Journal ArticleDOI

iPTF Archival Search for Fast Optical Transients

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported a search for dirty fireballs with an initial Lorentz factor smaller than that of classical Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), appearing as transients that fade overnight.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery and Follow-up Observations of the Young Type Ia Supernova 2016coj

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed high-quality photometry, low- and high-resolution spectroscopy, and spectropolarimetry, finding that SN 2016coj is a spectroscopically normal supernova, but the velocity of Si II λ6355 around peak brightness (~12,600 km s^(-1)) is a bit higher than that of typical normal SNe.

Studying the Ultraviolet Spectrum of the First Spectroscopically Confirmed Supernova at redshift two

TL;DR: In this paper, the first spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-free superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at redshift z = 2.06 was discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Supernova Program, with followup photometric data from the Hubble Space Telescope, Gemini, and the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope supplementing the DES data.
