    • A comparative study of Type II-P and II-L supernova rise times as exemplified by the case of LSQ13cuw 
      Gall, H.; Polshaw, J.; Kotak, R.; Jerkstrand, A.; Leibundgut, B.; Rabinowitz, D.; Sollerman, J.; Sullivan, M.; Smartt, S.; Anderson, J.; Benetti, S.; Baltay, C.; Feindt, U.; Fraser, M.; González Gaitán, Santiago; Inserra, C.; Maguire, K.; McKinnon, R.; Valenti, S.; Young, D. (EDP Sciences, 2015)
      We report on our findings based on the analysis of observations of the Type II-L supernova LSQ13cuw within the framework of currently accepted physical predictions of core-collapse supernova explosions. LSQ13cuw was ...

(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2016)
      We present DES14X3taz, a new hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) supernova program, with additional photometric data provided by the Survey Using DECam for Superluminous ...
    • On the triple peaks of SNHunt248 in NGC 5806* 
      Kankare, E.; Kotak, R.; Pastorello, A.; Fraser, M.; Mattila, S.; Smartt, S.; Bruce, A.; Chambers, K.; Elias Rosa, N.; Flewelling, H.; Fremling, C.; Harmanen, J.; Huber, M.; Jerkstrand, A.; Kangas, T.; Kuncarayakti, Hanindyo; Magee, M.; Magnier, E.; Polshaw, J.; Smith, K.; Sollerman, j.; Tomasella, L. (EDP Sciences, 2015)
      We present our findings on a supernova (SN) impostor, SNHunt248, based on optical and near-IR data spanning ∼15 yr before discovery, to ∼1 yr post-discovery. The light curve displays three distinct peaks, the brightest ...

(Oxford Univ Press, 2015)
      We present the results of a photometric and spectroscopic monitoring campaign of SN 2012ec, which exploded in the spiral galaxy NGC 1084, during the photospheric phase. The photometric light curve exhibits a plateau with ...
