Luminous Type II Short-Plateau SN 2023ufx: Asymmetric Explosion of a Partially-Stripped Massive Progenitor
Aravind P. Ravi, Stefano Valenti, Yize Dong +34
We present supernova (SN) 2023ufx, a unique Type IIP SN with the shortest known plateau duration ( 47 days), a luminous V-band peak ( = 18.42 0…
Asymmetries and Circumstellar Interaction in the Type II SN 2024bch
Jennifer E. Andrews, Manisha Shrestha, K. Azalee Bostroem +29
We present a comprehensive multi-epoch photometric and spectroscopic study of SN 2024bch, a nearby (19.9 Mpc) Type II supernova (SN) with prominent early high ionization emission l…
Spectropolarimetry of SN 2023ixf reveals both circumstellar material and helium core to be aspherical
Manisha Shrestha, Sabrina DeSoto, David J. Sand +33
We present multi-epoch optical spectropolarimetric and imaging polarimetric observations of the nearby Type II supernova (SN) 2023ixf discovered in M101 at a distance of 6.85 Mpc.…
Circumstellar Interaction in the Ultraviolet Spectra of SN 2023ixf 14-66 Days After Explosion
K. Azalee Bostroem, David J. Sand, Luc Dessart +20
SN 2023ixf was discovered in M101 within a day of explosion and rapidly classified as a Type II supernova with flash features. Here we present ultraviolet (UV) spectra obtained wit…
