Title: Superluminous supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey

Abstract

We present a sample of 21 hydrogen-free superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) and one hydrogen-rich SLSN (SLSN-II) detected during the five-year Dark Energy Survey (DES). These SNe, located in the redshift range 0.220 < z < 1.998, represent the largest homogeneously selected sample of SLSN events at high redshift. We present the observed g, r, i, z light curves for these SNe, which we interpolate using Gaussian processes. The resulting light curves are analyzed to determine the luminosity function of SLSNe-I, and their evolutionary time-scales. The DES SLSN-I sample significantly broadens the distribution of SLSN-I light-curve properties when combined with existing samples from the literature. We fit a magnetar model to our SLSNe, and find that this model alone is unable to replicate the behavior of many of the bolometric light curves. We search the DES SLSN-I light curves for the presence of initial peaks prior to the main light-curve peak. Using a shock breakout model, our Monte Carlo search finds that 3 of our 14 events with pre-max data display such initial peaks. However, 10 events show no evidence for such peaks, in some cases down to an absolute magnitude of <–16, suggesting that such features are not ubiquitous to allmore » SLSN-I events. In conclusion, we also identify a red pre-peak feature within the light curve of one SLSN, which is comparable to that observed within SN2018bsz.« less

Figure 1 Figure 1: Spectra used for the spectroscopic confirmation of DES SLSN-I candidates, with observational details given in Table A. The DES spectra are binned by 5 Å bins to increase the clarity of the features. The phase provided corresponds to the phase at which the classification spectrum was taken inmore » the SN rest frame, not that of the spectral template. The black lines show the smoothed best fitting spectral template used to classify the spectrum for each SN (see Quimby et al. 2018 for more template details). We determine spectroscopic redshifts from either the presence of host galaxy absorption lines, or from fitting the observed SN features to those of established SLSNe within the literature. Here we highlight the O II absorption lines seen in the optical spectra around 4000Å.« less
