We present the first neural-network emulator of stripped-envelope supernova (SESN) lightcurves, trained on a grid of 4499 light curves simulated with the radiative transfer (RT) co…
Characterization of type Ibn SNe
D. Farias, C. Gall, V. A. Villar +29
Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) are characterized by narrow helium (He I) lines from photons produced by the unshocked circumstellar material (CSM). About 80 SNe Ibn have been discovered…
Spectral Diversity in Type Ibn Supernovae and the Large Host Offset of SN2024acyl
Yize Dong, V. Ashley Villar, Anya Nugent +35
In this paper, we first present observations of SN~2024acyl, a normal Type Ibn supernova with a large projected offset (35~kpc) from its host galaxy. The low star-formation r…
The New Status Qvo? SN 2021qvo is Another 2003fg-like Type Ia Supernova with a Rising Light-Curve Bump
I. A. Abreu Paniagua, W. B. Hoogendam, D. O. Jones +24
In recent years, multiple Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have been observed with ''bumps'' in their rising light curves shortly after explosion. Here, we present SN 2021qvo: a SN Ia t…
Radiative Transfer Modeling of Stripped-Envelope Supernovae. I: A Grid for Ejecta Parameter Inference
S. Karthik Yadavalli, V. Ashley Villar, Abigail Polin +3
We present 1,800 multiwavelength Type Ib/c supernovae light curve models obtained by running the radiation transport code Sedona and varying the mass distribution, velocity profile…
Evidence for an Instability-Induced Binary Merger in the Double-Peaked, Helium-Rich Type IIn Supernova 2023zkd
A. Gagliano, V. A. Villar, T. Matsumoto +42
We present ultraviolet to infrared observations of the extraordinary Type IIn supernova 2023zkd (SN 2023zkd). Photometrically, it exhibits persistent and luminous precursor emissio…
Seeing the Outer Edge of the Infant Type Ia Supernova 2024epr in the Optical and Near Infrared
W. B. Hoogendam, D. O. Jones, C. Ashall +30
We present optical-to-near-infrared (NIR) photometry and spectroscopy of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2024epr, including NIR spectra observed within two days of first light. The e…
Double "acct": a distinct double-peaked supernova matching pulsational pair-instability models
C. R. Angus, S. E. Woosley, R. J. Foley +35
We present multi-wavelength data of SN2020acct, a double-peaked stripped-envelope supernova (SN) in NGC2981 at ~150 Mpc. The two peaks are temporally distinct, with maxima separate…
JWST Observations of the Extraordinary GRB 221009A Reveal an Ordinary Supernova Without Signs of -Process Enrichment in a Low-Metallicity Galaxy
Peter K. Blanchard, V. Ashley Villar, Ryan Chornock +18
Identifying the astrophysical sites of the -process, one of the primary mechanisms by which heavy elements are formed, is a key goal of modern astrophysics. The discovery of the…
SN 2022oqm: A Bright and Multi-peaked Calcium-rich Transient
S. Karthik Yadavalli, V. Ashley Villar, Luca Izzo +60
We present the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of SN 2022oqm, a nearby multi-peaked hydrogen- and helium-weak calcium-rich transient (CaRT). SN 2022oqm was detected 13.1 kp…
