A Quantitative Method to Investigate the Spectral Class Time Evolution of Novae

Maria Kopsacheili, Martín Guerrero, Diego Alejandro Vasquez Torres

Novae are spectroscopically classified as Fe II or He/N according to the dominance of Fe II, or He and N emission lines in their pre-nebular spectra, while spectra exhibiting both…

New X-ray Supernova Remnants in NGC 7793

Maria Kopsacheili, Konstantina Anastasopoulou, Nanda Rea +2

This work focuses on the detection of X-ray Supernova Remnants (SNRs) in the galaxy NGC 7793 and the study of their properties. X-ray SNRs in galaxies beyond the Local Group are ra…

Observational diversity of bright long-lived Type II supernovae

T. Nagao, T. M. Reynolds, H. Kuncarayakti +21

In various types of supernovae (SNe), strong interaction between the SN ejecta and circumstellar material (CSM) has been reported. This raises questions on their progenitors and ma…

Rapid follow-up observations of infant supernovae with the Gran Telescopio Canarias

Lluís Galbany, Claudia P. Gutiérrez, Lara Piscarreta +21

The first few hours of a supernova (SN) contain significant information about the progenitor system. The most modern wide-field surveys that scan the sky repeatedly every few days…

The fast rise of the unusual Type IIL/IIb SN 2018ivc

A. Reguitti, R. Dastidar, G. Pignata +22

We present an analysis of the photometric and spectroscopic dataset of the Type II supernova (SN) 2018ivc in the nearby (10 Mpc) galaxy Messier 77. Thanks to the high cadence of th…

Supernova Remnant properties and Luminosity Functions in NGC 7793 using MUSE IFS

Maria Kopsacheili, Cristina Jiménez-Palau, Lluís Galbany +2

In this study we use MUSE Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS), along with multi-line diagnostics, for the optical identification of Supernova Remnants (SNRs) in the galaxy NGC 7793.…
