The hydrogen-free circumstellar interaction in the Type Ib supernova 2021efd: A clue to the mechanism of the helium-layer stripping
N. Pyykkinen, T. Nagao, H. Kuncarayakti +27
Stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe), including Type IIb, Ib, and Ic supernovae (SNe), originate from the explosions of massive stars whose outer envelopes have been largely remove…
Giant outbursts of clumpy material preceding Type II supernova 2024qiw
T. Nagao, H. Kuncarayakti, K. Maeda +6
Observations of core-collapse supernovae suggest that some massive stars undergo intense mass loss shortly before explosion, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Here we r…
Massive stars exploding in a He-rich circumstellar medium XII. SN 2024acyl: A fast, linearly declining Type Ibn supernova with early flash-ionisation features
Y. -Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, K. Maeda +63
We present a photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the Type Ibn supernova (SN) 2024acyl. It rises to an absolute magnitude peak of about -17.58 mag in 10.6 days, and displays a…
Analytical modeling of polarization signals arising from confined circumstellar material in Type II supernovae
T. Nagao, K. Maeda, T. Matsumoto
Recent observations of Type II supernovae (SNe) have brought a challenge in our understanding on the final evolutionary stage of massive stars. The early-time spectra and light cur…
The nebular phase of SN 2024ggi: a low-mass progenitor with no signs of interaction
L. Ferrari, G. Folatelli, K. Ertini +14
Context: SN 2024ggi is a Type II supernova (SN) discovered in the nearby galaxy NGC 3621 (D Mpc) on 2024 April 03.21 UT. Its proximity enabled a detailed investi…
Luminous, rapidly declining supernovae as stripped transitional objects in low metallicity environments: the case of SN 2022lxg
P. Charalampopoulos, R. Kotak, J. Sollerman +24
We present an analysis of the optical and near-infrared properties of SN 2022lxg, a bright ( mag) and rapidly evolving SN. It was discovered withi…
Observational diversity of bright long-lived Type II supernovae
T. Nagao, T. M. Reynolds, H. Kuncarayakti +21
In various types of supernovae (SNe), strong interaction between the SN ejecta and circumstellar material (CSM) has been reported. This raises questions on their progenitors and ma…
The bright long-lived Type II SN 2021irp powered by aspherical circumstellar material interaction (II): Estimating the CSM mass and geometry with polarimetry and light curve modeling
T. M. Reynolds, T. Nagao, K. Maeda +7
There is evidence for interaction between supernova (SN) ejecta and massive circumstellar material (CSM) in various types of SNe. The mass-ejection mechanisms that produce massive…
The bright long-lived Type II SN 2021irp powered by aspherical circumstellar material interaction (I): Revealing the energy source with photometry and spectroscopy
T. M. Reynolds, T. Nagao, R. Gottumukkala +20
Some core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are too luminous and radiate too much total energy to be powered by the release of thermal energy from the ejecta and radioactive-decay energy…
