ZTF25abjmnps (AT2025ulz) and S250818k: A Candidate Superkilonova from a Sub-threshold Sub-Solar Gravitational Wave Trigger
Mansi M. Kasliwal, Tomas Ahumada, Robert Stein +61
On August 18, 2025, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration reported gravitational waves from a sub-threshold binary neutron star merger. If astrophysical, this event would have a surpr…
Discovery of SN 2025wny: a Strongly Gravitationally Lensed Superluminous Supernova at z = 2.01
Joel Johansson, Daniel A. Perley, Ariel Goobar +31
We present the discovery of SN 2025wny (ZTF25abnjznp/GOTO25gtq) and spectroscopic classification of this event as the first gravitationally lensed Type I superluminous supernovae (…
SN 2021aaev: a Hydrogen-Rich Superluminous Supernova with Early Flash and Long-Lived Circumstellar Interaction in an Unusual Host Environment
Yang Hu, Ragnhild Lunnan, Priscila J. Pessi +25
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN\,2021aaev, a hydrogen-rich, superluminous supernova with persistent (at least days) narrow Balmer lines (SLSN-…
LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA neutron star merger candidate S250206dm: Zwicky Transient Facility observations
Tomás Ahumada, Shreya Anand, Mattia Bulla +49
We present the searches conducted with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) in response to S250206dm, a bona fide event with a false alarm rate of one in 25 years, detected by the I…
Low-Luminosity Type IIP Supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe. II: Lightcurve Analysis
Kaustav K. Das, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Jesper Sollerman +18
The Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe survey yielded a sample of 330 Type IIP supernovae (SNe) with well-constrained peak luminosities. In paper I (arXiv:2502.…
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…
Surrogate models for lightcurves and photosphere properties of Type II supernovae
Nikhil Sarin, Takashi J. Moriya, Avinash Singh +5
Inferences on the properties Type II supernovae (SNe) can provide significant insights into the lives and deaths of the astrophysical population of massive stars and potentially pr…
The Type I Superluminous Supernova Catalogue II: Spectroscopic Evolution in the Photospheric Phase, Velocity Measurements, and Constraints on Diversity
Aysha Aamer, Matt Nicholl, Sebastian Gomez +29
Hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are among the most energetic explosions in the universe, reaching luminosities up to 100 times greater than those of normal supernova…
The La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey
Adam A. Miller, Natasha S. Abrams, Greg Aldering +75
We present the La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey (LS4), a new wide-field, time-domain survey to be conducted with the 1 m ESO Schmidt telescope. The 268 megapixel LS4 camera mosaics…
Inferring CSM Properties of Type II SNe Using a Magnitude-Limited ZTF Sample
K-Ryan Hinds, Daniel Perley, Jesper Sollerman +20
Although all Type II supernovae (SNe) originate from massive stars possessing a hydrogen-rich envelope, their light curve morphology is diverse, reflecting poorly characterised het…
Low-Luminosity Type IIP Supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe. I: Luminosity Function, Volumetric Rate
Kaustav K. Das, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Christoffer Fremling +51
We present the luminosity function and volumetric rate of a sample of Type IIP supernovae (SNe) from the Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe survey (CLU). This i…
The BTSbot-nearby discovery of SN 2024jlf: rapid, autonomous follow-up probes interaction in an 18.5 Mpc Type IIP supernova
Nabeel Rehemtulla, W. V. Jacobson-Galán, Avinash Singh +27
We present observations of the Type IIP supernova (SN) 2024jlf, including spectroscopy beginning just 0.7 days (17 hours) after first light. Rapid follow-up was enabled by th…
