Bright, months-long stellar outbursts announce the explosion of interaction-powered supernovae

Nora L. Strotjohann, Eran O. Ofek, Avishay Gal-Yam +53

Interaction-powered supernovae (SNe) explode within an optically-thick circumstellar medium (CSM) that could be ejected during eruptive events. To identify and characterize such pr…
