cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiessupernovaeinfrared-photometryultraviolet-photometryhst-photometryWe present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Camera 3 UV and near-IR (nIR) imaging of 21 Superluminous Supernovae (SLSNe) host galaxies, providing a sensitive probe of star formation and stellar mass within the hosts. Comparing the photometric and morphological properties of these host galaxies with those of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) and long-duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs), we find SLSN hosts are fainter and more compact at both UV and nIR wavelengths, in some cases we barely recover hosts with absolute magnitude around M_V_~=-14. With the addition of ground based optical observations and archival results, we produce spectral energy distribution fits to these hosts, and show that SLSN hosts possess lower stellar mass and star formation rates. This is most pronounced for the hydrogen deficient Type-I SLSN hosts, although Type-II H-rich SLSN host galaxies remain distinct from the bulk of CCSNe, spanning a remarkably broad range of absolute magnitudes, with ~30 per cent of SLSNe-II arising from galaxies fainter than M_nIR_~-14. The detection of our faintest SLSN hosts increases the confidence that SLSNe-I hosts are distinct from those of LGRBs in star formation rate and stellar mass, and suggests that apparent similarities in metallicity may be due to the limited fraction of hosts for which emission line metallicity measurements are feasible. The broad range of luminosities of SLSN-II hosts is difficult to describe by metallicity cuts, and does not match the expectations of any reasonable UV-weighted luminosity function, suggesting additional environmental constraints are likely necessary to yield hydrogen rich SLSNe.2016MNRAS.458...84Ahttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/458/84CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/458/84https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/458/84http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/458/84https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/458/84https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/458/84http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/458/84GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/MNRAS/458/84/table1 (SLSN host used within this paper, listing positions, redshifts and observations used within this study)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/458/84/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/458/84/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/458/84/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true30.422253.660805560.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/MNRAS/458/84/tablea1 (SLSNe discovery images used for carrying out astrometry and identifying host galaxies)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/458/84/tablea1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/458/84/tablea1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/458/84/tablea1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true30.4031253.64866670.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/MNRAS/458/84/tablea2 (CCSNe comparison selected from the GOODs survey, for which we carry out photometric measurements, with redshifts and positions included (nIR))https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/458/84/tablea2?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/458/84/tablea2?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/458/84/tablea2?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true50.4152916716.867297220.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/MNRAS/458/84/tablea3 (LGRB sub from SNAPSHOT survey)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/458/84/tablea3?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/458/84/tablea3?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/458/84/tablea3?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true12.2344166722.609222220.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/MNRAS/458/84/tablea4 (UV data)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/458/84/tablea4?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/458/84/tablea4?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/458/84/tablea4?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true53.20249167-27.904761110.0055555555555555566/393 557 646 908 1700 2132 2153 2315 2357 2735 4308 4312 4323 4485 4544 5840 5941 5973 5979 6445 8103 8771 9107 9147 9231 9370 9805 9998 10122 10306 10379 10519 10723 11252 11673 13720 15054 15295 16282 17038 17703 17709 17829 17890 18004 18324 18681 18768 18911 19056 19092 19280 19519 19890 19911 19971 20191 21498 23187 23203 23342 23413 25516 25596 26515 27869 27947 27962 28344 28555 29231 31518 31583 32239 33050 33235 33735 34465 35227 35393 35935 36361 36460 36861 37123 38926 39008 39327 39594 43853 44293 45347 45836 45938 46022 46218 46250 46510 47027 47217 47251 48007 49137https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/MNRAS/458/84?format=asciiUVInfrareddefaultJ/MNRAS/458/84/table1SLSN host used within this paper, listing positions, redshifts and observations used within this studyrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
