SN 2025aico: Early observations of a faint Type IIb supernova with a low-mass envelope
J. -W. Zhao, A. Pastorello, B. Kumar +45
We aimed to investigate the physical properties and the underlying explosion mechanisms of the Type IIb SN 2025aico. Through a comprehensive analysis of early-phase optical light c…
SN 2019vxm: A luminous and long-lived Type IIn supernova with early flash-ionisation features
Y. -Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, T. J. Moriya +38
We present the photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the luminous and long-lasting Type IIn supernova (SN) 2019vxm. The SN reaches a peak V-band absolute magnitude of MV = -20.…
AT 2025abao: The fourth luminous red nova in M 31
A. Reguitti, A. Pastorello, G. Valerin +15
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the luminous red nova (LRN) AT 2025abao, the fourth discovered in M 31. The LRN, associated to the asymptotic giant branch…
A New Catalogue of Galactic Red Supergiants for direct detection of episodic mass-loss events
M. Lauriano, F. Bocchino, M. Miceli +5
We present GalRSG, a new catalogue of 227 Galactic Red Supergiants in the Scutum-Crux region, which provides a nearly coeval and co-distant sample, target of a long-term, panchroma…
SN 2017ati: A luminous type IIb explosion from a massive progenitor
Z. -H. Peng, S. Benetti, Y. -Z. Cai +21
We present optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the Type~IIb supernova (SN)~2017ati. It reached the maximum light at about 27~d after the explosion and the light c…
Nested, asymmetric H-He circumstellar shells in the Type Icn/Ibn SN 2024abvb
The INTEL Collaboration, J. P. Anderson, C. Aster +17
Interacting transients probe mass loss in the final stages of stellar evolution; however, the geometry and timing of multi-episode mass loss remain poorly constrained. SN 2024abvb…
SN 2022ngb: A faint, slowly evolving Type IIb supernova with a low-mass envelope
J. -W. Zhao, S. Benetti, Y. -Z. Cai +35
An extensive photometric and spectroscopic follow-up campaign of the Type IIb SN 2022ngb is presented in the article. Through detailed modeling of this dataset, we aim to constrain…
SN 2016iog: A fast declining Type II-L supernova with an ultra-faint tail, persistently interacting with circumstellar material
Z. -H. Peng, S. Benetti, Y. -Z. Cai +26
We present optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the rapidly declining Type IIL supernova (SN) 2016iog. SN 2016iog reached its peak 14 days after explosion,…
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…
Long-term evolution of the SN 2009ip-like transient SN 2016cvk
K. Matilainen, E. Kankare, S. Mattila +21
The interacting transient SN 2016cvk (ASASSN-16jt) is a member of the peculiar SN 2009ip-like events. We present our follow-up data and aim to draw conclusions about the physical n…
Explosion sites of SN 1994W-like transients

We study a sample of narrow-line transients that share characteristics with the Type IIn classified supernova (SN) 1994W, a prototypical member of this class of events, via investi…
The fate of the progenitors of luminous red novae: Infrared detection of LRNe years after the outburst
A. Reguitti, A. Pastorello, G. Valerin
We present late-time optical and infrared (IR) observations of a sample of nine extragalactic luminous red novae (LRNe) discovered in the past three decades. In all of these cases,…
A long-lasting eruption heralds SN 2023ldh, a clone of SN 2009ip
