A cosmic formation site of silicon and sulphur revealed by a new type of supernova explosion
Steve Schulze, Avishay Gal-Yam, Luc Dessart +47
The cores of stars are the cosmic furnaces where light elements are fused into heavier nuclei. The fusion of hydrogen to helium initially powers all stars. The ashes of the fusion…
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…
Searching for gravitational wave optical counterparts with the Zwicky Transient Facility: summary of O4a
Tomás Ahumada, Shreya Anand, Michael W. Coughlin +49
During the first half of the fourth observing run (O4a) of the International Gravitational Wave Network (IGWN), the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) conducted a systematic search fo…
SN 2023zaw: an ultra-stripped, nickel-poor supernova from a low-mass progenitor
Kaustav K. Das, Christoffer Fremling, Mansi M. Kasliwal +34
We present SN 2023zaw a sub-luminous ( mag) and rapidly-evolving supernova ( days), with the lowest nickel mass (…
Dramatic rebrightening of the type-changing stripped-envelope supernova SN 2023aew
Yashvi Sharma, Jesper Sollerman, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni +32
Multi-peaked supernovae with precursors, dramatic light-curve rebrightenings, and spectral transformation are rare, but are being discovered in increasing numbers by modern night-s…
Spectroscopic observations of progenitor activity 100 days before a Type Ibn supernova
S. J. Brennan, J. Sollerman, I. Irani +30
Obtaining spectroscopic observations of the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae is often unfeasible due to an inherent lack of knowledge as to which stars will go supernova and…
