Spectral Diversity in Type Ibn Supernovae and the Large Host Offset of SN2024acyl
Yize Dong, V. Ashley Villar, Anya Nugent +35
In this paper, we first present observations of SN~2024acyl, a normal Type Ibn supernova with a large projected offset (35~kpc) from its host galaxy. The low star-formation r…
AT 2020nov: Evidence for Disk Reprocessing in a Rare Tidal Disruption Event
Nicholas Earl, K. Decker French, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +23
We present a detailed analysis of AT 2020nov, a tidal disruption event (TDE) in the center of its host galaxy, located at a redshift of . AT 2020nov exhibits unique feat…
Connection between Non-Axisymmetric Structures and Neutral Gas Distribution in Disk Galaxies
Ze-Zhong Liang, Jing Wang, Hua Gao +2
Non-axisymmetric structures, such as bars and spiral arms, are known to concentrate molecular gas and star formation in galaxy centers, actively building up the pseudo-bulges. Howe…
On the kinematic nature of apparent discs at high redshifts: Local counterparts are not dominated by ordered rotation but by tangentially anisotropic random motion
Bitao Wang, Yingjie Peng, Michele Cappellari +2
It is not straightforward to physically interpret the apparent morphology of galaxies. Recent observations by James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) revealed a dominant galaxy populatio…
Discovery and Extensive Follow-Up of SN 2024ggi, a nearby type IIP supernova in NGC 3621
Ting-Wan Chen, Sheng Yang, Shubham Srivastav +45
We present the discovery and early observations of the nearby Type II supernova (SN) 2024ggi in NGC 3621 at 6.64 +/- 0.3 Mpc. The SN was caught 5.8 (+1.9 -2.9) hours after its expl…
The Extremely Metal-Poor SN 2023ufx: A Local Analog to High-Redshift Type II Supernovae
Michael A. Tucker, Jason Hinkle, Charlotte R. Angus +26
We present extensive observations of the Type II supernova (SN II) 2023ufx which is likely the most metal-poor SN II observed to-date. It exploded in the outskirts of a low-metalli…
SN2023ixf in Messier 101: the twilight years of the progenitor as seen by Pan-STARRS
Conor L. Ransome, V. Ashley Villar, Anna Tartaglia +28
The nearby type II supernova, SN2023ixf in M101 exhibits signatures of early-time interaction with circumstellar material in the first week post-explosion. This material may be the…
Minutes-duration Optical Flares with Supernova Luminosities
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Perley, Ping Chen +74
In recent years, certain luminous extragalactic optical transients have been observed to last only a few days. Their short observed duration implies a different powering mechanism…
SN 2022oqm: A Bright and Multi-peaked Calcium-rich Transient
S. Karthik Yadavalli, V. Ashley Villar, Luca Izzo +60
We present the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of SN 2022oqm, a nearby multi-peaked hydrogen- and helium-weak calcium-rich transient (CaRT). SN 2022oqm was detected 13.1 kp…
Multiwavelength Bulge-Disk Decomposition for the Galaxy M81 (NGC 3031). I. Morphology
Jun-Yu Gong, Ye-Wei Mao, Hua Gao +1
A panchromatic investigation of morphology for the early-type spiral galaxy M81 is presented in this paper. We perform bulge-disk decomposition in M81 images at a total of 20 waveb…
A Precursor Plateau and Pre-Maximum [O II] Emission in the Superluminous SN2019szu: A Pulsational Pair-Instability Candidate
Aysha Aamer, Matt Nicholl, Anders Jerkstrand +29
We present a detailed study on SN2019szu, a Type I superluminous supernova at , that displayed unique photometric and spectroscopic properties. Pan-STARRS and ZTF forced p…
SN2023ixf in Messier 101: A Variable Red Supergiant as the Progenitor Candidate to a Type II Supernova
Charles D. Kilpatrick, Ryan J. Foley, Wynn V. Jacobson-Galán +15
We present pre-explosion optical and infrared (IR) imaging at the site of the type II supernova (SN II) 2023ixf in Messier 101 at 6.9 Mpc. We astrometrically registered a ground-ba…
Flight of the Bumblebee: the Early Excess Flux of Type Ia Supernova 2023bee revealed by , and Young Supernova Experiment Observations
