The flash-ionised SN Ibn 2025kzr: H-free CSM formed during a precursor outburst 55 days prior to explosion

S. de Wet, G. Leloudas, D. A. H. Buckley +33

Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) are a class of interacting SNe characterised by narrow helium lines in their spectra. We present an extensive observational dataset of the Type Ibn SN 202…

The environmental dependence of mid-IR luminous dusty Supernovae

Lin Xiao, Zeyue Peng, Lluis Galbany +10

Using the Spitzer and WISE images, we discovered 42 mid-IR luminous dusty supernovae with local integral-field spectroscopy data. The observed mid-IR emission indicates the presenc…

AT2022zod: An Unusual Tidal Disruption Event in an Elliptical Galaxy at Redshift 0.11

Kristen C. Dage, Phelipe Darc, Thallis Pessi +16

Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) have long been hypothesized as valuable indicators of black holes, offering insight into their demographics and behaviour out to high redshift. TDEs…

The environmental dependence of Spitzer dusty Supernovae

Lin Xiao, Tamás Szalai, Lluís Galbany +9

Thanks to the mid-infrared capability offered by Spitzer, systematic searches of dust in SNe have been carried out over the past decade. Studies have revealed the presence of a sub…

Environmental dependence of Type IIn supernova properties

Takashi J. Moriya, Lluis Galbany, Cristina Jimenez-Palau +9

Type IIn supernovae occur when stellar explosions are surrounded by dense hydrogen-rich circumstellar matter. The dense circumstellar matter is likely formed by extreme mass loss f…
