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…

The Search for Stable Nickel: Investigating the Origins of Type Ia Supernovae with Late-time NIR Spectroscopy from the Carnegie Supernova Project-II

Sahana Kumar, Eric Y. Hsiao, Christopher Ashall +20

Producing stable Ni in Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) requires sufficiently high density conditions that are not predicted for all origin scenarios, so examining the distributi…

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…

Analyzing type Ia supernovae near-infrared light curves with Principal Component Analysis

T. E. Müller-Bravo, L. Galbany, M. D. Stritzinger +8

Type Ia supernovae (SNeIa), the thermonuclear explosions of C/O white dwarf stars in binary systems, are phenomena that remain poorly understood. The complexity of their progenitor…

JWST Observations of SN 2023ixf I: Completing the Early Multi-Wavelength Picture with Plateau-phase Spectroscopy

J. M. DerKacy, C. Ashall, E. Baron +46

We present and analyze panchromatic (0.35--14 m) spectroscopy of the Type II supernova 2023ixf, including near- and mid-infrared spectra obtained 33.6 days after explosion duri…

JWST Observations of SN 2024ggi I: Interpretation and Model Comparison of the Type II Supernova 2024ggi at 55 days Past Explosion

E. Baron, C. Ashall, J. M. DerKacy +40

We present panchromatic 0.4-21 microns observations of the nearby (about 7.2 Mpc) Type II supernova 2024ggi, obtained during the plateau phase at about 55 d past explosion. Our dat…
