JWST Medium-Resolution Infrared Spectroscopy of SN 2022acko: Tracing Molecule Formation in the Nebular Phase
K. Medler, T. Mera, C. Ashall +28
The Type II supernova (SN II) SN 2022acko was the first to be spectroscopically observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (). Here, we analyze SN 2022acko's second…
Carnegie Supernova Project: Fast-Declining Type Ia Supernovae as Cosmological Distance Indicators
M. M. Phillips, Syed A. Uddin, Christopher R. Burns +16
In this paper, the suitability of fast-declining Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as cosmological standard candles is examined utilizing a Hubble Flow sample of 43 of these objects obse…
JWST Observations of SN 2023ixf II: The Panchromatic Evolution Between 250 and 720 Days After the Explosion
K. Medler, C. Ashall, P. Hoeflich +60
We present the nebular phase spectroscopic and photometric observations of the nearby hydrogen-rich core-collapse supernova (CC-SN) 2023ixf, obtained through our JWST programs. The…
Three-dimensional Structure of Incomplete Carbon-Oxygen Detonations in Type Ia Supernovae
A. Khokhlov, I. Dominguez, A. Y. Chtchelkanova +6
Carbon-oxygen (CO) detonation with reactions terminating either after burning of C in the leading C + C reaction or after burning of C and O to S…
A Civilian Astronomer's Guide to UAP Research
Beatriz Villarroel, Kevin Krisciunas
Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) have historically been stigmatized and regarded as pseudoscience due to a general lack of robust evidence. Recently, however, the subject has…
Optical and near-infrared photometry of 94 type II supernovae from the Carnegie Supernova Project
J. P. Anderson, C. Contreras, M. D. Stritzinger +43
Type II supernovae (SNeII) mark the endpoint in the lives of hydrogen-rich massive stars. Their large explosion energies and luminosities allow us to measure distances, metalliciti…
