- Description:
- We present optical observations of the Type Ia supernova (SN) 2019ein, starting two days after the estimated explosion date. The spectra and light curves show that SN 2019ein belongs to a high-velocity (HV) and broad-line group with a relatively rapid decline in the light curves ({Delta}m_15_(B)=1.36+/-0.02mag) and a short rise time (15.37+/-0.55days). The SiII{lambda}6355 velocity, associated with a photospheric component but not with a detached high-velocity feature, reached ~20000km/s 12 days before the B-band maximum. The line velocity, however, decreased very rapidly and smoothly toward maximum light, to ~13000km/s, which is relatively low among HV SNe. This indicates that the speed of the spectral evolution of HV SNe Ia is correlated with not only the velocity at maximum light, but also the light-curve decline rate, as is the case for normal-velocity (NV) SNeIa. Spectral synthesis modeling shows that the outermost layer at >17000km/s is well described by an O-Ne-C burning layer extending to at least 25000km/s, and there is no unburnt carbon below 30000km/s; these properties are largely consistent with the delayed detonation scenario and are shared with the prototypical HV SN 2002bo despite the large difference in {Delta}m_15_(B). This structure is strikingly different from that derived for the well-studied NV SN 2011fe. We suggest that the relation between the mass of ^56^Ni (or {Delta}m_15_) and the extent of the O-Ne-C burning layer provides an important constraint on the explosion mechanism(s) of HV and NV SNe.

- Description:
- We have conducted a systematic and comprehensive monitoring programme of the type Ia supernova 2000cx at late phases using the VLT and HST. The VLT observations cover phases 360 to 480 days past maximum brightness and include photometry in the BVRIJH bands, together with a single epoch in each of U and Ks.

- Title:
- UBVRI light-curves of SN 2005cf
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present early-time optical and near-infrared photometry of supernova (SN) 2005cf. The observations, spanning a period from about 12d before to 3 months after maximum, have been obtained through the coordination of observational efforts of various nodes of the European Supernova Collaboration and including data obtained at the 2-m Himalayan Chandra Telescope. From the observed light curve we deduce that SN 2005cf is a fairly typical SN Ia with a post-maximum decline [{delta}m15(B)true=1.12] close to the average value and a normal luminosity of M_B,max_=-19.39+/-0.33. Models of the bolometric light curve suggest a synthesized ^56^Ni mass of about 0.7M_{sun}_. The negligible host galaxy interstellar extinction and its proximity make SN 2005cf a good Type Ia SN template.

- Description:
- CCD UBVRI photometry is presented for type IIb SN 2011dh for about 300 days. The main photometric parameters are derived and the comparison with SNe of similar types is reported. The light curves are similar to those for SN IIb 2008ax, but the initial flash is stronger and very short, and there are humps on the light curves in U and B at the onset of linear decline. Preliminary modeling is carried out, and the results are compared to the quasi-bolometric light curve and to the light curves in UBVRI bands.

- Description:
- 1987A-like events form a rare sub-group of hydrogen-rich core-collapse supernovae that are thought to originate from the explosion of blue supergiant stars. Although SN 1987A is the best known supernova, very few objects of this group have been discovered and, hence, studied. In this paper we investigate the properties of SN 2009E, which exploded in a relatively nearby spiral galaxy (NGC 4141) and that is probably the faintest 1987A-like supernova discovered so far. We also attempt to characterize this subgroup of core-collapse supernovae with the help of the literature and present new data for a few additional objects. The lack of early-time observations from professional telescopes is compensated by frequent follow-up observations performed by a number of amateur astronomers. This allows us to reconstruct a well-sampled light curve for SN 2009E. Spectroscopic observations which started about 2 months after the supernova explosion, highlight significant differences between SN 2009E and the prototypical SN 1987A. Modelling the data of SN 2009E allows us to constrain the explosion parameters and the properties of the progenitor star, and compare the inferred estimates with those available for the similar SNe 1987A and 1998A. The light curve of SN 2009E is less luminous than that of SN 1987A and the other members of this class, and the maximum light curve peak is reached at a slightly later epoch than in SN 1987A. Late-time photometric observations suggest that SN 2009E ejected about 0.04M_{sun}_ of ^56^Ni, which is the smallest ^56^Ni mass in our sample of 1987A-like events. Modelling the observations with a radiation hydrodynamics code, we infer for SN 2009E a kinetic plus thermal energy of about 0.6 foe, an initial radius of ~7x10^12^cm and an ejected mass of ~19M_{sun}_. The photospheric spectra show a number of narrow (v~1800km/s) metal lines, with unusually strong BaII lines. The nebular spectrum displays narrow emission lines of H, NaI, [CaII] and [OI], with the [OI] feature being relatively strong compared to the [CaII] doublet. The overall spectroscopic evolution is reminiscent of that of the faint ^56^Ni-poor type II-plateau supernovae. This suggests that SN 2009E belongs to the low-luminosity, low ^56^Ni mass, low-energy tail in the distribution of the 1987A-like objects in the same manner as SN 1997D and similar events represent the faint tail in the distribution of physical properties for normal type II-plateau supernovae.

