SN 2024afyu interpreted as a Pair Instability Supernova

P. J. Pessi, S. Barmentloo, Ł. Wyrzykowski +63

Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are the predicted explosions of very massive stars triggered by electron-positron pair production. Numerous transients have been proposed as PIS…

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…

Precursor Activity Preceding Interacting Supernovae I: Bridging the Gap with SN 2022mop

S. J. Brennan, S. Barmentloo, S. Schulze +41

Over the past two decades, an increasing number of transients have shown luminous activity at their explosion sites weeks to years before an interacting supernova (SN) is observed.…

SN 2023tsz: A helium-interaction driven supernova in a very low-mass galaxy

B. Warwick, J. Lyman, M. Pursiainen +49

SN 2023tsz is a Type Ibn supernova (SNe Ibn) discovered in an extremely low-mass host. SNe Ibn are an uncommon subtype of stripped-envelope core-collapse SNe. They are characterise…

Eruptive mass loss less than a year before the explosion of superluminous supernovae: I. The cases of SN 2020xga and SN 2022xgc

A. Gkini, C. Fransson, R. Lunnan +47

We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2020xga and SN 2022xgc, two hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) at and , respectiv…

Sample of hydrogen-rich superluminous supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility

P. J. Pessi, R. Lunnan, J. Sollerman +26

Hydrogen-rich superluminous supernovae (SLSNe II) are rare. The exact mechanism producing their extreme light curve peaks is not understood. Analysis of single events and small sam…
