abstract

We report observations of the hydrogen-deficient supernova (SN) 2019bkc/ATLAS19dqr. With B- and r-band decline between peak and 10 days post peak of Delta m_10(B)=5.24+/-0.07 mag and Delta m_10(r)=3.85+/-0.10$ mag, respectively, SN 2019bkc is the most rapidly declining SN I discovered so far. While its closest matches are the rapidly declining SN 2005ek and SN 2010X, the light curves and spectra of SN 2019bkc show some unprecedented characteristics. SN 2019bkc appears "hostless," with no identifiable host galaxy near its location, although it may be associated with the galaxy cluster MKW1 at z = 0.02. We evaluate a number of existing models of fast-evolving SNe, and we find that none of them can satisfactorily explain all aspects of SN 2019bkc observations.

  1. Implications of the UV/optical Plateau of AT2018cow

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A wind-and-irradiation disk model fits the AT2018cow UV plateau with accretor masses from 1.4 to ~100 solar masses, removing the need for a >200 solar-mass black hole.

  2. The Progenitors of Calcium-Strong Transients

    astro-ph.HE 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Calcium-strong transients may originate from rare binary stars formed dynamically in globular clusters and ejected before exploding, matching their observed wide offsets from host galaxies.

  3. Observational properties of extreme supernovae

    astro-ph.HE 2019-08 conditional novelty 1.0 of 10

    A review article synthesizing the observed properties, proposed power sources, and open questions for the most luminous and fastest-evolving supernova classes.
