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…
SN2025aico: An Interesting Case Of Ni Mixing, Ejecta Asymmetries, and Dust Formation in a Type IIb Supernova
Grace Davis, Kyle Medler, Chris Ashall +8
Stripped-envelope supernovae provide a window into how massive stars lose their layers, mix radioactive material, produce dust, and explode asymmetrically. We present optical, near…
Can Little Red Dots Contribute To The Early Universe Cosmic Dust Budget?
Chris Ashall, Rohan P. Naidu, Alberto Torralba +11
The origin of dust in the early Universe remains uncertain. We explore whether Little Red Dots (LRDs) could provide a high-redshift dust-production channel. Motivated by an analogy…
Little Red Dots as Shock-Powered High-Energy Neutrino Sources
Tyco Mera, Chris Ashall, Shunsaku Horiuchi +3
Little Red Dots (LRDs) are compact, high-redshift sources whose physical nature remains uncertain. Their optical spectra bear many similarities to Type IIn supernovae (SNe IIn), mo…
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…
JWST Medium-Resolution Infrared Spectroscopy of SN 2022acko: Tracing Molecule Formation in the Nebular Phase
K. Medler, T. Mera, C. Ashall +28
The Type II supernova (SN II) SN 2022acko was the first to be spectroscopically observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (). Here, we analyze SN 2022acko's second…
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…
