The nearby He-rich superluminous supernova SN 2021bnw during photospheric phases
A. Fiore, A. Kozyreva, L. Yan +40
Aim. We present and interpret the data of the nearby hydrogen-deficient but helium-rich superluminous supernova SN 2021bnw which reached a magnitude of -20.7 at maximum luminosity…
The flash-ionised SN Ibn 2025kzr: H-free CSM formed during a precursor outburst 55 days prior to explosion
S. de Wet, G. Leloudas, D. A. H. Buckley +33
Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) are a class of interacting SNe characterised by narrow helium lines in their spectra. We present an extensive observational dataset of the Type Ibn SN 202…
The Large Array Survey Telescope-Pipeline. II. Image Subtraction and Transient Detection
R. Konno, E. O. Ofek, A. Krassilchtchikov +16
Context. The Large Array Survey Telescope (LAST) is a wide-field visual-band survey designed to explore the variable and transient sky with high cadence. Its raw data stream is aut…
The Type IIn SN 2025cbj coincidence with the high-energy neutrino IceCube-250421A
S. Garrappa, E. A. Zimmerman, T. Wasserman +14
Context. The origin of the astrophysical high-energy neutrino flux remains uncertain. Core-collapse supernovae with strong CSM interaction (Type IIn) are compelling candidates for…
Late-Time HST UV Detections Reveal Eruptive Mass Loss and Circumstellar Interaction in a Quarter of Stripped-Envelope Supernovae
C. Fremling, S. Covarrubias, J. Sollerman +19
We present HST WFC3/UVIS F275W near-UV imaging of 91stripped-envelope supernovae (SE SNe; Types IIb, Ib, Ic) from Snapshot program SNAP-16657, observed at phases of 270-1845 days (…
Eruptive mass loss less than a year before the explosion of superluminous supernovae. II. A systematic search for pre-explosion eruptions with VLT/X-shooter
A. Gkini, C. Fransson, R. Lunnan +22
We present X-shooter observations of a sample of 21 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I), spanning a redshift range of z=0.13-0.95, aimed at searching for shells of cir…
