Title: DES15E2mlf: A Spectroscopically Confirmed Superluminous Supernova that Exploded 3.5 Gyr After the Big Bang

We present the Dark Energy Survey (DES) discovery of DES15E2mlf, the most distant superluminous supernova (SLSN) spectroscopically con rmed to date. The light curves and Gemini spectroscopy of DES15E2mlf indicate that it is a Type I superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at z = 1:861 (a lookback time of 10 Gyr) and peaking at MAB = -22:3 0:1 mag. Given the high redshift, our data probe the rest-frame ultraviolet (1400{3500 A) properties of the SN, nding velocity of the Ciii feature changes by 5600kms -1 over 14 days around maximum light. We nd the host galaxy of DES15E2mlf has a stellar mass of 3:5+3:6 -2:4 109 M , which is more massive than the typical SLSN-I host galaxy.
