AT 2016blu: Accretion-Powered Outbursts in a Luminous Blue Variable and Compact Object Binary
Mojgan Aghakhanloo, Núria Torres-Albà, Nathan Smith +33
We present the first X-ray detection of the supernova (SN) impostor AT 2016blu in NGC 4559. AT 2016blu exhibited 27 detected quasiperiodic (~113 day) outbursts between 2012 and Jun…
JWST Spectroscopy of Type Ia Supernova 2025rbs from Maximum Light to the Nebular Phase
Lindsey A. Kwok, Stéphane Blondin, Adam A. Miller +53
We present JWST observations of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2025rbs (14.5 Mpc) at +1, +23, and +84 days after B-band maximum, spanning peak light through a wavelength-depende…
Ultraviolet to Infrared Spectroscopy of the Type Ibn SN 2023tsz Suggests a Lower-mass Progenitor
Sergiy S. Vasylyev, Griffin Hosseinzadeh, Luc Dessart +42
Type Ibn supernovae are stripped-envelope explosions whose spectra indicate interaction with dense, helium-rich and hydrogen-poor circumstellar material (CSM), making them importan…
Evidence for Asymmetric Ejecta and Circumstellar Material in SN 2023ixf Inferred from Extensive Nebular-phase Observations
Brian Hsu, Nathan Smith, K. Azalee Bostroem +34
We present extensive optical and near-infrared (NIR) observations of the nearby Type II supernova (SN II) 2023ixf in the nebular phase from +89 days to +749 days after explosion, s…
JWST observations of SN 2024abup: First Detection of CO in a broad-lined Type Ic Supernova and Constraints on r-process Nucleosynthesis
Manisha Shrestha, Lindsey A. Kwok, David J. Sand +42
SN 2024abup is a nearby broad-lined Type Ic supernova (SN Ic-bl) in NGC 0681 at a distance of 23.3 \pm 1.6 Mpc. As energetic explosions of massive stars, SNe Ic-bl are considered a…
EP251023a: A fast X-ray transient featuring a magnetar-powered optical internal plateau followed by a steep decay
Shuai-Qing Jiang, Dong Xu, Wei-Hua Lei +33
EP251023a is an extragalactic fast X-ray transient (eFXT) detected solely by EP without a gamma-ray counterpart. The prompt emission consists of a main emission with a duration $T_…
