JWST Nebular Spectroscopy of SN 2023qov: Circumstellar Dust Emission in a Normal Type Ia Supernova
Colin W. Macrie, Conor Larison, Huei Sears +42
We present panchromatic observations of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2023qov, ranging from 2 weeks before to 1 year after maximum light. \textit{JWST} near- and mid-in…
The supernova Ia progenitor problem in the 2040s
Thomas Kupfer, Simone Scaringi, Ingrid Pelisoli +8
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are fundamental to cosmology and galactic chemical evolution, yet the nature of their progenitor systems remains unresolved. Multiple evolutionary pathw…
HOLISMOKES XIX: SN 2025wny at , the first strongly lensed superluminous supernova
Stefan Taubenberger, Ana Acebron, Raoul Cañameras +45
We present imaging and spectroscopic observations of supernova SN 2025wny, associated with the lens candidate PS1 J0716+3821. Photometric monitoring from the Lulin and Maidanak obs…
The Heavy Element Enrichment History of the Universe from Neutron Star Mergers with Habitable Worlds Observatory
Eric Burns, Jennifer Andrews, Robert Szabo +23
Understanding where elements were formed has been a key goal in astrophysics for nearly a century, with answers involving cosmology, stellar burning, and cosmic explosions. Since 1…
Type Ia supernovae
Stéphane Blondin
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) correspond to the thermonuclear explosion of a carbon-oxygen white dwarf (C-O WD) star in a binary system, triggered by the accretion of material from a…
