A Significant Dust Reservoir Uncovered with JWST in the Type Ic SN 1983V More Than 40 Years Post-Explosion

Sophia S. Kressy, Thomas Moore, Ori D. Fox +26

Searching for late-time emission from supernovae (SNe) is an active field. Infrared (IR) wavelengths are sensitive to thermal emission from dust, which can be used to probe SN cont…

Nebular Spectra of the Extremely Metal-Poor SN II 2023ufx Over a Year After Explosion: A Massive Progenitor and Unique Circumstellar Environment

Evan Jennerjahn, Michael A. Tucker, Christopher S. Kochanek +3

We present new observations of the metal-poor ( ) Type II supernova 2023ufx and its host galaxy. The deep nebular spectrum, obtained roughly a year after explos…

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…

JWST Observations of Calcium-Strong Transients: I. Complex Nebular He Emission in SN 2024uj

Saarah Hall, Lindsey A. Kwok, Aravind P. Ravi +29

We present the first JWST observations of a Calcium-Strong Transient (CaST), SN 2024uj, a rare class of supernovae (SNe) with observable properties that are consistent with both th…

Little Red Dots as Intermediate Mass, Super-Eddington Engines: Insights from Type IIn Supernovae and The 1837-1856 Great Eruption of Carinae

Rohan P. Naidu, Jorryt Matthee, Anna de Graaff +20

JWST's Little Red Dots (LRDs) display a unique constellation of features that do not occur simultaneously in any other class of galaxies or AGN. Here we observe that many of these…

SN2023ixf: ultraviolet-to-infrared radiative-transfer modeling of the nebular-phase evolution until 1000 days

Luc Dessart, Wynn V. Jacobson-Galan, K. Azalee Bostroem +6

We present non-local thermodynamic equilibrium radiative-transfer modeling of SN2023ixf during the nebular phase out to 1000d, using the same ejecta that matched its photospheric e…

SN2023ixf: Radiative-transfer modeling of the photospheric phase evolution from the ultraviolet to the infrared

Luc Dessart, Wynn V. Jacobson-Galan, K. Azalee Bostroem +4

SN2023ixf, a Type II supernova (SN) showing early signs of interaction with circumstellar material (CSM), has been observed with unprecedented detail across the electromagnetic spe…

Asymmetrical thermonuclear supernovae triggered by the tidal disruption of white dwarfs

Pavan Vynatheya, Luc Dessart, Taeho Ryu +1

In a dense star cluster core, a tidal disruption event (TDE) of a white dwarf (WD) can occur if the WD passes within the tidal radius of an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH). Ver…

A modeling perspective on the diversity of red-supergiant stars exploding within circumstellar material

Luc Dessart, W. V. Jacobson-Galan

With the ever faster cadence of untargeted surveys of the sky, the supernova (SN) community will capture in the coming years a growing number of shock breakouts in red-supergiant (…

Infrared diagnostics of late-time core-collapse supernova spectra

Luc Dessart

We present nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium radiative transfer calculations of red supergiant and He-star explosions, extending previous work to focus on the infrared emission fr…

Light curves and spectra for stellar collisions between main-sequence stars in galactic nuclei

Taeho Ryu, Luc Dessart

High-velocity stellar collisions in galactic nuclei produce ejecta that generate potentially observable electromagnetic radiation, making them promising nuclear transients. However…

Mass-transferring binary stars as progenitors of interacting hydrogen-free supernovae

Andrea Ercolino, Harim Jin, Norbert Langer +1

Stripped-envelope supernovae (SNe) are H-poor transients produced at the end of the life of massive stars that previously lost their H-rich envelope. Their progenitors are thought…

Probing red-supergiant atmospheres and winds with early-time high-cadence high-resolution type II supernova spectra

Luc Dessart

High-cadence high-resolution spectroscopic observations of infant Type II supernovae (SNe) represent an exquisite probe of the atmospheres and winds of exploding red-supergiant (RS…

Interacting supernovae

Luc Dessart

Modern photometric surveys of the sky suggest that many, perhaps most supernovae (SNe) associated with the explosion of massive stars are influenced at an appreciable level by thei…

The look of high-velocity red-giant star collisions

Luc Dessart, Taeho Ryu, Pau Amaro Seoane +1

High-velocity stellar collisions driven by a supermassive black hole (BH) or BH-driven disruptive collisions, in dense, nuclear clusters can rival the energetics of supergiant star…

The variable stellar wind of Rigel probed at high spatial and spectral resolution

O. Chesneau, A. Kaufer, O. Stahl +5

We present a spatially resolved, high-spectral resolution (R=12000) K-band temporal monitoring of Rigel using AMBER at the VLTI. Rigel was observed in the Bracket Gamma line and it…
