The Remarkable Late-Time Flux Excess in Hubble Space Telescope Observations of the Type Iax Supernova 2012Z

Michaela Schwab, Lindsey A. Kwok, Saurabh W. Jha +7

Type Iax supernovae (SNe Iax) are thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs, peculiar and underluminous compared to the normal type Ia supernovae. Observations of SNe Iax provide in…

Ground-based and JWST Observations of SN 2022pul: I. Unusual Signatures of Carbon, Oxygen, and Circumstellar Interaction in a Peculiar Type Ia Supernova

Matthew R. Siebert, Lindsey A. Kwok, Joel Johansson +79

Nebular-phase observations of peculiar Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) provide important constraints on progenitor scenarios and explosion dynamics for both these rare SNe and the more…

Ground-based and JWST Observations of SN 2022pul: II. Evidence from Nebular Spectroscopy for a Violent Merger in a Peculiar Type-Ia Supernova

Lindsey A. Kwok, Matthew R. Siebert, Joel Johansson +78

We present an analysis of ground-based and JWST observations of SN~2022pul, a peculiar "03fg-like" (or "super-Chandrasekhar") Type Ia supernova (SN Ia), in the nebular phase at 338…

Environmental Dependence of Type Ia Supernovae in Low-Redshift Galaxy Clusters

Conor Larison, Saurabh W. Jha, Lindsey A. Kwok +1

We present an analysis of 102 type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in nearby (z < 0.1), x-ray selected galaxy clusters. This is the largest such sample to date and is based on archival data…

Over 500 Days in the Life of the Photosphere of the Type Iax Supernova SN 2014dt

Yssavo Camacho-Neves, Saurabh W. Jha, Barnabas Barna +20

Type Iax supernovae (SN Iax) are the largest known class of peculiar white dwarf supernovae, distinct from normal Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia). The unique properties of SN Iax, espec…

SALT3-NIR: Taking the Open-Source Type Ia Supernova Model to Longer Wavelengths for Next-Generation Cosmological Measurements

J. D. R. Pierel, D. O. Jones, W. D. Kenworthy +32

A large fraction of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) observations over the next decade will be in the near-infrared (NIR), at wavelengths beyond the reach of the current standard light-cu…

Ultraviolet Spectroscopy and TARDIS Models of the Broad-lined Type-Ic Supernova 2014ad

Lindsey A. Kwok, Marc Williamson, Saurabh W. Jha +11

Few published ultraviolet (UV) spectra exist for stripped-envelope supernovae, and none to date for broad-lined Type Ic supernovae (SN Ic-bl). These objects have extremely high eje…
