Peculiar SN Ic 2022esa: An explosion of a massive Wolf-Rayet star in a binary as a precursor to a BH-BH binary?
Keiichi Maeda, Hanindyo Kuncarayakti, Takashi Nagao +4
A class of supernovae (SNe) termed `SN Ic-CSM' are characterized by late-time emergence of narrow emission lines of elements formed in the oxygen core of a massive star. A popular…
Spectral evolution of the narrow emission line components in optical during the 2022 nova eruption of U Scorpii
Katsuki Muraoka, Naoto Kojiguchi, Junpei Ito +20
There remains debate over whether the accretion disk survives or is entirely disrupted after the nova eruption. In our previous paper, Muraoka et al. (2024, PASJ, 76, 293) have pho…
Smart Kanata: A Framework for Autonomous Decision Making in Rapid Follow-up Observations of Cataclysmic Variables
Makoto Uemura, Yuzuki Koga, Ryosuke Sazaki +11
Studying the early stages of transient events provides crucial information about the fundamental physical processes in cataclysmic variables (CVs). However, determining an appropri…
Discovery of Two New Eruptions of the Ultrashort Recurrence Time Nova M31N 2017-01e
Allen W. Shafter, Jingyuan Zhao, Kamil Hornoch +15
We report the recent discovery of two new eruptions of the recurrent nova M31N 2017-01e in the Andromeda galaxy. The latest eruption, M31N 2024-08c, reached on 2024 August…
MASTER OT J030227.28+191754.5: an unprecedentedly energetic dwarf nova outburst
Yusuke Tampo, Taichi Kato, Keisuke Isogai +60
We present a detailed study of the MASTER OT J030227.28+191754.5 outburst in 2021-2022, reaching an amplitude of 10.2 mag and a duration of 60 d. The detections of (1) the double-p…
Optical and soft X-ray light-curve analysis during the 2022 eruption of U Scorpii: structural changes in the accretion disk
Katsuki Muraoka, Naoto Kojiguchi, Junpei Ito +52
We present our optical photometric observations of the 2022 eruption of the recurrent nova U Scorpii (U Sco) using 49,152 data points over 70 d following the optical peak. We have…
Spectra of V1405 Cas at the very beginning indicate a low-mass ONeMg white dwarf progenitor
Kenta Taguchi, Keiichi Maeda, Hiroyuki Maehara +9
The lowest possible mass of ONeMg white dwarfs (WDs) has not been clarified despite its importance in the formation and evolution of WDs. We tackle this issue by studying the prope…
The broad-lined Type-Ic supernova SN 2022xxf with extraordinary two-humped light curves
H. Kuncarayakti, J. Sollerman, L. Izzo +60
We report on our study of supernova (SN) 2022xxf based on observations obtained during the first four months of its evolution. The light curves (LCs) display two humps of similar m…
M31N 2017-01e: Discovery of a Previous Eruption in this Enigmatic Recurrent Nova
Allen W. Shafter, Kenta Taguchi, Jingyuan Zhao +1
We report the discovery of a previously unknown eruption of the recurrent nova M31N 2017-01e that took place on 11 January 2012. The earlier eruption was detected by Pan-STARRS and…
PNV J00444033+4113068: early superhumps with 0.7 mag amplitude and non-red color
Yusuke Tampo, Keisuke Isogai, Naoto Kojiguchi +13
In the first days of WZ Sge-type dwarf nova (DN) outbursts, the 2:1 resonance induces a spiral arm structure in the accretion disk, which is observed as early superhumps in optical…
Spectroscopic and Photometric Observations of Dwarf Nova Superoutbursts by the 3.8 m Telescope Seimei and the Variable Star Network
Yusuke Tampo, Keisuke Isogai, Naoto Kojiguchi +59
We present spectroscopic and photometric observations of 17 dwarf-nova superoutbursts obtained by KOOLS-IFU mounted on the 3.8 m telescope Seimei at Okayama Observatory of Kyoto Un…
ASASSN-16dt and ASASSN-16hg: Promising Candidates for a Period Bouncer
Mariko Kimura, Keisuke Isogai, Taichi Kato +13
We present optical photometry of superoutbursts in 2016 of two WZ Sge-type dwarf novae (DNe), ASASSN-16dt and ASASSN-16hg. Their light curves showed a dip in brightness between the…
