    • The Intermediate Luminosity Optical Transient Sn 2010da: The Progenitor, Eruption, and Aftermath of a Peculiar Supergiant High-Mass X-Ray Binary 

      Villar, Victoria Ashley; Berger, Edo; Chornock, R.; Margutti, R.; Laskar, T.; Brown, P. J.; Blanchard, Peter Kelly; Czekala, Ian Philip; Lunnan, R.; Reynolds, M. T. (American Astronomical Society, 2016)
      We present optical spectroscopy, ultraviolet-to-infrared imaging, and X-ray observations of the intermediate luminosity optical transient (ILOT) SN 2010da in NGC 300 (d = 1.86 Mpc) spanning from −6 to +6 years relative to ...

    • PS1-14bj: A Hydrogen-poor Superluminous Supernova with a Long Rise and Slow Decay. 

      Lunnan, R.; Chornock, R.; Berger, Edo; Milisavljevic, Danny; Jones, D. O.; Rest, A.; Fong, W.; Fransson, C.; Margutti, R.; Drout, M. R.; Blanchard, Peter Kelly; Challis, P.; Cowperthwaite, Philip Steven; Foley, R. J.; Kirshner, Robert P.; Morrell, N.; Riess, A. G.; Roth, K. C.; Scolnic, D.; Smartt, S. J.; Smith, K. W.; Villar, Victoria Ashley; Chambers, K. C.; Draper, P. W.; Huber, M. E.; Kaiser, N.; Kudritzki, R.-P.; Magnier, E. A.; Metcalfe, N.; Waters, C. (American Astronomical Society, 2016)
      We present photometry and spectroscopy of PS1-14bj, a hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova (SLSN) at redshift z = 0.5215 discovered in the last months of the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey. PS1-14bj stands out by its ...
