AT 2022csn: A Photometrically Peculiar Optical/UV Tidal Disruption Event in a Type II AGN
Yael Dgany, Iair Arcavi, Grisha Zeltyn +18
The emission mechanism and host galaxy preference of optical/UV tidal disruption events (TDEs) are still not entirely understood. We present observations of the TDE AT 2022csn, whi…
The pair-instability origin of supernova 2023vbw
Daichi Hiramatsu, Edo Berger, Daichi Tsuna +18
Stars in the initial and carbon-oxygen core mass ranges of and M, respectively, with low metallicity are predicted to experience copious electron-pos…
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…
Optimizing Kilonova Searches: A Case Study of the Type IIb SN 2025ulz in the Localization Volume of the Low-Significance Gravitational Wave Event S250818k
Noah Franz, Bhagya Subrayan, Charles D. Kilpatrick +54
Kilonovae, the ultraviolet/optical/infrared counterparts to binary neutron star mergers, are an exceptionally rare class of transients. Optical follow-up campaigns are plagued by c…
When IIb Ceases To Be: Bridging the Gap Between IIb and Short-plateau Supernovae
Joseph R. Farah, D. Andrew Howell, Daichi Hiramatsu +13
Hydrogen-rich supernovae (SNe) span a range of hydrogen envelope masses at core collapse, producing diverse light curves from extended plateaus in Type II SNe to double-peaked Type…
Lense-Thirring precessing magnetar engine drives a superluminous supernova
Joseph R. Farah, Logan J. Prust, D. Andrew Howell +10
Type I superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) are at least an order of magnitude brighter than standard supernovae, with the internal power source for their luminosity still unknown. T…
