JWST observations of SN 2024abup: First Detection of CO in a broad-lined Type Ic Supernova and Constraints on r-process Nucleosynthesis

Manisha Shrestha, Lindsey A. Kwok, David J. Sand +42

SN 2024abup is a nearby broad-lined Type Ic supernova (SN Ic-bl) in NGC 0681 at a distance of 23.3 \pm 1.6 Mpc. As energetic explosions of massive stars, SNe Ic-bl are considered a…

Jets from Scratch: Dynamo-Generated Poloidal Magnetic Fields in 3D Collapsar Simulations

Ho-Sang Chan, Ore Gottlieb, Jonatan Jacquemin-Ide +2

The origin of the large-scale poloidal magnetic field required to power relativistic jets in collapsars remains uncertain. While such a field may be inherited during PNS collapse,…

Spinning into the Gap: Direct-Horizon Collapse as the Origin of GW231123 from End-to-End GRMHD Simulations

Ore Gottlieb, Brian D. Metzger, Danat Issa +3

GW231123, the most massive binary black hole (BH) merger observed to date, involves component BHs with masses inside the pair-instability mass gap and unusually high spins. This ch…

r-Process Nucleosynthesis and Radioactively Powered Transients from Magnetar Giant Flares

Anirudh Patel, Brian D. Metzger, Jared A. Goldberg +3

We present nucleosynthesis and light-curve predictions for a new site of the rapid neutron capture process (-process) from magnetar giant flares (GFs). Motivated by observations…

She's Got Her Mother's Hair: Unveiling the Origin of Black Hole Magnetic Fields through Stellar to Collapsar Simulations

Ore Gottlieb, Mathieu Renzo, Brian D. Metzger +2

Relativistic jets from a Kerr black hole (BH) following the core collapse of a massive star ("collapsar") is a leading model for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, the two key ingre…

The Effects of -Process Enrichment in Hydrogen-Rich Supernovae

Anirudh Patel, Jared A. Goldberg, Mathieu Renzo +1

Core-collapse supernovae are candidate sites for the rapid neutron capture process (-process). We explore the effects of enrichment from -process nuclei on the light-curves o…
