SN 2021lwz: Another Exotic Luminous and Fast Evolving Optical Stripped Envelope Supernova ?
F. Poidevin, S. L. West, C. M. B. Omand +25
Current large-scale, high-cadence surveys, such as the ZTF, provide detections of new and rare types of transients and supernovae whose physical origins are not well understood. We…
Evidence for an intrinsic luminosity-decay correlation in GRB radio afterglows
S. P. R. Shilling, S. R. Oates, D. A. Kann +12
We present the discovery of a correlation, in a sample of 16 gamma-ray burst 8.5 GHz radio afterglows, between the intrinsic luminosity measured at 10 days in the rest frame, $L_{\…
Twin peaks: SN 2021uvy and SN 2022hgk in the landscape of double-peaked stripped envelope supernovae
Yashvi Sharma, Jesper Sollerman, William Meynardie +25
In recent years, a class of stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) showing two distinct light-curve peaks has emerged, where the first peak cannot be attributed to shock cooling emis…
AT2019cmw: A highly luminous, cooling featureless TDE candidate from the disruption of a high mass star in an early-type galaxy
Jacob L. Wise, Daniel A. Perley, Nikhil Sarin +23
We present optical/UV photometric and spectroscopic observations, as well as X-ray and radio follow-up, of the extraordinary event AT2019cmw. With a peak bolometric luminosity of ~…
LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA neutron star merger candidate S250206dm: Zwicky Transient Facility observations
Tomás Ahumada, Shreya Anand, Mattia Bulla +49
We present the searches conducted with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) in response to S250206dm, a bona fide event with a false alarm rate of one in 25 years, detected by the I…
Luminous, rapidly declining supernovae as stripped transitional objects in low metallicity environments: the case of SN 2022lxg
P. Charalampopoulos, R. Kotak, J. Sollerman +24
We present an analysis of the optical and near-infrared properties of SN 2022lxg, a bright ( mag) and rapidly evolving SN. It was discovered withi…
Low-Luminosity Type IIP Supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe. II: Lightcurve Analysis
Kaustav K. Das, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Jesper Sollerman +18
The Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe survey yielded a sample of 330 Type IIP supernovae (SNe) with well-constrained peak luminosities. In paper I (arXiv:2502.…
SN 2023xgo: Helium-rich Type Icn or Carbon-Flash Type Ibn supernova?
Anjasha Gangopadhyay, Jesper Sollerman, Konstantinos Tsalapatas +35
We present observations of SN~2023xgo, a transitional Type Ibn/Icn supernova, from to ~days relative to the -band peak. Early spectra show C~III emission rem…
Surrogate models for lightcurves and photosphere properties of Type II supernovae
Nikhil Sarin, Takashi J. Moriya, Avinash Singh +5
Inferences on the properties Type II supernovae (SNe) can provide significant insights into the lives and deaths of the astrophysical population of massive stars and potentially pr…
The ambiguous AT2022rze: Changing-look AGN mimicking a supernova in a merging galaxy system
P. J. Pessi, R. Lunnan, J. Sollerman +36
AT2022rze is a luminous, ambiguous transient located South-East of the geometric center of its host galaxy at redshift z = 0.08. The host appears to be formed by a merging galaxy s…
The case of AT2022wtn: a Tidal Disruption Event in an interacting galaxy

Philip D. Michel, Paolo A. Mazzali, Daniel A. Perley +2
SN 2023ixf is one of the brightest Core Collapse Supernovae of the 21st century and offers a rare opportunity to investigate the late stage of a Supernova through nebular phase spe…
Inferring CSM Properties of Type II SNe Using a Magnitude-Limited ZTF Sample
