Abstract
This paper describes the rapidly evolving and unusual supernova
LSQ13ddu, discovered by the La Silla-QUEST survey. LSQ13ddu displayed a
rapid rise of just 4.8 ± 0.9 d to reach a peak brightness of
-19.70 ± 0.02 mag in the LSQgr band. Early spectra of LSQ13ddu
showed the presence of weak and narrow He I features arising from
interaction with circumstellar material (CSM). These interaction
signatures weakened quickly, with broad features consistent with those
seen in stripped-envelope SNe becoming dominant around two weeks after
maximum. The narrow He I velocities are consistent with the wind
velocities of luminous blue variables but its spectra lack the typically
seen hydrogen features. The fast and bright early light curve is
inconsistent with radioactive 56Ni powering but can be
explained through a combination of CSM interaction and an underlying
56Ni decay component that dominates the later time behaviour
of LSQ13ddu. Based on the strength of the underlying broad features,
LSQ13ddu appears deficient in He compared to standard SNe Ib.