- Description:
- We present UBVRI photometry of 44 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed from 1997 to 2001 as part of a continuing monitoring campaign at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. The data set comprises 2190 observations and is the largest homogeneously observed and reduced sample of SNe Ia to date, nearly doubling the number of well-observed, nearby SNe Ia with published multicolor CCD light curves.

- Description:
- We present optical photometry and spectroscopy of the Type IIP supernova SN 2004et that occurred in the nearby galaxy NGC 6946. The observations span a time range of 8541 d after explosion. The late time bolometric luminosity and the H{alpha} luminosity in the nebular phase indicate that 0.06+/-0.02M_{sun}_ of ^56^Ni was synthesized during the explosion. The plateau luminosity, its duration and the expansion velocity of the supernova at the middle of the plateau indicate an explosion energy of E_exp_=1.20^+0.38^_-0.30_x10^51^erg. The late time light curve and the evolution of the [OI] and H{alpha} emission-line profiles indicate the possibility of an early dust formation in the supernova ejecta. The luminosity of [OI] 6300, 6364{AA} doublet, before the dust formation phase, is found to be comparable to that of SN 1987A at similar epochs, implying an oxygen mass in the range 1.52M_{sun}_, and a main-sequence mass of 20M_{sun}_ for the progenitor.

- Description:
- We present high-cadence UV, optical, and near-infrared data on the luminous Type II-P supernova SN2017gmr from hours after discovery through the first 180 days. SN 2017gmr does not show signs of narrow, high-ionization emission lines in the early optical spectra, yet the optical light-curve evolution suggests that an extra energy source from circumstellar medium (CSM) interaction must be present for at least 2 days after explosion. Modeling of the early light curve indicates a ~500R{sun} progenitor radius, consistent with a rather compact red supergiant, and late-time luminosities indicate that up to 0.130{+/-}0.026M{sun} of 56Ni are present, if the light curve is solely powered by radioactive decay, although the 56Ni mass may be lower if CSM interaction contributes to the post-plateau luminosity. Prominent multipeaked emission lines of H{alpha} and [O^I^] emerge after day 154, as a result of either an asymmetric explosion or asymmetries in the CSM. The lack of narrow lines within the first 2 days of explosion in the likely presence of CSM interaction may be an example of close, dense, asymmetric CSM that is quickly enveloped by the spherical supernova ejecta.

- UBVRIz light curves of 51 Type II supernovae
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/151/33
- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present a compilation of UBVRIz light curves of 51 type II supernovae discovered during the course of four different surveys during 1986-2003: the Cerro Tololo Supernova Survey, the Calan/Tololo Supernova Program (C&T), the Supernova Optical and Infrared Survey (SOIRS), and the Carnegie Type II Supernova Survey (CATS). The photometry is based on template-subtracted images to eliminate any potential host galaxy light contamination, and calibrated from foreground stars. This work presents these photometric data, studies the color evolution using different bands, and explores the relation between the magnitude at maximum brightness and the brightness decline parameter (s) from maximum light through the end of the recombination phase. This parameter is found to be shallower for redder bands and appears to have the best correlation in the B band. In addition, it also correlates with the plateau duration, being shorter (longer) for larger (smaller) s values.
