Radio and X-ray Observations of the Transitional Supernova 2019yvr: Insights into the Progenitor Mass-Loss History

Raphael Baer-way, Poonam Chandra, Maryam Modjaz +7

The final life stages of the massive star progenitors of stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) are still an open question, especially when it comes to the timing and magnitude of th…

The first radio view of a type Ibn supernova in SN 2023fyq: Understanding the mass-loss history in the last decade before the explosion

Raphael Baer-Way, A. J. Nayana, Wynn Jacobson-Galan +13

Supernovae that interact with hydrogen-poor, helium-rich circumstellar material (CSM), known as Type Ibn supernovae (SNe Ibn), present a unique opportunity to probe mass-loss proce…

Mid-Infrared Dust Evolution and Late-time Circumstellar Medium Interaction in SN 2017eaw

Jeniveve Pearson, Bhagya Subrayan, David J. Sand +24

We present JWST/MIRI and complementary ground-based near-infrared observations of the Type II SN 2017eaw taken 6 years post-explosion. SN 2017eaw is still detected out to 25 m…

SN 2022acko and the Properties of its Red Supergiant Progenitor: Direct Detection, Light Curves, and Nebular Spectroscopy

Gabriel Teixeira, Charlie D. Kilpatrick, Clécio R. Bom +12

We present ultraviolet, optical, and infrared observations of the Type II-P supernova SN 2022acko in NGC 1300, located at a distance of 19.0 +/- 2.9 Mpc. Our dataset spans 1-350 da…

The Most Luminous Known Fast Blue Optical Transient AT 2024wpp: Unprecedented Evolution and Properties in the Ultraviolet to the Near-Infrared

Natalie LeBaron, Raffaella Margutti, Ryan Chornock +45

We present an extensive photometric and spectroscopic ultraviolet-optical-infrared campaign on the luminous fast blue optical transient (LFBOT) AT 2024wpp over the first ~100 d. AT…

Optimizing Convolution Direction and Template Selection for Difference Image Analysis

Rodrigo Angulo, Armin Rest, William P. Blair +8

Difference image analysis (DIA) is a powerful tool for studying time-variable phenomena, and has been used by many time-domain surveys. Most DIA algorithms involve matching the spa…
