We present observations of DES16C2nm, the first spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-free superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at redshift z~2. DES16C2nm was discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Supernova Program, with follow-up photometric data from the Hubble Space Telescope, Gemini, and the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope supplementing the DES data. Spectroscopic observations confirm DES16C2nm to be at z=1.998, and spectroscopically similar to Gaia16apd (a SLSN-I at z=0.102), with a peak absolute magnitude of U=-22.26$\pm$0.06. The high redshift of DES16C2nm provides a unique opportunity to study the ultraviolet (UV) properties of SLSNe-I. Combining DES16C2nm with ten similar events from the literature, we show that there exists a homogeneous class of SLSNe-I in the UV (~2500A), with peak luminosities in the (rest-frame) U band, and increasing absorption to shorter wavelengths. There is no evidence that the mean photometric and spectroscopic properties of SLSNe-I differ between low (z<1) and high redshift (z>1), but there is clear evidence of diversity in the spectrum at <2000A, possibly caused by the variations in temperature between events. No significant correlations are observed between spectral line velocities and photometric luminosity. Using these data, we estimate that SLSNe-I can be discovered to z=3.8 by DES. While SLSNe-I are typically identified from their blue observed colors at low redshift (z<1), we highlight that at z>2 these events appear optically red, peaking in the observer-frame z-band. Such characteristics are critical to identify these objects with future facilities such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, Euclid, and the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope, which should detect such SLSNe-I to z=3.5, 3.7, and 6.6, respectively.

Ultraviolet Spectroscopy and TARDIS Models of the Broad-lined Type-Ic Supernova 2014ad
很少有已发表的关于剥层超新星的紫外光谱,至今也没有关于宽线Ic型超新星(SN Ic-bl)的。这些天体具有极高的喷射速度,是唯一与伽马射线暴(GRB)直接相关的超新星类型。在这里,我们提出了两个时代的HST/STIS光谱的SN Ic-bl 2014 ad,第一个紫外光谱的这类。我们补充了26个新的基于地面的光谱时代,增加了丰富的光谱时间序列。紫外光谱没有表现出很强的功能,并与其他SN IC光谱中观察到的UV加宽版本是一致的。我们测量Fe II 5169埃的速度,并表明SN 2014 ad有更高的喷出物速度比大多数SNe Ic都有和没有观察到的伽玛暴。我们使用TARDIS构建SN 2014 ad UV+光谱的模型,TARDIS是一种一维Monte-Carlo辐射传输光谱合成代码。这些模型在光学的多个时期都很好地拟合了数据,但低估了紫外线的通量,这可能是由于简化了假设。我们发现,需要在高速度下的高密度来重现光谱,假设球对称,$\sim$ 3 M $_\odot$的材料在$v >$ 22,000 km s $^{-1}$。我们的星云线拟合表明在低速下有一个陡峭的密度剖面。总之,这些结果意味着更高的总喷出物质量比估计从以前的光变曲线分析和预期的理论。这可以通过在低速度下密度分布的平坦化和喷出物中心附近的额外发射来协调。
