SN 2019vxm: A luminous and long-lived Type IIn supernova with early flash-ionisation features
Y. -Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, T. J. Moriya +38
We present the photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the luminous and long-lasting Type IIn supernova (SN) 2019vxm. The SN reaches a peak V-band absolute magnitude of MV = -20.…
SN 2023zcu: A Type IIP SN with Early Flash Features
Monalisa Dubey, Kuntal Misra, Géza Csörnyei +51
We present a detailed photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the Type IIP supernova SN~2023zcu, which exploded in the galaxy NGC~2139 (redshift = 0.006). SN~2023zcu exhibits…
SN 2021ukt: A Transitional Supernova with a Short Plateau and Persistent Interaction
Neil R. Pichay, Sergiy S. Vasylyev, Audrey M. Liddle +21
We present spectroscopic and photometric observations of supernova (SN) 2021ukt, a peculiar short-plateau object that was originally identified as a Type IIn SN and later underwent…
Transit Timing of the White Dwarf-cold Jupiter System WD 1856+534
Eli A. Gendreau-Distler, Kate B. Bostow, Kishore C. Patra +17
We present new transit-timing measurements for the white dwarf-cold Jupiter system WD 1856+534, extending the baseline of observations from 311 epochs to 1498 epochs. The planet is…
SN 2023ixf in the Pinwheel Galaxy M101: From Shock Breakout to the Nebular Phase
Weikang Zheng, Luc Dessart, Alexei V. Filippenko +39
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2023ixf covering from day one to 442 days after explosion. SN 2023ixf reached a peak -band absolute magnitude of $-18…
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…
