A Significant Dust Reservoir Uncovered with JWST in the Type Ic SN 1983V More Than 40 Years Post-Explosion

Sophia S. Kressy, Thomas Moore, Ori D. Fox +26

Searching for late-time emission from supernovae (SNe) is an active field. Infrared (IR) wavelengths are sensitive to thermal emission from dust, which can be used to probe SN cont…

On the Origin of a Dusty Circumstellar Medium around Red Supergiants

Das Sujit, Arkaprabha Sarangi, Sutirtha Sengupta

Red supergiant (RSG) stars are widely recognized as significant sources of dust, enriching the interstellar medium. However, the physical conditions that regulate dust nucleation i…

JWST Spectra Indicate a Large Mass of Postshock Dust Formed by SN 2010jl

Nathan Smith, Melissa Shahbandeh, Ori D. Fox +22

We present new JWST mid-IR spectra and ground-based optical spectra of the lingering source at the position of SN 2010jl, which was a relatively nearby superluminous Type IIn super…

Nebular Phase Evolution of SN 2023ixf (I): From Circumstellar Infrared Echo to the onset of in-situ Dust Formation in a Type II Supernova

Avinash Singh, S. Goto, A. Sarangi +58

We present optical and near-infrared (NIR) photometric and spectroscopic observations of the Type II supernova SN 2023ixf spanning 150 to 750 days, combined with published early-ti…

Type Iax supernovae as a source of iron-rich silicate dust

Aman Kumar, Arkaprabha Sarangi

We model the formation of dust in the ejecta of Type Iax supernovae (SNe), which is a low-luminosity subclass of Type Ia SNe. A non-equilibrium chemical kinetic approach is adopted…

Radial dust distributions and obscuring geometry in AGN from JWST/MIRI spectroscopy

Ruiyu Pan, Arkaprabha Sarangi

The spatial distribution of obscuring dust in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is critical for distinguishing between static torus models and dynamical disk-wind scenarios. To constrai…
