cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiesspectroscopysupernovaevisible-astronomysloan-photometryredshiftedinfrared-photometryhst-photometrychemical-abundancesWe present ultraviolet through near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of the host galaxies of all superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory prior to 2013 and derive measurements of their luminosities, star formation rates, stellar masses, and gas-phase metallicities. We find that Type I (hydrogen-poor) SLSNe (SLSNe I) are found almost exclusively in low-mass (M_*_<2x10^9^M_{sun}_) and metal-poor (12+log_10_[O/H]<8.4) galaxies. We compare the mass and metallicity distributions of our sample to nearby galaxy catalogs in detail and conclude that the rate of SLSNe I as a fraction of all SNe is heavily suppressed in galaxies with metallicities >~0.5Z_{sun}_. Extremely low metallicities are not required and indeed provide no further increase in the relative SLSN rate. Several SLSN I hosts are undergoing vigorous starbursts, but this may simply be a side effect of metallicity dependence: dwarf galaxies tend to have bursty star formation histories. Type II (hydrogen-rich) SLSNe (SLSNe II) are found over the entire range of galaxy masses and metallicities, and their integrated properties do not suggest a strong preference for (or against) low-mass/low-metallicity galaxies. Two hosts exhibit unusual properties: PTF 10uhf is an SLSN I in a massive, luminous infrared galaxy at redshift z=0.29, while PTF 10tpz is an SLSN II located in the nucleus of an early-type host at z=0.04.2016ApJ...830...13Phttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/830/13CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toB/sn : Asiago Supernova Catalogue (Barbon et al., 1999-)II/328 : AllWISE Data Release (Cutri+ 2013)II/311 : WISE All-Sky Data Release (Cutri+ 2012)J/ApJ/828/3 : The superluminous SNI ASASSN-15lh with Swift (Brown+, 2016)J/ApJ/819/35 : LCs of four transients from PTF + SNLS (Arcavi+, 2016)J/MNRAS/448/1206 : Superluminous supernovae in faint galaxies (McCrum+, 2015)J/MNRAS/445/899 : LVL SEDs and physical properties (Cook+, 2014)J/MNRAS/445/881 : LVL global optical photometry (Cook+, 2014)J/other/Nat/491.228 : Light curves of 2 superluminous supernovae (Cooke+, 2012)J/MNRAS/412/1441 : SNe luminosity functions (Li+, 2011)J/other/Nat/474.484 : Ligth curves of 4 supernovae (Quimby+, 2011)J/ApJS/192/6 : A GALEX UV imaging survey of nearby galaxies (Lee+, 2011)J/ApJ/715/506 : Aromatic inventory of the local volume (Marble+, 2010)J/ApJ/703/517 : The Spitzer Local Volume Legacy: IR photometry (Dale+, 2009)J/ApJ/696/870 : Catalina Real-time Transient Survey (CRTS) (Drake+, 2009)J/ApJS/178/247 : H{alpha} and [NII] survey in local 11 Mpc (Kennicutt+, 2008)J/A+A/459/85 : O/H & gas densities in star-forming galaxies (Nagao+, 2006)J/A+A/448/955 : Abundances of emission galaxies in SDSS-DR3 (Izotov+, 2006)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/830/13https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/830/13http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/830/13https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/830/13https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/830/13http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/830/13GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJ/830/13/table1 (Superluminous Supernovae from PTF)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/830/13/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/830/13/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/830/13/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true194.816127.277938890.0055555555555555566/2153 4552 7582 7768 8253 9107 9231 9292 9805 9989 10003 10118 10122 10306 10378 10705 10777 12019 13372 16647 19634 20385 22953 25516 27917 27934 31236 31518 32102 36681 36861 48593https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/830/13?format=asciiOpticalInfrareddefaultJ/ApJ/830/13/table1Superluminous Supernovae from PTFl_Vmag[<< ] Limit flag on Vmagmeta.code.errorcharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
