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…
Failed jet breakout in the metal-poor broad-lined type Ic supernova 2026gzf
Antonio Martin-Carrillo, Christina C. Thöne, James K. Leung +103
A long-standing question in the death of massive stars is the role of relativistic jets. While many gamma-ray bursts and some fast X-ray transients seem to be associated with broad…
A binary merger product as the direct progenitor of a Type II-P supernova
Zexi Niu, Ning-Chen Sun, Emmanouil Zapartas +16
Type II-P supernovae (SNe II-P) are the most common class of core-collapse SNe in the local Universe and play critical roles in many aspects of astrophysics. Since decades ago theo…
Direct Detection of Type II-P Supernova Progenitors with the and CSST Surveys
Junjie Wu, Ning-Chen Sun, Zexi Niu +14
Identifying and characterizing supernova (SN) progenitor stars remains a central yet difficult goal in SN research, limited by archival images lacking sufficient depth or spatial r…
