HO Puppis: Not a Be Star but a Newly Confirmed IW And-Type Star

Chien-De Lee, Jia-Yu Ou, Po-Chieh Yu +19

HO Puppis (HO Pup) was considered as a Be-star candidate based on its gamma-Cassiopeiae-type light curve, but lacked spectroscopic confirmation. Using distance measured from Gaia D…

Helium-rich Superluminous Supernovae From the Zwicky Transient Facility

Lin Yan, D. Perley, S. Schulze +39

Helium is expected to be present in the ejecta of some hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSN-I). However, so far only one event, PTF10hgi has been identified with He feature…
