SN 2022erq: A Superluminous Thermonuclear Supernova with Escalating Preexplosion Mass Loss
Qian Zhai, Jujia Zhang, Xiaofeng Wang +51
We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the superluminous Type Ia supernova SN 2022erq. Its early spectra, dominated by iron-group elements with weak intermediate-mass…
Asteroseismic Analysis of the Merger Product Red Giant in the Persei System
Rozália Z. Ãdám, László Molnár, Róbert Szabó +7
Context. Persei is a long-period eclipsing binary system ( years) containing a red giant primary, and it is well known for its multi-faceted classification as a…
Long-term optical and near-infrared photometric evolution of SN 2019vxm, an interacting Type IIn supernova
Klára Lelkes, László Molnár, József Vinkó +12
The diversity of Type IIn supernovae is largely driven by the properties of the circumstellar material (CSM) they explode into. We examine the temporal evolution of SN 2019vxm, an…
Rings Around Non-Spherical Worlds: Sub-mm Dust Retention Around Triaxial Small Bodies in the Solar System
Zs. Regaly, V. Frohlich, Cs. Kalup +1
We investigated the millennial-scale evolution of narrow innermost rings composed of pebble-sized to sub-millimeter particles around the four known ring-bearing small bodies Chiron…
JWST occultation reveals unforeseen complexity in Chariklo's ring system
Pablo Santos-Sanz, Altair R. Gomes-Júnior, Bruno E. Morgado +25
Ring systems have been discovered around several small bodies in the outer Solar System through stellar occultations. While such measurements provide key information about ring geo…
