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...

First Results from Supernova Diversity and Rate Evolution (SUDARE) Survey at VST
Despite the key role played by Supernovae (SNe) in discovering the accelerating expansion of the Universe, there are still fundamental questions to answer about their progenitor systems and explosion mechanism...

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.

An asymmetric explosion as the origin of spectral evolution diversity in type Ia supernovae
The status of type Ia supernovae as cosmological 'standard candles' relies upon the assumption that they are very similar to one another and form a uniform class of objects. Recently, however, observational di...

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...

Onset of submarine debris flow deposition far from original giant landslide
Submarine landslides can generate sediment-laden flows whose scale is impressive. Individual flow deposits have been mapped that extend for 1,500 km offshore from northwest Africa1,2,3,4,5,6,7. These are the long...

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...

Models of the Early-Time Spectra of SNe Ia Using a Monte Carlo Code
The characteristics of our Monte Carlo code used to compute synthetic photospheric epoch SN spectra are briefly reviewed. The code’s diagnostic potentials are discussed, with particular reference to the possib...
