Observations of Low and Intermediate Spectral Peak Blazars with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Herman L. Marshall, Ioannis Liodakis, Alan P. Marscher +145
We present X-ray polarimetry observations from the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) of three low spectral peak and one intermediate spectral peak blazars, namely 3C 273, 3…
Strong Carbon Features and a Red Early Color in the Underluminous Type Ia SN 2022xkq
Jeniveve Pearson, David J. Sand, Peter Lundqvist +85
We present optical, infrared, ultraviolet, and radio observations of SN 2022xkq, an underluminous fast-declining type Ia supernova (SN Ia) in NGC 1784 ( Mpc),…
Serendipitous detection of the dusty Type IIL SN 1980K with JWST/MIRI
Szanna Zsíros, Tamás Szalai, Ilse De Looze +39
We present mid-infrared (mid-IR) imaging of the Type IIL supernova (SN) 1980K with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) more than 40 yr post-explosion. SN 1980K, located in the ne…
Keck Infrared Transient Survey I: Survey Description and Data Release 1
S. Tinyanont, R. J. Foley, K. Taggart +35
We present the Keck Infrared Transient Survey (KITS), a NASA Key Strategic Mission Support program to obtain near-infrared (NIR) spectra of astrophysical transients of all types, a…
Ground-based and JWST Observations of SN 2022pul: I. Unusual Signatures of Carbon, Oxygen, and Circumstellar Interaction in a Peculiar Type Ia Supernova
Matthew R. Siebert, Lindsey A. Kwok, Joel Johansson +79
Nebular-phase observations of peculiar Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) provide important constraints on progenitor scenarios and explosion dynamics for both these rare SNe and the more…
SN 2022joj: A Potential Double Detonation with a Thin Helium shell
E. Padilla Gonzalez, D. A. Howell, G. Terreran +34
We present photometric and spectroscopic data for SN 2022joj, a nearby peculiar Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) with a fast decline rate ( mag). SN 2022joj shows exce…
Ground-based and JWST Observations of SN 2022pul: II. Evidence from Nebular Spectroscopy for a Violent Merger in a Peculiar Type-Ia Supernova
Lindsey A. Kwok, Matthew R. Siebert, Joel Johansson +78
We present an analysis of ground-based and JWST observations of SN~2022pul, a peculiar "03fg-like" (or "super-Chandrasekhar") Type Ia supernova (SN Ia), in the nebular phase at 338…
Type II-P Supernova Progenitor Star Initial Masses and SN 2020jfo: Direct Detection, Light Curve Properties, Nebular Spectroscopy, and Local Environment
Charles D. Kilpatrick, Luca Izzo, Rory O. Bentley +23
We present optical, ultraviolet, and infrared data of the type II supernova (SN II) 2020jfo at 14.5 Mpc. This wealth of multiwavelength data allows to compare different metrics com…
A compilation of optical starlight polarization catalogs
G. V. Panopoulou, L. Markopoulioti, F. Bouzelou +7
Polarimetry of stars at optical and near-infrared wavelengths is an invaluable tool for tracing interstellar dust and magnetic fields. Recent studies have demonstrated the power of…
SN 2023ixf in Messier 101: Photo-ionization of Dense, Close-in Circumstellar Material in a Nearby Type II Supernova
W. V. Jacobson-Galan, L. Dessart, R. Margutti +65
We present UV/optical observations and models of supernova (SN) 2023ixf, a type II SN located in Messier 101 at 6.9 Mpc. Early-time ("flash") spectroscopy of SN 2023ixf, obtained p…
From Dust to Nanodust: Resolving Circumstellar Dust from the Colliding-Wind Binary Wolf-Rayet (WR) 140
Ryan M. Lau, Jason Wang, Matthew J. Hankins +17
Wolf-Rayet (WR) 140 is the archetypal periodic dust-forming colliding-wind binary that hosts a carbon-rich WR (WC) star and an O-star companion with an orbital period of 7.93 years…
A Low-Mass Helium Star Progenitor Model for the Type Ibn SN 2020nxt
Qinan Wang, Anika Goel, Luc Dessart +55
A growing number of supernovae (SNe) are now known to exhibit evidence for significant interaction with a dense, pre-existing, circumstellar medium (CSM). SNe Ibn comprise one such…
YSE-PZ: A Transient Survey Management Platform that Empowers the Human-in-the-Loop
