Decadal pre-explosion activity and circumstellar interaction in a supernova
Ting-Wan Chen, Amar Aryan, Sheng Yang +52
When a massive star explodes as a supernova, crucial information about its immediate environment is lost within hours. Here we report rapid optical observations from Lulin Observat…
A Disappearing Act: Constraints From "Missing" Flares of Repeating Partial TDE Candidates
Jason T. Hinkle, Chang Liu, Adam A. Miller +6
Recurrent tidal disruption events (rTDEs) are sources that exhibit multiple TDE-like flares; many are likely powered by the recurring partial disruption of a bound star, in a repea…
JWST Reveals Large Reservoirs of Dust and Ongoing Circumstellar Interaction in SN Ibn/Icn 2023xgo over a Year Post-Explosion
Kyle W. Davis, Kirsty Taggart, Samaporn Tinyanont +23
We present infrared (IR) photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2023xgo, a recent and nearby Type Ibn/Icn supernova (SN Ibn/Icn) which shows shock interaction with a He/C…
JWST Nebular Spectroscopy of SN 2023qov: Circumstellar Dust Emission in a Normal Type Ia Supernova
Colin W. Macrie, Conor Larison, Huei Sears +43
We present panchromatic observations of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2023qov, ranging from 2 weeks before to 1 year after maximum light. JWST near- and mid-infrared sp…
SCAT Data Release 1: 1812 optical spectra of 1331 transients
Michael A. Tucker, Mark E. Huber, Benjamin J. Shappee +19
We present the first data release (DR1) of the Spectroscopic Classification of Astronomical Transients (SCAT) survey, covering the first years of observations (March 20…
SN 2024iss: A Multi-Wavelength Exposé of a Type IIb Supernova with an Early-Time Ultraviolet Spectrum and Shock Breakout Constraints
Rujula Yete, Wynn Jacobson-Galan, Ferdinand Ferdinand +49
We present multi-wavelength observations and a comprehensive analysis of the nearby (D14 Mpc) Type IIb supernova (SN IIb) 2024iss. Observations of SN2024iss include an early…
ASAS-SN Rates IV: Constraints on the Kilonova Rate
Dhvanil D. Desai, Benjamin J. Shappee, Christopher S. Kochanek +10
Kilonovae (KNe) are the electromagnetic signatures of neutron star mergers and are likely the dominant site of cosmic -process nucleosynthesis. However, their intrinsic rate rem…
AT 2024ahzi: A Type IIP Supernova Discovered by the LSST Commissioning Camera
Kaylee de Soto, V. Ashley Villar, Jared A. Goldberg +25
As part of its commissioning, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory observed several fields repeatedly for a month with ComCam, an instrument that uses the same hardware as the LSST camera…
Contemporaneous Optical and Near-Infrared Observations of the Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Pre- and Post-Perihelion
Kyle Medler, Willem B. Hoogendam, Christopher Ashall +12
Interstellar objects provide a unique view into the formation of other star systems. Here we present spectroscopic observations of the recently discovered interstellar object 3I/AT…
