Photospheric Velocity Gradients and Ejecta Masses of Hydrogen-poor Superluminous Supernovae: Proxies for Distinguishing between Fast and Slow Events

We present a study of 28 Type I superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) in the context of the ejecta mass and photospheric velocity. We combine photometry and spectroscopy to infer ejecta masses via the formalism of radiation diffusion equations. We present an improved method to determine the photospheric...
