Optical and near-infrared observations of SN 2014ck: an outlier among the Type Iax supernovae
Optical and near-infrared observations of SN 2014ck: an outlier among the Type Iax supernovae
We present a comprehensive set of optical and near-infrared photometric and spectroscopic observations for SN 2014ck, extending from pre-maximum to six months later. These data indicate that SN 2014ck is photometrically nearly identical to SN 2002cx, which is the prototype of the class of peculiar transients named SNe Iax. Similar …
