SN 2023gfo: A Peculiar Type IIP Supernova with High Luminosity and Normal Plateau Duration

Riko Namba, Masayuki Yamanaka, Keiichi Maeda +9

We present near-infrared (NIR) and optical observations of the highly reddened Type IIP supernova (SN) 2023gfo in the nearby galaxy NGC 4995 ( Mpc), which reached…

Two years of shock interaction tracing three phases of evolution: the explosion of a Type IIn supernova, SN 2019vxm

Gitika Rameshan, Rishabh Singh Teja, D. K. Sahu +10

We present multi-wavelength photometric and optical spectroscopic observations of the long-lived interacting supernova SN 2019vxm, spanning more than two years after the explosion.…

The flash-ionised SN Ibn 2025kzr: H-free CSM formed during a precursor outburst 55 days prior to explosion

S. de Wet, G. Leloudas, D. A. H. Buckley +33

Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) are a class of interacting SNe characterised by narrow helium lines in their spectra. We present an extensive observational dataset of the Type Ibn SN 202…

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…

Peculiar SN Ic 2022esa: An explosion of a massive Wolf-Rayet star in a binary as a precursor to a BH-BH binary?

Keiichi Maeda, Hanindyo Kuncarayakti, Takashi Nagao +4

A class of supernovae (SNe) termed `SN Ic-CSM' are characterized by late-time emergence of narrow emission lines of elements formed in the oxygen core of a massive star. A popular…

SN 2023xgo: Helium-rich Type Icn or Carbon-Flash Type Ibn supernova?

Anjasha Gangopadhyay, Jesper Sollerman, Konstantinos Tsalapatas +35

We present observations of SN~2023xgo, a transitional Type Ibn/Icn supernova, from to ~days relative to the -band peak. Early spectra show C~III emission rem…

SN 2023vbg: A Type IIn Supernova Resembling SN 2009ip, with a Long-Duration Precursor and Early-Time Bump

Sota Goto, Masayuki Yamanaka, Takahiro Nagayama +9

Type IIn supernovae (SNe) resembling SN 2009ip (09ip-like SNe) originate from the interaction between circumstellar material (CSM) and the ejecta. This subclass not only shares sim…

Spectropolarimetry of A Nuclear Transient AT2023clx: Revealing The Geometrical Alignment between The Transient Outflow and The Nuclear Dusty Region

Kohki Uno, Keiichi Maeda, Takashi Nagao +10

AT2023clx, which occurred in NGC3799 with a Low-Ionization Nuclear Emission-Line Region (LINER), is one of the most nearby nuclear transients classified as a tidal disruption event…

SN 2015bh: NGC 2770's 4th supernova or a luminous blue variable on its way to a Wolf-Rayet star?

C. C. Thöne, A. de Ugarte Postigo, G. Leloudas +13

Very massive stars in the final phases of their lives often show unpredictable outbursts that can mimic supernovae, so-called, "SN impostors", but the distinction is not always str…
