contents For a basic classical Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak s$, let $\mathfrak g$ be the central extension of the Takiff superalgebra $\mathfrak s\otimesΛ(θ)$, where $θ$ is an odd indeterminate. We study the category of $\mathfrak g$-Whittaker modules associated with a nilcharacter $χ$ of $\mathfrak g$ and show that it is equivalent to the category of $\mathfrak s$-Whittaker modules associated with a nilcharacter of $\mathfrak s$ determined by $χ$. In the case when $χ$ is regular, we obtain, as an application, an equivalence between the categories of modules over the supersymmetric finite $W$-algebras associated to the odd principal nilpotent element at non-critical levels and the category of the modules over the principal finite $W$-superalgebra associated to $\mathfrak s$. Here, a supersymmetric finite $W$-algebra is conjecturally the Zhu algebra of a supersymmetric affine $W$-algebra. This allows us to classify and construct irreducible representations of a principal finite supersymmetric $W$-algebra.

For a basic classical Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak s$, let $\mathfrak g$ be the central extension of the Takiff superalgebra $\mathfrak s\otimesΛ(θ)$, where $θ$ is an odd indeterminate. We study the category of $\mathfrak g$-Whittaker modules associated with a nilcharacter $χ$ of $\mathfrak g$ and show that it is equivalent to the category of $\mathfrak s$-Whittaker modules associated with a nilcharacter of $\mathfrak s$ determined by $χ$. In the case when $χ$ is regular, we obtain, as an application, an equivalence between the categories of modules over the supersymmetric finite $W$-algebras associated to the odd principal nilpotent element at non-critical levels and the category of the modules over the principal finite $W$-superalgebra associated to $\mathfrak s$. Here, a supersymmetric finite $W$-algebra is conjecturally the Zhu algebra of a supersymmetric affine $W$-algebra. This allows us to classify and construct irreducible representations of a principal finite supersymmetric $W$-algebra.
