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…

Searching for Tidal Orbital Decay in Hot Jupiters

Efrain Alvarado, Kate B. Bostow, Kishore C. Patra +18

We study transits of several ``hot Jupiter'' systems - including WASP-12 b, WASP-43 b, WASP-103 b, HAT-P-23 b, KELT-16 b, WD 1856+534 b, and WTS-2 b - with the goal of detecting ti…

Spectral dataset of young type Ib supernovae and their time evolution

N. Yesmin, C. Pellegrino, M. Modjaz +11

Due to high-cadence automated surveys, we can now detect and classify supernovae (SNe) within a few days after explosion, if not earlier. Early-time spectra of young SNe directly p…

The X-ray Luminous Type Ibn SN 2022ablq: Estimates of Pre-explosion Mass Loss and Constraints on Precursor Emission

C. Pellegrino, M. Modjaz, Y. Takei +14

Type Ibn supernovae (SNe Ibn) are rare stellar explosions powered primarily by interaction between the SN ejecta and H-poor, He-rich material lost by their progenitor stars. Multi-…

A Snapshot Survey of Nearby Supernovae with the Hubble Space Telescope

Raphael Baer-Way, Asia DeGraw, Weikang Zheng +12

Over recent decades, robotic (or highly automated) searches for supernovae (SNe) have discovered several thousand events, many of them in quite nearby galaxies (distances < 30 Mpc)…
