A Note on Compactness and Clique Size
David V. Feldman, Alexander Wilce
Say that a topological space has finite, respectively bounded, cliques iff every closed, irreflexive binary relation --- equivalently, every closed, loop-free directed graph --…
JWST Spectroscopy of Type Ia Supernova 2025rbs from Maximum Light to the Nebular Phase
Lindsey A. Kwok, Stéphane Blondin, Adam A. Miller +53
We present JWST observations of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2025rbs (14.5 Mpc) at +1, +23, and +84 days after B-band maximum, spanning peak light through a wavelength-depende…
JWST Spectra Indicate a Large Mass of Postshock Dust Formed by SN 2010jl
Nathan Smith, Melissa Shahbandeh, Ori D. Fox +22
The paper reports JWST mid‑infrared spectra of the Type IIn supernova SN 2010jl 13 years after explosion, revealing a large (~0.2 M☉) mass of warm dust formed in the post‑shock reg…
Ultraviolet to Infrared Spectroscopy of the Type Ibn SN 2023tsz Suggests a Lower-mass Progenitor
Sergiy S. Vasylyev, Griffin Hosseinzadeh, Luc Dessart +42
Type Ibn supernovae are stripped-envelope explosions whose spectra indicate interaction with dense, helium-rich and hydrogen-poor circumstellar material (CSM), making them importan…
The Progenitor of the Type II-Plateau SN 2025pht in NGC 1637: The Dustiest, Most Luminous Red Supergiant So Far?
Schuyler D. Van Dyk, Tamas Szalai, Gagandeep S. Anand +14
We provide a characterization of the red supergiant (RSG) progenitor candidate for the nearby Type II-plateau supernova (SN) 2025pht in NGC 1637. The star was first detectable in 2…
JWST Reveals Large Reservoirs of Dust and Ongoing Circumstellar Interaction in SN Ibn/Icn 2023xgo over a Year Post-Explosion
Kyle W. Davis, Kirsty Taggart, Samaporn Tinyanont +23
We present infrared (IR) photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2023xgo, a recent and nearby Type Ibn/Icn supernova (SN Ibn/Icn) which shows shock interaction with a He/C…
