SN 2025aico: Early observations of a faint Type IIb supernova with a low-mass envelope

J. -W. Zhao, A. Pastorello, B. Kumar +45

We aimed to investigate the physical properties and the underlying explosion mechanisms of the Type IIb SN 2025aico. Through a comprehensive analysis of early-phase optical light c…

SN 2017ati: A luminous type IIb explosion from a massive progenitor

Z. -H. Peng, S. Benetti, Y. -Z. Cai +21

We present optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the Type~IIb supernova (SN)~2017ati. It reached the maximum light at about 27~d after the explosion and the light c…

The hydrogen-free circumstellar interaction in the Type Ib supernova 2021efd: A clue to the mechanism of the helium-layer stripping

N. Pyykkinen, T. Nagao, H. Kuncarayakti +27

Stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe), including Type IIb, Ib, and Ic supernovae (SNe), originate from the explosions of massive stars whose outer envelopes have been largely remove…

SN 2022ngb: A faint, slowly evolving Type IIb supernova with a low-mass envelope

J. -W. Zhao, S. Benetti, Y. -Z. Cai +35

An extensive photometric and spectroscopic follow-up campaign of the Type IIb SN 2022ngb is presented in the article. Through detailed modeling of this dataset, we aim to constrain…

Massive stars exploding in a He-rich circumstellar medium XII. SN 2024acyl: A fast, linearly declining Type Ibn supernova with early flash-ionisation features

Y. -Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, K. Maeda +63

We present a photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the Type Ibn supernova (SN) 2024acyl. It rises to an absolute magnitude peak of about -17.58 mag in 10.6 days, and displays a…

SN2017ckj: A linearly declining Type IIb supernova with a relatively massive hydrogen envelope

L. -H. Li, S. Benetti, Y. -Z. Cai +26

We present optical observations of the Type IIb supernova (SN) 2017ckj, covering approximately 180 days after the explosion. Its early-time multi-band light curves display no clear…

A long-lasting eruption heralds SN 2023ldh, a clone of SN 2009ip

A. Pastorello, A. Reguitti, L. Tartaglia +46

We discuss the results of the spectroscopic and photometric monitoring of the type IIn supernova (SN) 2023ldh. Survey archive data show that the SN progenitor experienced some erra…

A study in scarlet -- II. Spectroscopic properties of a sample of Intermediate Luminosity Red Transients

G. Valerin, A. Pastorello, E. Mason +65

We investigate the spectroscopic characteristics of Intermediate Luminosity Red Transients (ILRTs), a class of elusive objects with peak luminosity between that of classical novae…

SN 2020pvb: a Type IIn-P supernova with a precursor outburst

Nancy Elias-Rosa, Seán J. Brennan, Stefano Benetti +37

We present photometric and spectroscopic data sets for SN 2020pvb, a Type IIn-P supernova (SN) similar to SNe 1994W, 2005cl, 2009kn and 2011ht, with a precursor outburst detected (…

PESSTO : survey description and products from the first data release by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects

S. J. Smartt, S. Valenti, M. Fraser +99

The Public European Southern Observatory Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO) began as a public spectroscopic survey in April 2012. We describe the data reduction str…

SN 2009kn - the twin of the Type IIn supernova 1994W

E. Kankare, M. Ergon, F. Bufano +17

We present an optical and near-infrared photometric and spectroscopic study of supernova (SN) 2009kn spanning ~1.5 yr from the discovery. The optical spectra are dominated by the n…
