. Vincenzi,Mark Sullivan,M. Smith,M. Smith,Peter Nugent,Peter Nugent,S. B. Cenko,S. B. Cenko,Avishay Gal-Yam,Shri Kulkarni,Nicholas M. Law,Robert M. Quimby,Robert M. Quimby +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a Monte Carlo simulation of hundreds of millions of SN light curve realizations coupled with the detailed PTF survey detection efficiencies to forward-model the SN rates in PTF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metallicity from Type II supernovae from the (i)PTF
Francesco Taddia,P. Moquist,Jesper Sollerman,Adam Rubin,Giorgos Leloudas,Giorgos Leloudas,Avishay Gal-Yam,Iair Arcavi,Iair Arcavi,Yi Cao,Alexei V. Filippenko,Melissa L. Graham,Paolo A. Mazzali,Peter Nugent,Peter Nugent,Yen-Chen Pan,J. M. Silverman,Dong Xu,Ofer Yaron +18 more
TL;DR: The spectral models of Dessart et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the pseudo-equivalent width of Fe II λ5018 (pEW_(5018)) during the plateau phase depends on the primordial Z, but there was a paucity of SNe IIP exhibiting pEW-5018 that were compatible with Z < 0.4 Z⊙.
Journal ArticleDOI
The detection rate of early UV emission from supernovae: A dedicated GALEX/PTF survey and calibrated theoretical estimates
Noam Ganot,Avishay Gal-Yam,Eran O. Ofek,Ilan Sagiv,Eli Waxman,Ofer Lapid,Shrinivas R. Kulkarni,S. Ben-Ami,Mansi M. Kasliwal,Doron Chelouche,Stephen E.

Bloom,Peter Nugent,Mark Sullivan +24 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first results from a simultaneous GALEX/PTF search for early UV emission from core collapse supernovae (SNe) and compare their detection rate with theoretical estimates based on early, shock-cooling UV light curves calculated from models that fit existing Swift and GalEX observations, combined with volumetric SN rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vogt,P. Wozniak +25 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the temporal variability of narrow absorption lines in high-resolution spectra of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) to search for circumstellar matter.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of 507 spectra of 173 stripped-envelope supernovae (SNe) discovered by the untargeted Palomar Transient Factory and intermediate PTF (iPTF) surveys was presented.
