How are superluminous supernovae (SL-SNe) and hypernovae related?
Answer
A hypernova is considered a specific, jet-driven type within the broader category of SL-SNe
Superluminous supernovae encompass several extremely bright events, including hypernovae, which are characterized by jet-driven energy release from massive star collapse.
