A 32-day Quasi-periodic Modulation in the Post-peak Light Curve of the Superluminous Supernova SN 2018bsz
Aiswarya Sankar. K, Ting-Wan Chen, Seán J. Brennan +8
Recurrent structure in supernova (SN) light curves may reveal physical clocks associated with central-engine dynamics, binary orbital motion, or interaction with structured circums…
A Significant Dust Reservoir Uncovered with JWST in the Type Ic SN 1983V More Than 40 Years Post-Explosion
Sophia S. Kressy, Thomas Moore, Ori D. Fox +26
Searching for late-time emission from supernovae (SNe) is an active field. Infrared (IR) wavelengths are sensitive to thermal emission from dust, which can be used to probe SN cont…
The Roman eXtreme Deep Field (RXDF)
Haojing Yan, Anton M. Koekemoer, Yue Shen +127
The Roman eXtreme Deep Field (RXDF) program is one of the five General Astrophysics Survey (GAS) programs approved for observing time with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope in…
JWST Detects a Dusty AGB-like Source Before the Type Ia-CSM Supernova 2026sqf
Tamás Szalai, Dan Milisavljevic, Noah Zimmer +22
Supernova (SN) 2026sqf recently appeared in the nearby face-on spiral galaxy NGC 3310 and has shown signs of strong interaction with a circumstellar medium (CSM). Such intense inte…
JWST Spectra Indicate a Large Mass of Postshock Dust Formed by SN 2010jl
Nathan Smith, Melissa Shahbandeh, Ori D. Fox +22
We present new JWST mid-IR spectra and ground-based optical spectra of the lingering source at the position of SN 2010jl, which was a relatively nearby superluminous Type IIn super…
Decadal pre-explosion activity and circumstellar interaction in a supernova
Ting-Wan Chen, Amar Aryan, Sheng Yang +52
When a massive star explodes as a supernova, crucial information about its immediate environment is lost within hours. Here we report rapid optical observations from Lulin Observat…
JWST Reveals Large Reservoirs of Dust and Ongoing Circumstellar Interaction in SN Ibn/Icn 2023xgo over a Year Post-Explosion
Kyle W. Davis, Kirsty Taggart, Samaporn Tinyanont +23
We present infrared (IR) photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2023xgo, a recent and nearby Type Ibn/Icn supernova (SN Ibn/Icn) which shows shock interaction with a He/C…
ATLAS100 -- I. A volume-limited sample of supernovae and related transients within 100 Mpc
Shubham Srivastav, Stephen J. Smartt, Thomas Moore +29
We present ATLAS100 -- a sample of 1729 supernovae and other explosive optical transients within Mpc observed by the ATLAS survey over a span of 5.75 years from 2017 Sep…
A spectroscopically confirmed, strongly lensed, metal-poor Type II supernova at z = 5.13
David A. Coulter, Conor Larison, Justin D. R. Pierel +88
Observing supernovae (SNe) in the early Universe (z > 3) provides a window into how both galaxies and individual stars have evolved over cosmic time, yet a detailed study of high-r…
Expanding the High-z Supernova Frontier: "Wide-Area" JWST Discoveries from the First Two Years of COSMOS-Web
Ori D. Fox, Armin Rest, Justin D. R. Pierel +48
Transient astronomy in the early Universe (z > 2) remains largely unexplored, lying beyond the rest-frame optical spectroscopic reach of most current observatories. Yet this regime…
