SN 2024afyu interpreted as a Pair Instability Supernova
P. J. Pessi, S. Barmentloo, Ł. Wyrzykowski +63
Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are the predicted explosions of very massive stars triggered by electron-positron pair production. Numerous transients have been proposed as PIS…
Follow-up of SN 2025wny II: Superluminous Supernova Physics at Cosmic Noon
Maggie L. Li, Lin Yan, Anamaria Gkini +46
SN 2025wny is a gravitationally lensed, hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at z = 2.015. To date, it is the most extensively observed high-redshift core-collapse SN and…
NOMAI : A real-time photometric classifier for superluminous supernovae identification. A science module for the Fink broker
E. Russeil, R. Lunnan, J. Peloton +10
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are one of the most luminous stellar explosions known, yet they remain poorly understood. Because they are intrinsically rare, efficiently identify…
Witnessing the Earliest Phases of Galactic Wind Formation in Superluminous Supernova Hosts: Implications for Star-formation-driven Outflows in Low- and High-redshift Galaxies
A. Saldana-Lopez, A. Gkini, M. J. Hayes +6
Direct observational constraints on the earliest phases of galactic outflows remain scarce. We present Very Large Telescope/X-shooter spectroscopy of seven Type I superluminous sup…
Eruptive mass loss less than a year before the explosion of superluminous supernovae. II. A systematic search for pre-explosion eruptions with VLT/X-shooter
A. Gkini, C. Fransson, R. Lunnan +22
We present X-shooter observations of a sample of 21 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I), spanning a redshift range of z=0.13-0.95, aimed at searching for shells of cir…
SN 2021aaev: a Hydrogen-Rich Superluminous Supernova with Early Flash and Long-Lived Circumstellar Interaction in an Unusual Host Environment
Yang Hu, Ragnhild Lunnan, Priscila J. Pessi +25
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN\,2021aaev, a hydrogen-rich, superluminous supernova with persistent (at least days) narrow Balmer lines (SLSN-…
The ambiguous AT2022rze: Changing-look AGN mimicking a supernova in a merging galaxy system
P. J. Pessi, R. Lunnan, J. Sollerman +36
AT2022rze is a luminous, ambiguous transient located South-East of the geometric center of its host galaxy at redshift z = 0.08. The host appears to be formed by a merging galaxy s…
The Type I Superluminous Supernova Catalogue II: Spectroscopic Evolution in the Photospheric Phase, Velocity Measurements, and Constraints on Diversity
Aysha Aamer, Matt Nicholl, Sebastian Gomez +29
Hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are among the most energetic explosions in the universe, reaching luminosities up to 100 times greater than those of normal supernova…
Precursor Activity Preceding Interacting Supernovae I: Bridging the Gap with SN 2022mop
S. J. Brennan, S. Barmentloo, S. Schulze +41
Over the past two decades, an increasing number of transients have shown luminous activity at their explosion sites weeks to years before an interacting supernova (SN) is observed.…
Eruptive mass loss less than a year before the explosion of superluminous supernovae: I. The cases of SN 2020xga and SN 2022xgc
A. Gkini, C. Fransson, R. Lunnan +47
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2020xga and SN 2022xgc, two hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) at and , respectiv…
Sample of hydrogen-rich superluminous supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility
P. J. Pessi, R. Lunnan, J. Sollerman +26
Hydrogen-rich superluminous supernovae (SLSNe II) are rare. The exact mechanism producing their extreme light curve peaks is not understood. Analysis of single events and small sam…
AGNs in massive galaxy clusters: Role of galaxy merging, infalling groups, cluster mass, and dynamical state
E. Koulouridis, A. Gkini, E. Drigga
There is compelling evidence that active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in high-density regions have undergone a different evolution than their counterparts in the field, indicating that t…
Spectroscopic observations of progenitor activity 100 days before a Type Ibn supernova
S. J. Brennan, J. Sollerman, I. Irani +30
Obtaining spectroscopic observations of the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae is often unfeasible due to an inherent lack of knowledge as to which stars will go supernova and…
SN 2020zbf: A fast-rising hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova with strong carbon lines
A. Gkini, R. Lunnan, S. Schulze +24
SN\,2020zbf is a hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova (SLSN) at that shows conspicuous \ion{C}{II} features at early times, in contrast to the majority of H-poor SLSN…
1100 days in the life of the supernova 2018ibb -- The best pair-instability supernova candidate, to date
Steve Schulze, Claes Fransson, Alexandra Kozyreva +63
Abridged - Stars with ZAMS masses between 140 and are thought to explode as pair-instability supernovae (PISNe). During their thermonuclear runaway, PISNe can produce…
The X-CLASS survey: A catalogue of 1646 X-ray-selected galaxy clusters up to z1.5
E. Koulouridis, N. Clerc, T. Sadibekova +25
Cosmological probes based on galaxy clusters rely on cluster number counts and large-scale structure information. X-ray cluster surveys are well suited for this purpose, since they…
