TalkThe GRB-supernova connection. Or is there any?
Long suspected on theoretical grounds and supported by tantalising observational evidence, the connection between supernovae and gamma-ray bursts was definitely...

PublicationThe Highly Energetic Expansion of SN 2010bh Associated with GRB 100316D
We present the spectroscopic and photometric evolution of the nearby (z = 0.059) spectroscopically confirmed Type Ic supernova, SN 2010bh, associated with the...

PublicationThe Hubble diagram of type Ia supernovae as a function of host galaxy morphology
We present new results on the Hubble diagram of distant type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) segregated according to the type of host galaxy. This makes it possible to...

PublicationThe Hydrogen-poor Superluminous Supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility Phase I Survey. I. Light Curves and Measurements
During the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) Phase I operations, 78 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) were discovered in less than 3 yr...

PublicationThe impact of natal kicks on galactic r-process enrichment by neutron star mergers
We study galactic enrichment with rapid neutron capture (r-process) elements in cosmological, magnetohydrodynamical simulations of a Milky Way-mass galaxy. We...

TalkThe jet feedback mechanism: from supernovae to clusters of galaxies
I will describe the roles of jets in several quite different astrophysical systems. These include exploding core collapse supernovae, expelling common envelopes...

PublicationThe Massive Progenitor of the Possible Type II-Linear Supernova 2009hd in Messier 66
We present early- and late-time photometric and spectroscopic observations of supernova (SN) 2009hd in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 3627 (M66). This SN is one...

PublicationThe nearest extreme starburst: bubbles, young star clusters and outflow in the merger NGC 3256
We have studied the extreme starburst in the infrared merger NGC 3256. We detect four galactic bubbles (using ESO New Technology Telescope and Hubble Space...
