Merger Precursor: Year-long Transients Preceding Mergers of Low-mass Stripped Stars with Compact Objects

Daichi Tsuna, Samantha C. Wu, Jim Fuller +2

Binary mass transfer can occur at high rates due to rapid expansion of the donor's envelope. In the case where mass transfer is unstable, the binary can rapidly shrink its orbit an…

SN 2023zaw: an ultra-stripped, nickel-poor supernova from a low-mass progenitor

Kaustav K. Das, Christoffer Fremling, Mansi M. Kasliwal +34

We present SN 2023zaw $-$ a sub-luminous ( $M_{r} = - 16.7$ mag) and rapidly-evolving supernova ( $t_{1/2, r} = 4.9$ days), with the lowest nickel mass ( $\approx 0.002$ …

Bright Supernova Precursors by Outbursts from Massive Stars with Compact Object Companions

Daichi Tsuna, Tatsuya Matsumoto, Samantha C. Wu +1

A fraction of core-collapse supernovae (SNe) with signs of interaction with a dense circumstellar matter are preceded by bright precursor emission. While the precursors are likely…
