Observable Signatures of Supernova Shock Breakout in Confined Circumstellar Medium

Wun-Yi Chen, Ke-Jung Chen, Keiichi Maeda +1

Supernova shock breakout encodes rich information about stellar explosions, including the properties of the progenitor, the explosion mechanism, and the circumstellar environment.…

Interacting Binary Stars as Progenitors for Interacting Supernovae

Sung-Han Tsai, Ke-Jung Chen, Keiichi Maeda +2

Dense, compact circumstellar media (CSM) are required to power strongly interacting supernovae, yet their physical origin remains uncertain. We present a systematic study of binary…

Accurate Determination of Chemical Abundances near a Supermassive Black Hole

The XRISM collaboration

The metal abundances in galactic nuclei carry key information on the history of star formation and mass transfer in central regions of galaxies. X-ray fluorescence analysis is a un…

Multi-wavelength Signatures of Supernova Shock Breakout from Red Supergiants in Two Dimensions

Wun-Yi Chen, Ke-Jung Chen, Keiichi Maeda +3

We present new two-dimensional radiation hydrodynamic simulations of supernova shock breakout from red supergiants using the code. Our progenitors are 20 and 25 M…

Fading Echoes of Interaction: Probing Centuries of Preexplosion Mass-Loss in Four Type IIn Supernovae

Elizabeth Hillenkamp, Raphael Baer-Way, Poonam Chandra +6

Supernovae characterized by enduring narrow optical hydrogen emission lines (SNe IIn) are believed to result primarily from the core-collapse of massive stars undergoing sustained…

Formation of circumstellar material during double-white-dwarf mergers and the early excess emissions in Type Ia supernovae

Yusuke Inoue, Keiichi Maeda, Takashi Nagao +1

Early excess emission observed in Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) within day of explosion provides a critical window into their progenitor systems. In the present study, we inv…

Red Supergiant problem viewed from the nebular phase spectroscopy of type II supernovae

Qiliang Fang, Takashi J. Moriya, Keiichi Maeda

The red supergiant (RSG) problem refers to the observed dearth of luminous RSGs identified as progenitors of Type II supernovae (SNe II) in pre-SN imaging. Understanding this pheno…

Probing the Origin of the Star Formation Excess Discovered by JWST through Gamma-Ray Bursts

Tatsuya Matsumoto, Yuichi Harikane, Keiichi Maeda +1

The recent observations by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed a larger number of bright galaxies at than was expected. The origin of this excess is st…

Diversity in hydrogen-rich envelope mass of type II supernovae (II): SN 2023ixf as explosion of partially-stripped intermediate massive star

Qiliang Fang, Takashi J. Moriya, Lucía Ferrari +6

SN 2023ixf is one of the most well-observed core-collapse supernova in recent decades, yet there is inconsistency in the inferred zero-age-main-sequence (ZAMS) mass …

Properties of gamma-ray decay lines in 3D core-collapse supernova models, with application to SN 1987A and Cas A

A. Jerkstrand, A. Wongwathanarat, H. -T. Janka +8

Comparison of theoretical line profiles to observations provides important tests for supernova explosion models. We study the shapes of radioactive decay lines predicted by current…
