A young stellar environment for the superluminous supernova PTF12dam
A young stellar environment for the superluminous supernova PTF12dam
Abstract The progenitors of superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are still a mystery. Hydrogen-poor SLSN hosts are young, highly star-forming dwarf galaxies and the majority belongs to the class of âextreme emission line galaxiesâ. Here we present a resolved long-slit study of the host of the hydrogen-poor SLSN PTF12dam probing the kiloparsec âŚ
