JWST Spectra Indicate a Large Mass of Postshock Dust Formed by SN 2010jl

Nathan Smith, Melissa Shahbandeh, Ori D. Fox +22

We present new JWST mid-IR spectra and ground-based optical spectra of the lingering source at the position of SN 2010jl, which was a relatively nearby superluminous Type IIn super…

A spectroscopically confirmed, strongly lensed, metal-poor Type II supernova at z = 5.13

David A. Coulter, Conor Larison, Justin D. R. Pierel +88

Observing supernovae (SNe) in the early Universe (z > 3) provides a window into how both galaxies and individual stars have evolved over cosmic time, yet a detailed study of high-r…

Expanding the High-z Supernova Frontier: "Wide-Area" JWST Discoveries from the First Two Years of COSMOS-Web

Ori D. Fox, Armin Rest, Justin D. R. Pierel +48

Transient astronomy in the early Universe (z > 2) remains largely unexplored, lying beyond the rest-frame optical spectroscopic reach of most current observatories. Yet this regime…

The First Photometric Evidence of a Transient/Variable Source at z>5 with JWST

Christa DeCoursey, Eiichi Egami, Fengwu Sun +27

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovered 79 transients out to 4.8 through the JADES Transient Survey (JTS), but the JTS did not find any 5 transients. Here,…

Discovery of a likely Type II SN at =3.6 with JWST

D. A. Coulter, J. D. R. Pierel, C. DeCoursey +30

Transient astronomy in the early, high-redshift (z > 3) Universe is an unexplored regime that offers the possibility of probing the first stars and the Epoch of Reionization. Durin…

Properties of high-redshift Type II supernovae discovered by the JADES transient survey

Takashi J. Moriya, David A. Coulter, Christa DeCoursey +23

In this work we estimate the explosion and progenitor properties of six Type II supernovae (SNe) at 0.675 <= z <= 3.61 discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Advanced…

JWST/MIRI Observations of Newly Formed Dust in the Cold, Dense Shell of the Type IIn SN 2005ip

Melissa Shahbandeh, Ori D. Fox, Tea Temim +42

Dust from core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe), specifically Type IIP SNe, has been suggested to be a significant source of the dust observed in high-redshift galaxies. CCSNe eject lar…

Discovery of a Relativistic Stripped Envelope Type Ic-BL Supernova at z = 2.83 with JWST

M. R. Siebert, C. Decoursey, D. A. Coulter +26

We present JWST NIRCam and NIRSpec observations of a Type Ic supernova (SN Ic) and its host galaxy (JADES-GS+53.13533-27.81457) at . This SN (named SN 2023adta) was ident…

The JADES Transient Survey: Discovery and Classification of Supernovae in the JADES Deep Field

Christa DeCoursey, Eiichi Egami, Justin D. R. Pierel +35

The JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) is a multi-cycle JWST program that has taken among the deepest near-/mid-infrared images to date (down to 30 ABmag) over $…

Serendipitous detection of the dusty Type IIL SN 1980K with JWST/MIRI

Szanna Zsíros, Tamás Szalai, Ilse De Looze +39

We present mid-infrared (mid-IR) imaging of the Type IIL supernova (SN) 1980K with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) more than 40 yr post-explosion. SN 1980K, located in the ne…

JWST Discovery of Dust Reservoirs in Nearby Type IIP Supernovae 2004et and 2017eaw

Melissa Shahbandeh, Arkaprabha Sarangi, Tea Temim +36

Supernova (SN) explosions have been sought for decades as a possible source of dust in the Universe, providing the seeds of galaxies, stars, and planetary systems. SN 1987A offers…
