    Publisher Correction: Hydrogen-rich supernovae beyond the neutrino-driven core-collapse paradigm

    In the version of this Article originally published the Fig. 6 y axis label read 'Mej' but should have read 'MNi'. This has now been corrected.

    Spectroscopic identification of r-process nucleosynthesis in a double neutron-star merger

    Observations of the transient associated with the gravitational-wave event GW170817 and γ-ray burst GRB 170817A reveal a bright kilonova with fast-moving ejecta, including lanthanides synthesized by rapid neut...

    Hydrogen-rich supernovae beyond the neutrino-driven core-collapse paradigm

    Type II supernovae are the final stage of massive stars (above 8 M ) which retain part of their hydrogen-rich envelope at the moment of explosion. They typically eject up to 15 M

    Correction: Corrigendum: Slowly fading super-luminous supernovae that are not pair-instability explosions

    Nature 502, 346–349 (2013); doi:10.1038/nature12569 In this Letter, we have identified an important error affecting Fig. 4 and Extended Data Fig. 6, as well as the values of some parameters derived from our mo...

    Slowly fading super-luminous supernovae that are not pair-instability explosions

    Observations of two slow-to-fade super-luminous supernovae are reported; both show relatively fast rise times and blue colours, which are incompatible with pair-instability models.

    Five supernova survey galaxies in the southern hemisphere. II. the supernova rates

    Based on the database compiled in the first article of this series, with 56 SN events discovered in 3838 galaxies of the southern hemisphere, we compute the rate of supernovae (SNe) of different types along th...

    A low-energy core-collapse supernova without a hydrogen envelope

    Theory suggests that stars with initial masses greater than 25–30 times that of the Sun end their stellar lives as Wolf–Rayet stars, becoming hydrogen-deficient by rapidly losing mass through strong stellar wi...

    A giant outburst two years before the core-collapse of a massive star

    When a bright optical transient was discovered in galaxy UGC 4904 in October 2004 the signs were that it was big enough and bright enough to be a supernova. Further work suggested that it was not quite on that...

    An optical supernova associated with the X-ray flash XRF 060218

    A link between long γ-ray bursts (GRBs) and supernovae has been established, but whether there is a similar relationship between the weaker and softer X-ray flashes and supernovae is unclear. GRB/XRF 060218, s...

    A hypernova model for the supernova associated with the γ-ray burst of 25 April 1998

    The discovery of the unusual supernova SN1998bw, and its possible association with the γ-ray burst GRB 9804251,2,3, provide new insights into the explosion mechanism of very massive stars and the origin of some c...
