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…

SN 2025aico: Early observations of a faint Type IIb supernova with a low-mass envelope

J. -W. Zhao, A. Pastorello, B. Kumar +45

We aimed to investigate the physical properties and the underlying explosion mechanisms of the Type IIb SN 2025aico. Through a comprehensive analysis of early-phase optical light c…

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…

The hydrogen-free circumstellar interaction in the Type Ib supernova 2021efd: A clue to the mechanism of the helium-layer stripping

N. Pyykkinen, T. Nagao, H. Kuncarayakti +27

Stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe), including Type IIb, Ib, and Ic supernovae (SNe), originate from the explosions of massive stars whose outer envelopes have been largely remove…

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…
