OGLE14-073: a promising pair-instability supernova candidate

The recently discovered bright Type II supernova OGLE14-073 evolved very slowly. The light curve rose to maximum for 90 d from discovery and then declined at a rate compatible with the radioactive decay of 56Co. In this study, we show that a pair-instability supernova is a plausible mechanism for th...

Zusammenfassung:The recently discovered bright Type II supernova OGLE14-073 evolved very slowly. The light curve rose to maximum for 90 d from discovery and then declined at a rate compatible with the radioactive decay of 56Co. In this study, we show that a pair-instability supernova is a plausible mechanism for this event.
