SN 2022ann: A type Icn supernova from a dwarf galaxy that reveals helium in its circumstellar environment
K. W. Davis, K. Taggart, S. Tinyanont +64
We present optical and near-infrared (NIR) observations of the Type Icn supernova (SN Icn) 2022ann, the fifth member of its newly identified class of SNe. Its early optical spectra…
Photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the Type II SN 2020jfo with a short plateau
B. Ailawadhi, R. Dastidar, K. Misra +34
We present high-cadence photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN~2020jfo in ultraviolet and optical/near-infrared bands starting from to days after the…
SALT3-NIR: Taking the Open-Source Type Ia Supernova Model to Longer Wavelengths for Next-Generation Cosmological Measurements
J. D. R. Pierel, D. O. Jones, W. D. Kenworthy +32
A large fraction of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) observations over the next decade will be in the near-infrared (NIR), at wavelengths beyond the reach of the current standard light-cu…
Observations of the luminous red nova AT 2021biy in the nearby galaxy NGC 4631
Y. -Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, M. Fraser +73
We present an observational study of the luminous red nova (LRN) AT\,2021biy in the nearby galaxy NGC\,4631. The field of the object was routinely imaged during the pre-eruptive st…
Companion Shocking Fits to the 2018 ZTF Sample of SNe Ia Are Consistent with Single-Degenerate Progenitor Systems
J. Burke, D. A. Howell, D. J. Sand +1
The early lightcurves of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) can be used to test predictions about their progenitor systems. If the progenitor system consists of a single white dwarf in a…
Panchromatic evolution of three luminous red novae: Forbidden hugs in pandemic times -- IV
A. Pastorello, G. Valerin, M. Fraser +77
We present photometric and spectroscopic data on three extragalactic luminous red novae (LRNe): AT2018bwo, AT2021afy, and AT2021blu. AT2018bwo was discovered in NGC45 (at 6.8 Mpc)…
Early Lightcurves of Type Ia Supernovae are Consistent with Nondegenerate Progenitor Companions
J. Burke, D. A. Howell, D. J. Sand +16
If Type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) result from a white dwarf being ignited by Roche lobe overflow from a nondegenerate companion, then as the supernova explosion runs into the companio…
The Diverse Properties of Type Icn Supernovae Point to Multiple Progenitor Channels
C. Pellegrino, D. A. Howell, G. Terreran +16
We present a sample of Type Icn supernovae (SNe Icn), a newly-discovered class of transients characterized by their interaction with H- and He-poor circumstellar material (CSM). Th…
Low luminosity Type II supernovae -- IV. SN 2020cxd and SN 2021aai, at the edges of the sub-luminous supernovae class
G. Valerin, M. L. Pumo, A. Pastorello +20
Photometric and spectroscopic data for two Low Luminosity Type IIP Supernovae (LL SNe IIP) are presented. SN 2020cxd reaches a peak absolute magnitude = -13.90 0.05 m…
Nebular-Phase Spectra of Type Ia Supernovae from the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Supernova Project
M. L. Graham, T. D. Kennedy, S. Kumar +17
The observed diversity in Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) -- the thermonuclear explosions of carbon-oxygen white dwarf stars used as cosmological standard candles -- is currently met w…
SN 2020acat: A purr-fect example of a fast rising Type IIb Supernova
K. Medler, P. A. Mazzali, J. Teffs +31
The Ultra-Violet (UV) and Near Infrared (NIR) photometric and optical spectroscopic observations of SN 2020acat covering days after explosion are presented here. U…
