    • Metamorphosis of Sn 2014c: Delayed Interaction Between a Hydrogen Poor Core-Collapse Supernova and a Nearby Circumstellar Shell 

      Milisavljevic, Danny; Margutti, R; Kamble, Atish; Patnaude, Daniel James; Raymond, John Charles; Eldridge, J. J.; Fong, W.; Bietenholz, M.; Challis, Peter M.; Chornock, R; Drout, Maria Rebecca; Fransson, C.; Fesen, R. A.; Grindlay, Jonathan E.; Kirshner, Robert P.; Lunnan, R; Mackey, J.; Miller, George Franklin; Parrent, Jerod T.; Sanders, Nathan Edward; Soderberg, Alicia M.; Zauderer, B (IOP Publishing, 2015)
      We present optical observations of supernova SN 2014C, which underwent an unprecedented slow metamorphosis from H-poor type Ib to H-rich type IIn over the course of one year. The observed spectroscopic evolution is consistent ...
    • Sn 2012au: A Golden Link Between Superluminous Supernovae and Their Lower-Luminosity Counterparts 

      Milisavljevic, Danny; Soderberg, Alicia M.; Margutti, Raffaella; Drout, Maria Rebecca; Marion, G. Howie; Sanders, Nathan Edward; Hsiao, Eric Y.; Lunnan, Ragnhild; Chornock, Ryan; Fesen, Robert A.; Parrent, Jerod T.; Levesque, Emily M.; Berger, Edo; Foley, Ryan J.; Challis, Pete; Kirshner, Robert P.; Dittmann, Jason Adam; Bieryla, Allyson; Kamble, Atish; Chakraborti, Sayan; De Rosa, Gisella; Fausnaugh, Michael; Hainline, Kevin N.; Chen, Chien-Ting; Hickox, Ryan C.; Morrell, Nidia; Phillips, Mark M.; Stritzinger, Maximilian (IOP Publishing, 2013)
      We present optical and near-infrared observations of SN 2012au, a slow-evolving supernova (SN) with properties that suggest a link between subsets of energetic and H-poor SNe and superluminous SNe. SN 2012au exhibited ...
    • SN 2015bn: A Detailed Multi-wavelength View of a Nearby Superluminous Supernova

A.; Wainscoat, R. (IOP Publishing, 2013)
      We present the Pan-STARRS1 discovery of the long-lived and blue transient PS1-11af, which was also detected by Galaxy Evolution Explorer with coordinated observations in the near-ultraviolet (NUV) band. PS1-11af is associated ...
