Detection of persistent helium absorption in the 91bg-like type Ia Supernova 2022an
Ping Chen, Avishay Gal-Yam, Subo Dong +14
We present optical and near-infrared observations of the fast-declining Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2022an. The photometric and spectroscopic properties identify it as a standard 91b…
The transitional Type Ibn/IIn SN 2022pda, with pre-explosion outbursts and a double-peaked light curve
Y. -Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, R. Chiba +65
We report the results of a photometric and spectroscopic follow-up campaign of the unusual interacting supernova (SN) 2022pda. Precursor variability lasting days is obse…
Tidal disruption of a low-mass star in an active galactic nucleus as the origin of the PS16dtm outburst
Marzena Åniegowska, Bożena Czerny, Michal ZajaÄek +7
The event PS16dtm, which occured in the center of the Narrow Line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxy SDSS J015804.75-005221.8 (z = 0.080440), is one of the few candidates for a tidal disrupti…
The extremely low-luminosity Type Iax SNe 2022ywf and 2023zgx
Barnabás Barna, Dominik Bánhidi, Tamás Szalai +25
We present the optical follow-up of SNe 2022ywf and 2023zgx, two examples from the Iax subclass of thermonuclear supernova (SN) events. With peak absolute magnitudes of $M_\mathrm{…
Massive stars exploding in a He-rich circumstellar medium XII. SN 2024acyl: A fast, linearly declining Type Ibn supernova with early flash-ionisation features
Y. -Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, K. Maeda +63
We present a photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the Type Ibn supernova (SN) 2024acyl. It rises to an absolute magnitude peak of about -17.58 mag in 10.6 days, and displays a…
Light-Curve and Spectral Properties of Type II Supernovae from the ATLAS survey
K. Ertini, J. P. Anderson, G. Folatelli +22
Type II supernovae (SNe II) are the most common terminal stellar explosions in the Universe. With SNe now being detected within days after explosion, there is growing evidence that…
