Description
A number of supernovae has been discovered in recent times
showing weird observed
properties. A few of them are extremely sub-luminous, others
are among the brightest
stellar explosions ever observed. In this review I present
photometric and
spectroscopic data of some of the most astonishing unusual
transients, and outline
what we currently know on the nature of their progenitor stars.
