Twin peaks: SN 2021uvy and SN 2022hgk in the landscape of double-peaked stripped envelope supernovae
Yashvi Sharma, Jesper Sollerman, William Meynardie +25
In recent years, a class of stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) showing two distinct light-curve peaks has emerged, where the first peak cannot be attributed to shock cooling emis…
Low-Luminosity Type IIP Supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe. I: Luminosity Function, Volumetric Rate
Kaustav K. Das, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Christoffer Fremling +51
We present the luminosity function and volumetric rate of a sample of Type IIP supernovae (SNe) from the Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe survey (CLU). This i…
A cosmic formation site of silicon and sulphur revealed by a new type of supernova explosion
Steve Schulze, Avishay Gal-Yam, Luc Dessart +47
The cores of stars are the cosmic furnaces where light elements are fused into heavier nuclei. The fusion of hydrogen to helium initially powers all stars. The ashes of the fusion…
Probing pre-supernova mass loss in double-peaked Type Ibc supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility
Kaustav K. Das, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Jesper Sollerman +34
Eruptive mass loss of massive stars prior to supernova (SN) explosion is key to understanding their evolution and end fate. An observational signature of pre-SN mass loss is the de…
Long-rising Type II Supernovae in the Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe
Tawny Sit, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Anastasios Tzanidakis +25
SN 1987A was an unusual hydrogen-rich core-collapse supernova originating from a blue supergiant star. Similar blue supergiant explosions remain a small family of events, and are b…
Collapsars as Sites of r-process Nucleosynthesis: Systematic Near-Infrared Follow-up of Type Ic-BL Supernovae
Shreya Anand, Jennifer Barnes, Sheng Yang +41
One of the open questions following the discovery of GW170817 is whether neutron star mergers are the only astrophysical sites capable of producing -process elements. Simulation…
Volumetric rates of Luminous Red Novae and Intermediate Luminosity Red Transients with the Zwicky Transient Facility
Viraj R. Karambelkar, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Nadejda Blagorodnova +27
Luminous red novae (LRNe) are transients characterized by low luminosities and expansion velocities, and are associated with mergers or common envelope ejections in stellar binarie…
Probing the low-mass end of core-collapse supernovae using a sample of strongly-stripped Calcium-rich Type IIb Supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility
Kaustav K. Das, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Christoffer Fremling +23
The fate of stars in the zero-age main-sequence (ZAMS) range Msun is unclear. They could evolve to form white dwarfs or explode as electron-capture supernovae (SNe)…
