We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2020xga and SN 2022xgc, two hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) at and , respectiv…
Spectral dataset of young type Ib supernovae and their time evolution
N. Yesmin, C. Pellegrino, M. Modjaz +11
Due to high-cadence automated surveys, we can now detect and classify supernovae (SNe) within a few days after explosion, if not earlier. Early-time spectra of young SNe directly p…
SN 2021foa: the bridge between SN IIn and Ibn
Anjasha Gangopadhyay, Naveen Dukiya, Takashi J Moriya +26
We present the long-term photometric and spectroscopic analysis of a transitioning SN~IIn/Ibn from 10.8 d to 150.7 d post -band maximum. SN~2021foa shows prominent He {\sc i}…
Ejecta masses in Type Ia Supernovae -- Implications for the Progenitor and the Explosion Scenario
Zsófia Bora, Réka Könyves-Tóth, József Vinkó +35
The progenitor system(s) as well as the explosion mechanism(s) of thermonuclear (Type Ia) supernovae are long-standing issues in astrophysics. Here we present ejecta masses and oth…
A study in scarlet -- II. Spectroscopic properties of a sample of Intermediate Luminosity Red Transients
G. Valerin, A. Pastorello, E. Mason +65
We investigate the spectroscopic characteristics of Intermediate Luminosity Red Transients (ILRTs), a class of elusive objects with peak luminosity between that of classical novae…

The X-ray Luminous Type Ibn SN 2022ablq: Estimates of Pre-explosion Mass Loss and Constraints on Precursor Emission
C. Pellegrino, M. Modjaz, Y. Takei +14
Type Ibn supernovae (SNe Ibn) are rare stellar explosions powered primarily by interaction between the SN ejecta and H-poor, He-rich material lost by their progenitor stars. Multi-…
