As part of its commissioning, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory observed several fields repeatedly for a month with ComCam, an instrument that uses the same hardware as the LSST camera…
The Enigmatic Type Icn Supernova 2024abvb Located ~22 kpc from Its Host Galaxy
J. Shi, K. Auchettl, W. B. Hoogendam +29
We report multiwavelength observations of the highly offset (~22.4 kpc) SN 2024abvb, the sixth Type Icn supernova to date. With a peak magnitude of Mr = -19.55 +/- 0.11 mag, it is…
Continuous Wide-Field Optical Monitoring for Very Early-Phase Transient Discovery
Massimo Della Valle, Maria Teresa Botticella, Enrico Cappellaro +40
The study of transient phenomena in a multimessenger context is expected to remain a major pillar of astrophysical discovery in the decades ahead. Supernovae, Kilonovae, Black-Hole…
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…
Final Moments III: Explosion Properties and Progenitor Constraints of CSM-Interacting Type II Supernovae
W. V. Jacobson-Galán, L. Dessart, K. W. Davis +52
We present analysis of the plateau and late-time phase properties of a sample of 39 Type II supernovae (SNe II) that show narrow, transient, high-ionization emission lines (i.e., "…
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…
SN 2021foa: The "Flip-Flop" Type IIn / Ibn supernova
D. Farias, C. Gall, G. Narayan +29
We present a comprehensive analysis of the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of SN~2021foa, unique among the class of transitional supernovae for repeatedly changing its spec…
Blast: a Web Application for Characterizing the Host Galaxies of Astrophysical Transients
D. O. Jones, P. McGill, T. A. Manning +14
Characterizing the host galaxies of astrophysical transients is important to many areas of astrophysics, including constraining the progenitor systems of core-collapse supernovae,…
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…
