JWST Spectra Indicate a Large Mass of Postshock Dust Formed by SN 2010jl
Nathan Smith, Melissa Shahbandeh, Ori D. Fox +22
We present new JWST mid-IR spectra and ground-based optical spectra of the lingering source at the position of SN 2010jl, which was a relatively nearby superluminous Type IIn super…
The Age of the R127 & R128 Clusters: Implications for the LBV
Mojgan Aghakhanloo, Jeremiah W. Murphy, Nathan Smith +1
We infer the age of the R127 and R128 clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using Strömgren photometry from the literature and the age-dating algorithm, Stellar Ages. Analys…
Fading Echoes of Interaction: Probing Centuries of Preexplosion Mass-Loss in Four Type IIn Supernovae
Elizabeth Hillenkamp, Raphael Baer-Way, Poonam Chandra +6
Supernovae characterized by enduring narrow optical hydrogen emission lines (SNe IIn) are believed to result primarily from the core-collapse of massive stars undergoing sustained…
Simulating Chemical Abundances in the Circumstellar Nebula of the Late Stage Binary RY Scuti
Sarah H. Taft, Robert D. Gehrz, Charles E. Woodward +3
RY Scuti, thought to be a Wolf-Rayet (WR) progenitor, is a massive, post-main-sequence, binary star system undergoing Roche lobe overflow (RLOF). SOFIA (+FORCAST) spectroscopy of t…
A Multiwavelength Autopsy of the Interacting IIn Supernova 2020ywx: Tracing its Progenitor Mass-Loss History for 100 Years before Death
Raphael Baer-Way, Poonam Chandra, Maryam Modjaz +31
While the subclass of interacting supernovae with narrow hydrogen emission lines (SNe IIn) consists of some of the longest-lasting and brightest SNe ever discovered, their progenit…
The Statistics and Environments of Hostless Supernovae
Yu-Jing Qin, Ann Zabludoff, Iair Arcavi +3
Transient surveys routinely detect supernovae (SNe) without obvious host galaxies. To understand the demographics of these "hostless" SNe and to constrain the possible host propert…
Shockingly Bright Warm Carbon Monoxide Molecular Features in the Supernova Remnant Cassiopeia A Revealed by JWST
J. Rho, S. -H. Park, R. Arendt +36
We present JWST NIRCam (F356W and F444W filters) and MIRI (F770W) images and NIRSpec- IFU spectroscopy of the young supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). We obtained the data as…
A surge of light at the birth of a supernova
M. C. Bersten, G. Folatelli, F. García +18
It is difficult to establish the properties of massive stars that explode as supernovae. The electromagnetic emission during the first minutes to hours after the emergence of the s…
Predicting the Presence of Companions for Stripped-Envelope Supernovae: The Case of the Broad-Lined Type Ic SN 2002ap
E. Zapartas, S. E. de Mink, S. D. Van Dyk +10
Many young, massive stars are found in close binaries. Using population synthesis simulations we predict the likelihood of a companion star being present when these massive stars e…
Three-dimensional distribution of ejecta in Supernova 1987A at 10 000 days
J. Larsson, C. Fransson, J. Spyromilio +19
Due to its proximity, SN 1987A offers a unique opportunity to directly observe the geometry of a stellar explosion as it unfolds. Here we present spectral and imaging observations…
SOFIA/FORCAST Observations of Warm Dust in S106: A Fragmented Environment
J. D. Adams, T. L. Herter, J. L. Hora +22
We present mid-IR (19 - 37 microns) imaging observations of S106 from SOFIA/FORCAST, complemented with IR observations from Spitzer/IRAC (3.6 - 8.0 microns), IRTF/MIRLIN (11.3 and…
