SN 2013ej is a Highly Polarized Type II-Plateau Supernova
Abstract
We report photometric and spectropolarimetric observations of the young Type II supernova SN 2013ej (PSN J01364816+1545310; CBET #3606) that establish its membership in the (photometrically defined) Type-II Plateau subclass and reveal unusually strong polarization at a very early phase.
