Luminous supernovae

A Gal-Yam - Science, 2012 - science.org
Supernovae, the luminous explosions of stars, have been observed since antiquity.
However, various examples of superluminous supernovae (SLSNe; luminosities> 7× 1043 …

The supernova–gamma-ray burst connection

SE Woosley, JS Bloom - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2006 - annualreviews.org
Observations show that at least some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) happen simultaneously
with core-collapse supernovae (SNe), thus linking by a common thread nature's two …

The Swift gamma-ray burst mission

N Gehrels, G Chincarini, PE Giommi… - The Astrophysical …, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
The Swift mission, scheduled for launch in 2004, is a multiwavelength observatory for
gamma-ray burst (GRB) astronomy. It is a first-of-its-kind autonomous rapid-slewing satellite …

Spectroscopic discovery of the supernova 2003dh associated with GRB 030329

KZ Stanek, T Matheson, PM Garnavich… - The Astrophysical …, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
We present early observations of the afterglow of GRB 030329 and the spectroscopic
discovery of its associated supernova SN 2003dh. We obtained spectra of the afterglow of …

Observed fractions of core-collapse supernova types and initial masses of their single and binary progenitor stars

N Smith, W Li, AV Filippenko… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2011 - academic.oup.com
We analyse the observed fractions of core-collapse supernova (SN) types from the Lick
Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS), and we discuss the corresponding implications for …

[图书][B] Supernova explosions

D Branch, JC Wheeler - 2017 - Springer
JCW had long wanted to write a new monograph on supernovae. Despite an immense
explosion in the literature and many review articles, there had not been one since that of …

The farthest known supernova: support for an accelerating universe and a glimpse of the epoch of deceleration

AG Riess, PE Nugent, RL Gilliland… - The Astrophysical …, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
We present photometric observations of an apparent Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) at a redshift
of∼ 1.7, the farthest SN observed to date. The supernova, SN 1997ff, was discovered in a …

Supernovae, jets, and collapsars

AI MacFadyen, SE Woosley, A Heger - The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
We continue our study of the possible production of supernovae and a variety of high-energy
transients by black hole formation in massive stars endowed with rotation: the" collapsar …

The metamorphosis of SN 1998bw

F Patat, E Cappellaro, J Danziger… - The Astrophysical …, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
We present and discuss the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of the peculiar SN
1998bw, associated with GRB 980425, through an analysis of optical and near-IR data …

Caltech Core-Collapse Project (CCCP) observations of Type IIn supernovae: typical properties and implications for their progenitor stars

M Kiewe, A Gal-Yam, I Arcavi, DC Leonard… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
ABSTRACT Type IIn supernovae (SNe IIn) are rare events, constituting only a few percent of
all core-collapse SNe, and the current sample of well-observed SNe IIn is small. Here, we …
