Zusammenfassung:We report the discovery of an SN 1988Z–like type IIn supernova KISS15s found in a low-mass star-forming galaxy at redshift z  = 0.038 during the course of the Kiso Supernova Survey (KISS). KISS15s shows long-duration optical continuum and emission line light curves, indicating that KISS15s is powered by a continuous interaction between the expanding ejecta and dense circumstellar medium (CSM). The H α emission line profile can be decomposed into four Gaussians of narrow, intermediate, blueshifted intermediate, and broad velocity width components, with a full width at half maximum of ≲100, ∼2000, and ∼14,000 km s −1 for the narrow, intermediate, and broad components, respectively. The presence of the blueshifted intermediate component, of which the line-of-sight velocity relative to the systemic velocity is about −5000 km s −1 , suggests that the ejecta-CSM interaction region has an inhomogeneous morphology and anisotropic expansion velocity. We found that KISS15s shows increasing infrared continuum emission, which can be interpreted as hot dust thermal emission of T  ∼ 1200 K from newly formed dust in a cool, dense shell in the ejecta-CSM interaction region. The progenitor mass-loss rate, inferred from bolometric luminosity, is , where v w is the progenitor’s stellar wind velocity. This implies that the progenitor of KISS15s was a red supergiant star or a luminous blue variable that had experienced a large mass loss in the centuries before the explosion.
