Hydrogen-Poor Superluminous Supernovae in the Nebular Phase: Spectral Diversity Due to Ejecta Ionization as a Probe of the Power Source
Peter K. Blanchard, Edo Berger, Sebastian Gomez +6
We present a large sample of 39 nebular-phase optical spectra of 25 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) and jointly analyze them with previously published spectra of 1…
Dichotomy in Long-Lived Radio Emission from Tidal Disruption Events AT 2020zso and AT 2021sdu: Multi-Component Outflows vs. Host Contamination
Collin T. Christy, Kate D. Alexander, Tanmoy Laskar +16
We present a detailed radio study of the tidal disruption events (TDEs) AT 2020zso and AT 2021sdu. Both exhibit transient radio emission beginning shortly after optical discovery a…
The first radio view of a type Ibn supernova in SN 2023fyq: Understanding the mass-loss history in the last decade before the explosion
Raphael Baer-Way, A. J. Nayana, Wynn Jacobson-Galan +13
Supernovae that interact with hydrogen-poor, helium-rich circumstellar material (CSM), known as Type Ibn supernovae (SNe Ibn), present a unique opportunity to probe mass-loss proce…
The Most Luminous Known Fast Blue Optical Transient AT 2024wpp: Unprecedented Evolution and Properties in the X-rays and Radio
A. J. Nayana, Raffaella Margutti, Eli Wiston +34
We present X-ray (0.3--79 keV) and radio (0.25--203 GHz) observations of the most luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient (LFBOT) AT\,2024wpp at , spanning 2--280 days after…
The Most Luminous Known Fast Blue Optical Transient AT 2024wpp: Unprecedented Evolution and Properties in the Ultraviolet to the Near-Infrared
Natalie LeBaron, Raffaella Margutti, Ryan Chornock +45
We present an extensive photometric and spectroscopic ultraviolet-optical-infrared campaign on the luminous fast blue optical transient (LFBOT) AT 2024wpp over the first ~100 d. AT…
Non-Thermal Ionization of Kilonova Ejecta: Observable Impacts
Daniel Brethauer, Daniel Kasen, Raffaella Margutti +1
The characteristic rapid rise and decline at optical wavelengths of a kilonova is the product of the low ejecta mass () and high ejecta velocity ($\gtrsim 0.…
