A real-time search for Type Ia Supernovae with late-time CSM interaction in ZTF

Jacco H. Terwel, Kate Maguire, Seán J. Brennan +20

The nature of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitor systems and the mechanisms that lead up to their explosions are still widely debated. In rare cases the SN ejecta interact with c…

Twin peaks: SN 2021uvy and SN 2022hgk in the landscape of double-peaked stripped envelope supernovae

Yashvi Sharma, Jesper Sollerman, William Meynardie +25

In recent years, a class of stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) showing two distinct light-curve peaks has emerged, where the first peak cannot be attributed to shock cooling emis…
