Long-duration GW Searches for Sub-solar NSs and Superkilonovae using CoCoA
Abby Tejera, Divyajyoti, Alessandra Corsi +3
On 2025 August 18, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration reported a sub-threshold gravitational-wave (GW) candidate, S250818k, consistent with a binary neutron star (NS) merger potent…
Ultraviolet to Infrared Spectroscopy of the Type Ibn SN 2023tsz Suggests a Lower-mass Progenitor
Sergiy S. Vasylyev, Griffin Hosseinzadeh, Luc Dessart +42
Type Ibn supernovae are stripped-envelope explosions whose spectra indicate interaction with dense, helium-rich and hydrogen-poor circumstellar material (CSM), making them importan…
The JADES Transient Survey II: Volumetric Supernova Rates out to z~5
Christa DeCoursey, Christian Vassallo, Louis-Gregory Strolger +27
The paper uses JWST/NIRCam observations from the JADES Transient Survey to measure the first volumetric rates of core‑collapse and Type Ia supernovae at redshifts 2–5, employing ph…
Neutrino diagnostics of hadron-quark phase transition in Neutron Stars
Yossef Zenati, Conrado Albertus Torres, Joseph Silk +1
We investigate neutrino signatures of a hadron-quark phase transition (HQPT) in neutron stars (NS) leading to quark star (QS) formation. We use representative hadronic and quark eq…
SN 2025ogs: A Spectroscopically-Normal Type Ia Supernova at z = 2 as a Benchmark for Redshift Evolution
M. R. Siebert, J. D. R. Pierel, M. Engesser +20
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will provide a revolutionary measurement of the Universe's expansion kinematics, driven by dark matter and dark energy, out to .…
Expanding the High-z Supernova Frontier: "Wide-Area" JWST Discoveries from the First Two Years of COSMOS-Web
Ori D. Fox, Armin Rest, Justin D. R. Pierel +48
Transient astronomy in the early Universe (z > 2) remains largely unexplored, lying beyond the rest-frame optical spectroscopic reach of most current observatories. Yet this regime…
