Ítem Close, bright, and boxy: the superluminous SN 2018hti(Oxford University Press, 2022-05-01) Fiore, A.; Benetti, S.; Nicholl, M.; Reguitti, A.; Cappellaro, E.; Campana, S.; Bose, S.; Paraskeva, E.; Berger, E.; Bravo, T.M.; Burke, J.; Cai, Y.-Z.; Chen, T.-W.; Chen, P.; Ciolfi, R.; Dong, S.; Gomez, S.; Gromadzki, M.; Gutiérrez, C.P.; Hiramatsu, D.; Hosseinzadeh, G.; Howell, D.A.; Jerkstrand, A.; Kankare, E.; Kozyreva, A.; Maguire, K.; McCully, C.; Ochner, P.; Pellegrino, C.; Pignata, G.; Post, R.S.; Elias-Rosa, N.; Shahbandeh, M.; Schuldt, S.; Thomas, B.P.; Tomasella, L.; Vinkó, J.; Vogl, C.; Wheeler, J.C.; Young, D.R.SN 2018hti was a very nearby (z = 0.0614) superluminous supernova with an exceedingly bright absolute magnitude of -21.7 mag in r band at maximum. The densely sampled pre-maximum light curves of SN 2018hti show a slow luminosity evolution and constrain the rise time to ∼50 rest-frame d. We fitted synthetic light curves to the photometry to infer the physical parameters of the explosion of SN 2018hti for both the magnetar and the CSM-interaction scenarios. We conclude that one of two mechanisms could be powering the luminosity of SN 2018hti; interaction with ∼10 M⊙ of circumstellar material or a magnetar with a magnetic field of Bp∼1.3 × 1013 G, and initial period of Pspin∼1.8 ms. From the nebular spectrum modelling we infer that SN 2018hti likely results from the explosion of a ∼40M⊙ progenitor star. © 2022 The Author(s) Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Royal Astronomical Society.
