The most luminous supernovae
A Gal-Yam - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2019 - annualreviews.org
Over a decade ago, a group of supernova explosions with peak luminosities far exceeding
(often by> 100 times) those of normal events has been identified. These superluminous …

The magnetar model for type I superluminous supernovae. I. Bayesian analysis of the full multicolor light-curve sample with MOSFiT
We use the new Modular Open Source Fitter for Transients to model 38 hydrogen-poor
superluminous supernovae (SLSNe). We fit their multicolor light curves with a magnetar spin …

Spectra of hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae from the palomar transient factory
RM Quimby, A De Cia, A Gal-Yam… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Most Type I superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) reported to date have been identified by
their high peak luminosities and spectra lacking obvious signs of hydrogen. We demonstrate …

Hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae from the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey
We present light curves and classification spectra of 17 hydrogen-poor superluminous
supernovae (SLSNe) from the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey (PS1 MDS). Our …

Superluminous supernovae in LSST: rates, detection metrics, and light-curve modeling
We explore and demonstrate the capabilities of the upcoming Large Synoptic Survey
Telescope (LSST) to study Type I superluminous supernovae (SLSNe). We fit the light …

The Pre-explosion Mass Distribution of Hydrogen-poor Superluminous Supernova Progenitors and New Evidence for a Mass–Spin Correlation
Despite indications that superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) originate from massive
progenitors, the lack of a uniformly analyzed statistical sample has so far prevented a …

Discovering Supernovae at the Epoch of Reionization with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
TJ Moriya, RM Quimby… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Massive stars play critical roles for the reionization of the universe. Individual massive stars
at the reionization epoch (z> 6) are too faint to observe and quantify their contributions to …

Nebular-phase spectra of superluminous supernovae: physical insights from observational and statistical properties
We study the spectroscopic evolution of superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) later than 100
days after maximum light. We present new data for Gaia16apd and SN 2017egm and …
