Unprecedented early flux excess in the hybrid 02es-like type Ia supernova 2022ywc indicates interaction with circumstellar material

Shubham Srivastav, T. Moore, M. Nicholl +20

We present optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the 02es-like type Ia supernova (SN) 2022ywc. The transient occurred in the outskirts of an elliptical host galaxy…

SN 2022jli: a type Ic supernova with periodic modulation of its light curve and an unusually long rise

Moore T., Smartt S. J., Nicholl M. +42

We present multi-wavelength photometry and spectroscopy of SN 2022jli, an unprecedented Type Ic supernova discovered in the galaxy NGC 157 at a distance of 23 Mpc. The mu…

Helium as a signature of the double detonation in Type Ia supernovae

Christine E. Collins, Stuart A. Sim, Luke. J. Shingles +5

The double detonation is a widely discussed mechanism to explain Type Ia supernovae from explosions of sub-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarfs. In this scenario, a helium detonation is…

Self-consistent 3D radiative transfer for kilonovae: directional spectra from merger simulations

Luke J. Shingles, Christine E. Collins, Vimal Vijayan +7

We present three-dimensional radiative transfer calculations for the ejecta from a neutron star merger that include line-by-line opacities for tens of millions of bound-bound trans…

Modelling the spectra of the kilonova AT2017gfo -- II: Beyond the photospheric epochs

J. H. Gillanders, S. A. Sim, S. J. Smartt +2

Binary neutron star mergers are the first confirmed site of element nucleosynthesis by the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process). The kilonova AT2017gfo is the only electromagn…

Synthetic Light Curves and Spectra from a Self-Consistent 2D Simulation of an Ultra-strippped Supernova

Thomas Maunder, Bernhard Müller, Fionntan Callan +2

Spectroscopy is an important tool for providing insights into the structure of core-collapse supernova explosions. We use the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code ARTIS to compute s…
