SN 2006oz: Rise of a super-luminous supernova observed by the SDSS-II SN Survey

Context. A new class of super-luminous transients has recently been identified. These objects reach absolute luminosities of Mu < -21, lack hydrogen in their spectra, and are exclusively discovered by non-targeted surveys because they are associated with very faint galaxies.
