Caracterización de curvas de luz de supernovas superluminosas ricas en hidrógeno.
Abstract
Supernovae represent the explosive death of a star. There is a small group of core-collapse supernovae whose peak luminosity in the light curve is so high that it cannot be explained by conventional models. Therefore, it is necessary to consider alternative boosting mechanisms to understand their origin. In this talk, I will present the characterization of the largest sample of hydrogen-rich superluminous supernovae (SLSN II) available to date. I will discuss the possible mechanisms responsible for the observed features and the minimum requirements needed to conduct similar analyses using data from the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

Priscila Pessi earned her PhD from the National University of La Plata in 2022. During her doctoral training, she completed a two-year studentship at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and participated in multiple observing campaigns at various observatories. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Stockholm University, focusing her work on the study of superluminous supernovae. Priscila is an active member of several international scientific collaborations, including ePESSTO+, TVS, LSST, LS4, and ZTF, contributing significantly to advancing knowledge in the field of supernova astrophysics.
