Ultra-bright Optical Transients are Linked with Type Ic Supernovae

Ultra-bright Optical Transients are Linked with Type Ic Supernovae

Recent searches by unbiased, wide-field surveys have uncovered a group of extremely luminous optical transients. The initial discoveries of SN 2005ap by the Texas Supernova Search and SCP-06F6 in a deep Hubble pencil beam survey were followed by the Palomar Transient Factory confirmation of host red...
