A statistical study of the metallicity of core-collapse supernovae based on VLT/MUSE integral-field-unit spectroscopy
Qiang Xi, Ning-Chen Sun, Yi-Han Zhao +4
Metallicity plays a crucial role in the evolution of massive stars and their final core-collapse supernova (CCSN) explosions. Integral-field-unit (IFU) spectroscopy can provide a s…
Diversity of dust properties in external galaxies confirmed by polarization signals from Type II supernovae
Takashi Nagao, Ferdinando Patat, Keiichi Maeda +8
Investigating interstellar (IS) dust properties in external galaxies is important not only to infer the intrinsic properties of astronomical objects but also to understand the star…
An environmental analysis of the fast transient AT2018cow and implications for its progenitor and late-time brightness
Ning-Chen Sun, Justyn R. Maund, Yali Shao +1
The nature of the newly discovered fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) is still puzzling astronomers. In this paper we carry out a comprehensive analysis of the molecular gas, ion…
An imaging polarimetry survey of Type Ia supernovae: are peculiar extinction and polarization properties produced by circumstellar or interstellar matter?
Matthew R. Chu, Aleksandar Cikota, Dietrich Baade +8
Some highly reddened Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) display low total-to-selective extinction ratios () in comparison to that of typical Milky Way dust ($R_V \approx 3…
Properties of extragalactic dust inferred from linear polarimetry of Type Ia Supernovae
F. Patat, S. Taubenberger, N. L. J. Cox +9
Aims: The aim of this paper is twofold: 1) to investigate the properties of extragalactic dust and compare them to what is seen in the Galaxy; 2) to address in an independent way t…
SN 2005cs in M51 II. Complete Evolution in the Optical and the Near-Infrared
A. Pastorello, S. Valenti, L. Zampieri +31
We present the results of the one year long observational campaign of the type II-plateau SN 2005cs, which exploded in the nearby spiral galaxy M51 (the Whirlpool Galaxy). This ext…
