Panchromatic JWST Observations and Models of the Dim Type Iax Supernova 2024vjm at 200 days

E Baron, J. M. DerKacy, C. Ashall +23

We report JWST spectra and photometry of the underluminous SN Iax 2024vjm obtained 202.8 restframe days post-explosion. The spectrum exhibits a rich set of forbidden lines from low…

ATLAS22kjn (AT 2022fpx): A Coronal Line Emitter with an Early Light Curve Bump and Mid-Infrared Dust Echo

Athena C. Engholm, Jason T. Hinkle, Benjamin J. Shappee +14

We present an analysis of ATLAS22kjn (AT 2022fpx), whose high-ionisation coronal lines (CLs) and pre-peak light curve bump provide distinctive opportunities to investigate the phys…

AT2021yky: A Fast-Rising Optical Transient with Evolving Broad Hydrogen Emission Consistent with an Ambiguous Nuclear Transient

Paarmita Pandey, Jason T. Hinkle, Christopher Kochanek +14

Nuclear transients are powerful probes of supermassive black hole properties, offering insight into black hole mass, accretion physics, and the structure of galactic nuclei. Among…

The type Ia supernova 2023vjh: a peculiar 1991bg-like SN with unusually faint light curves

M. Kopsacheili, L. Galbany, G. Folatelli +32

We present observations of the 1991bg-like type Ia supernova (SN) 2023vjh, associated with the elliptical galaxy MCG+04-10-013. Its light-curve shape parameters ($Δm_{15}(B)=1.89…

JWST Medium-Resolution Infrared Spectroscopy of SN 2022acko: Tracing Molecule Formation in the Nebular Phase

K. Medler, T. Mera, C. Ashall +28

The Type II supernova (SN II) SN 2022acko was the first to be spectroscopically observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (). Here, we analyze SN 2022acko's second…

Hawai`i Supernova Flows: Bulk Flow Measurements using SNe Ia in the Optical and NIR

Aaron Do, Kaisey S. Mandel, Benjamin J. Shappee +9

The present day peculiar velocity-field was sourced by primordial density fluctuations and sculpted over the lifespan of the Universe. Cosmological models such as CDM make pred…
