Constraining Type Iax Supernova Progenitor Systems with Stellar Population Aging
Tyler Takaro, Ryan J. Foley, Curtis McCully +6
Type Iax supernovae (SNe~Iax) are the most common class of peculiar SNe. While they are thought to be thermonuclear white-dwarf (WD) SNe, SNe~Iax are observationally similar to, bu…

A Potential Progenitor for the Type Ic Supernova 2017ein
Charles D. Kilpatrick, Tyler Takaro, Ryan J. Foley +9
We report the first detection of a credible progenitor system for a Type Ic supernova (SN Ic), SN 2017ein. We present spectra and photometry of the SN, finding it to be similar to…
