SN 1998bw holds the record for the most energetic Type Ic explosion, one of the brightest radio supenovae and probably the first supernova associated with a gamma-ray burst. In this paper we present spectral observations of SN 1998bw observed in a cooperative monitoring campaign using the AAT, UKST and the SSO 2.3-m telescope. We investigate the evolution of the spectrum between 7 and 94 days after V_band maximum in comparison to well-studied examples of Type Ic SNe in order to quantify the unusual properties of this supernova event. Though the early spectra differ greatly from the observations of classical Ic SNe, we find that the evolution from the photospheric to the nebular phases is slow but otherwise typical. The spectra differ predominantly in the extensive line blending and blanketing which has been attributed to the high velocity of the ejecta. We find that by day 19, the absorption line minima blueshifts are 10% - 50% higher than other SNe and on day 94 emission lines are 45% broader, as expected if the progenitor had a massive envelope. However, it is difficult to explain the extent of line blanketing entirely by line broadening, and we argue that additional contribution from other species is present, indicating unusual relative abundances or physical conditions in the envelope.

The discovery of X-ray, optical and radio afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and the measurements of the distances to some of them have established that these events come from Gpc distances and are the most powerful photon emitters known in the Un
iverse, with peak luminosities up to 10^52 erg/s. We here report the discovery of an optical transient, in the BeppoSAX Wide Field Camera error box of GRB980425, which occurred within about a day of the gamma-ray burst. Its optical light curve, spectrum and location in a spiral arm of the galaxy ESO 184-G82, at a redshift z = 0.0085, show that the transient is a very luminous type Ic supernova, SN1998bw. The peculiar nature of SN1998bw is emphasized by its extraordinary radio properties which require that the radio emitter expand at relativistical speed. Since SN1998bw is very different from all previously observed afterglows of GRBs, our discovery raises the possibility that very different mechanisms may give rise to GRBs, which differ little in their gamma-ray properties.
SN 1997ef has been recognized as a peculiar supernova from its light curve and spectral properties. The object was classified as a Type Ic supernova (SN Ic) because its spectra are dominated by broad absorption lines of oxygen and iron, lacking any c
lear signs of hydrogen or helium line features. The light curve is very different from that of previously known SNe Ic, showing a very broad peak and a slow tail. The strikingly broad line features in the spectra of SN 1997ef, which were also seen in the hypernova SN 1998bw, suggest the interesting possibility that SN 1997ef may also be a hypernova. The light curve and spectra of SN 1997ef were modeled first with a standard SN~Ic model assuming an ordinary kinetic energy of explosion $E_{rm K} = 10^{51}$ erg. The explosion of a CO star of mass $M_{rm CO} approx 6 M_odot$ gives a reasonably good fit to the light curve but clearly fails to reproduce the broad spectral features. Then, models with larger masses and energies were explored. Both the light curve and the spectra of SN 1997ef are much better reproduced by a C+O star model with $E_{rm K} =$ 8 e{51} erg and $M_{rm CO} = 10 M_odot$. Therefore, we conclude that SN 1997ef is very likely a hypernova on the basis of its kinetic energy of explosion. Finally, implications for the deviation from spherical symmetry are discussed in an effort to improve the light curve and spectral fits.
We present extensive multi-wavelength observations of the extremely rapidly declining Type Ic supernova, SN 2005ek. Reaching a peak magnitude of M_R = -17.3 and decaying by ~3 mag in the first 15 days post-maximum, SN 2005ek is among the fastest Type
I supernovae observed to date. The spectra of SN 2005ek closely resemble those of normal SN Ic, but with an accelerated evolution. There is evidence for the onset of nebular features at only nine days post-maximum. Spectroscopic modeling reveals an ejecta mass of ~0.3 Msun that is dominated by oxygen (~80%), while the pseudo-bolometric light curve is consistent with an explosion powered by ~0.03 Msun of radioactive Ni-56. Although previous rapidly evolving events (e.g., SN 1885A, SN 1939B, SN 2002bj, SN 2010X) were hypothesized to be produced by the detonation of a helium shell on a white dwarf, oxygen-dominated ejecta are difficult to reconcile with this proposed mechanism. We find that the properties of SN 2005ek are consistent with either the edge-lit double detonation of a low-mass white dwarf or the iron-core collapse of a massive star, stripped by binary interaction. However, if we assume that the strong spectroscopic similarity of SN 2005ek to other SN Ic is an indication of a similar progenitor channel, then a white-dwarf progenitor becomes very improbable. SN 2005ek may be one of the lowest mass stripped-envelope core-collapse explosions ever observed. We find that the rate of such rapidly declining Type I events is at least 1-3% of the normal SN Ia rate.
The properties of the type Ic supernova SN 1994I are re-investigated. This object is often referred to as a standard SN Ic although it exhibited an extremely fast light curve and unusually blue early-time spectra. In addition, the observations were a
ffected by significant dust extinction. A series of spectral models are computed based on the explosion model CO21 (Iwamoto et al. 1994) using a Monte Carlo transport spectral synthesis code. Overall the density structure and abundances of the explosion model are able to reproduce the photospheric spectra well. Reddening is estimated to be E(B-V)=0.30 mag, a lower value than previously proposed. A model of the nebular spectrum of SN 1994I points toward a slightly larger ejecta mass than that of CO21. The photospheric spectra show a large abundance of iron-group elements at early epochs, indicating that mixing within the ejecta must have been significant. We present an improved light curve model which also requires the presence of 56Ni in the outer layers of the ejecta.
$UBVRI$ photometry and medium resolution optical spectroscopy of peculiar Type Ia supernova SN 2005hk are presented and analysed, covering the pre-maximum phase to around 400 days after explosion. The supernova is found to be underluminous compared t
o normal Type Ia supernovae. The photometric and spectroscopic evolution of SN 2005hk is remarkably similar to the peculiar Type Ia event SN 2002cx. The expansion velocity of the supernova ejecta is found to be lower than normal Type Ia events. The spectra obtained $gsim 200$ days since explosion do not show the presence of forbidden [ion{Fe}{ii}], [ion{Fe}{iii}] and [ion{Co}{iii}] lines, but are dominated by narrow, permitted ion{Fe}{ii}, NIR ion{Ca}{ii} and ion{Na}{i} lines with P-Cygni profiles. Thermonuclear explosion model with Chandrasekhar mass ejecta and a kinetic energy smaller ($KE = 0.3 times 10^{51} {rm ergs}$) than that of canonical Type Ia supernovae is found to well explain the observed bolometric light curve. The mass of Nifs synthesized in this explosion is $0.18 Msun$. The early spectra are successfully modeled with this less energetic model with some modifications of the abundance distribution. The late spectrum is explained as a combination of a photospheric component and a nebular component.
