The fast rise of the unusual Type IIL/IIb SN 2018ivc

A. Reguitti, R. Dastidar, G. Pignata +22

We present an analysis of the photometric and spectroscopic dataset of the Type II supernova (SN) 2018ivc in the nearby (10 Mpc) galaxy Messier 77. Thanks to the high cadence of th…

Massive stars exploding in a He-rich circumstellar medium X. Flash spectral features in the Type Ibn SN 2019cj and observations of SN 2018jmt

Z. -Y. Wang, A. Pastorello, K. Maeda +48

We present optical and near-infrared observations of two Type Ibn supernovae (SNe), SN 2018jmt and SN 2019cj. Their light curves have rise times of about 10 days, reaching an absol…

A study in scarlet -- II. Spectroscopic properties of a sample of Intermediate Luminosity Red Transients

G. Valerin, A. Pastorello, E. Mason +65

We investigate the spectroscopic characteristics of Intermediate Luminosity Red Transients (ILRTs), a class of elusive objects with peak luminosity between that of classical novae…

Early-Time Observations of SN 2023wrk: A Luminous Type Ia Supernova with Significant Unburned Carbon in the Outer Ejecta

Jialian Liu, Xiaofeng Wang, Cristina Andrade +44

We present extensive photometric and spectroscopic observations of the nearby Type Ia supernova (SN) 2023wrk at a distance of about 40 Mpc. The earliest detection of this SN can be…

Red eminence: The intermediate-luminosity red transient AT 2022fnm

S. Moran, R. Kotak, M. Fraser +13

We present results from a five-month-long observing campaign of the unusual transient AT 2022fnm, which displays properties common to both luminous red novae (LRNe) and intermediat…

Searching for precursor activity of Type IIn Supernovae

A. Reguitti, G. Pignata, A. Pastorello +4

We conducted a search for luminous outbursts prior to the explosion of Type IIn Supernovae (SNe IIn). We built a sample of 27 objects spectroscopically classified as SNe IIn, all l…

Observations of type Ia supernova SN 2020nlb up to 600 days after explosion, and the distance to M85

S. C. Williams, R. Kotak, P. Lundqvist +9

The type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2020nlb was discovered in the Virgo Cluster galaxy M85 shortly after explosion. Here we present observations that include one of the earliest high-…

The metamorphosis of the Type Ib SN 2019yvr: late-time interaction

Lucía Ferrari, Gastón Folatelli, Hanindyo Kuncarayakti +32

We present observational evidence of late-time interaction between the ejecta of the hydrogen-poor Type Ib supernova (SN) 2019yvr and hydrogen-rich circumstellar material (CSM), si…

The enigmatic double-peaked stripped-envelope SN 2023aew

Tuomas Kangas, Hanindyo Kuncarayakti, Takashi Nagao +29

We present optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of SN 2023aew and our findings on its remarkable properties. This event, initially resembling a Type IIb supernova…
