Modern Supernova Search
نویسنده
چکیده
Supernovae play a critical role in observational cosmology as well as in astrophysics of stars and galaxies. Recent era has seen dramatic progress in the research of supernovae. Several programs to search systematically supernovae in nearby to distant galaxies have been very successful. Recent progresses in the modern supernova search are reviewed.

The Exceptionally Luminous Type Ii-linear Supernova 2008es
We report on our early photometric and spectroscopic observations of the extremely luminous Type II supernova (SN) 2008es. With an observed peak optical magnitude of mV = 17.8 and at a redshift z = 0.213, SN 2008es had a peak absolute magnitude of MV = −22.3, making it the second most luminous SN ever observed. The photometric evolution of SN 2008es exhibits a fast decline rate (∼0.042 mag d), ...
متن کاملSearch for radiation above 20 TeV from supernova remnants in our galaxy HEGRA collaboration
It is generally assumed that supernova remnants are powerful cosmic accelerators and that they are most likely the origin of VHE and UHE cosmic radiation. The HEGRA collaboration reports on a systematic search for gamma radiation from all known supernova remnants smaller than 40 0 in the eld of view of the Cerenkov array AIROBICC.
متن کاملConstraints on a new alternative model to dark energy
The recent type Ia supernova data suggest that the Universe is accelerating now and decelerated in recent past. This may provide the evidence that the standard Friedmann equation needs to be modified. We analyze in detail a new model in the context of modified Friedmann equation using the supernova data published by the High-z Supernova Search Team and the Supernova Cosmology Project. The new m...
متن کاملNeutron Stars in Supernova Remnants and Beyond
We discuss a concept of off-centred cavity supernova explosion as applied to neutron star/supernova remnant associations and show how this concept could be used to preclude the anti-humane decapitating the Duck (G 5.4−1.2 + G 5.27−0.9) and dismembering the Swan (Cygnus Loop), as well as to search for a stellar remnant associated with the supernova remnant RCW86.
متن کاملNear-IR search for lensed supernovae behind galaxy clusters
Aims. Powerful gravitational telescopes in the form of massive galaxy clusters can be used to enhance the light collecting power over a limited field of view by about an order of magnitude in flux. This effect is exploited here to increase the depth of a survey for lensed supernovae at near-IR wavelengths. Methods. We present a pilot supernova search programme conducted with the ISAAC camera at...
