Core-collapse supernovae 2022prr, 2023ucy, and 2024ljc in the luminous infrared galaxy NGC 6745

K. K. Matilainen, E. Kankare, T. Nagao +19

The core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) 2022prr, 2023ucy, and 2024ljc exploded within the central regions of the nearby luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) NGC6745. We present our follow-…

SOXS NIR: Optomechanical integration and alignment, optical performance verification before full instrument assembly

M. Genoni, M. Aliverti, G. Pariani +48

This paper presents the opto-mechanical integration and alignment, functional and optical performance verification of the NIR arm of Son Of X-Shooter (SOXS) instrument. SOXS will b…

Time-varying double-peaked emission lines following the sudden ignition of the dormant galactic nucleus AT2017bcc

E. J. Ridley, M. Nicholl, C. A. Ward +35

We present a pan-chromatic study of AT2017bcc, a nuclear transient that was discovered in 2017 within the skymap of a reported burst-like gravitational wave candidate, G274296. It…

Delayed Appearance and Evolution of Coronal Lines in the TDE AT2019qiz

P. Short, A. Lawrence, M. Nicholl +17

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star gets torn apart by a supermassive black hole as it crosses its tidal radius. We present late-time optical and X-ray observations of…

Spectropolarimetry of Type II supernovae (I) Sample, observational data and interstellar polarization

T. Nagao, S. Mattila, R. Kotak +1

We investigate polarization spectra of hydrogen-rich core-collapse supernovae (Type~II SNe). The polarization signal from SNe contains two independent components: intrinsic SN pola…

Roman CCS White Paper: Identifying high-redshift pair-instability supernovae by adding sparse F213 filter observations

Takashi Moriya, Ori D. Fox, Robert Quimby +22

Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are explosions of very massive stars that may have played a critical role in the chemical evolution and reionization of the early Universe. In o…
