The 91T/99aa-like Type Ia Supernova 2019vrq, Part II: 3D, Non-LTE, Low-Amplitude, Pulsating Delayed-Detonation Models of a Promising Standard Candle

Peter Hoeflich, Yi Yang, J. Craig Wheeler +11

We analyze the overluminous, 91T/99aa-like Type~Ia SN 2019vrq, based on light curves(LCs) and spectropolarimetric time-series. We employ 3D-radiation-hydrodynamical, full non-LTE s…

Panchromatic JWST Observations and Models of the Dim Type Iax Supernova 2024vjm at 200 days

E Baron, J. M. DerKacy, C. Ashall +23

We report JWST spectra and photometry of the underluminous SN Iax 2024vjm obtained 202.8 restframe days post-explosion. The spectrum exhibits a rich set of forbidden lines from low…

The Production of Electron-Capture Elements in Thermonuclear Supernovae: Theory vs. Observations

S. Shiber, P. Hoeflich, T. Mera +9

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) explosively destroy carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (WDs) in multiple stellar systems. They produce approximately 50% of the iron-group elements in the Unive…

Filling The Pockets: The Spherical Nature of 3D Deflagration in Thermonuclear Supernovae

S. Shiber, P. Hoeflich, T. Mera +9

We investigate thermonuclear explosions within the delayed detonation framework. While spherical delayed detonation models generally reproduce key observational features, a fundame…

JWST Observations of SN 2024ggi II: NIRSpec Spectroscopy and CO Modeling at 285 and 385 Days Past the Explosion

T. Mera, C. Ashall, P. Hoeflich +20

We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRSpec observations of SN~2024ggi, spanning wavelengths of 1.7--5.5 micron at +285.51 and +385.27 days post-explosion. These nebular s…

JWST Observations of SN 2023ixf II: The Panchromatic Evolution Between 250 and 720 Days After the Explosion

K. Medler, C. Ashall, P. Hoeflich +60

We present the nebular phase spectroscopic and photometric observations of the nearby hydrogen-rich core-collapse supernova (CC-SN) 2023ixf, obtained through our JWST programs. The…

JWST Observations of SN 2024ggi I: Interpretation and Model Comparison of the Type II Supernova 2024ggi at 55 days Past Explosion

E. Baron, C. Ashall, J. M. DerKacy +40

We present panchromatic 0.4-21 microns observations of the nearby (about 7.2 Mpc) Type II supernova 2024ggi, obtained during the plateau phase at about 55 d past explosion. Our dat…

Numerical and Physical Challenges to Nebular Spectroscopy in Thermonuclear Supernovae

P. Hoeflich, E. Fereidouni, A. Fisher +8

Thermodynamical explosions of White Dwarfs (WD)are one of the keys to high precision cosmology. Nebular spectra, namely mid-infrared (MIR) with JWST are an effective tool to probe…

A JWST Medium Resolution MIRI Spectrum and Models of the Type Ia supernova 2021aefx at +415 d

C. Ashall, P. Hoeflich, E. Baron +39

We present a JWST MIRI/MRS spectrum (5-27 m) of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia), SN 2021aefx at days past -band maximum. The spectrum, which was obtained during t…
