Wild behaviour near the finish line: the Type Ibn SN 2020able and its stratified environment
L. Tartaglia, E. Cappellaro, G. Valerin +29
We present spectrophotometric observations of the Type Ibn supernova SN~2020able, along with a comprehensive analysis and modelling of its evolution. The transient occurred in SDSS…
Detection and identification of asteroids with the 4-m ILMT
Sara Filali, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +11
The International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) covers a 22.3' wide strip of sky in declination (δ), centred at δ = +29° 21' 41.4'' and right ascension (α) in the range 0 h <=…
Astrometric Calibration of the 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope Observations
Vibhore Negi, Naveen Dukiya, Gokul Singh Mehra +12
The 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) is a dedicated time domain survey telescope that continuously scans the zenithal sky over the Indian Himalayas in the g', r' an…
SN 2024dy: Dust formation in a long-lived Type IIn supernova and constraints on the dust mass
Sota Goto, Masayuki Yamanaka, Koji S. Kawabata +10
Type~IIn supernovae (SNe) are a subclass of core-collapse SNe powered by interaction between the ejecta and the dense circumstellar material. Among them, long-lived Type~IIn events…
Performance of the 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope tested in two fields at high and low ecliptic and galactic latitudes
Sara Filali, Kumar Pranshu, Jean Surdej +10
The 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) offers a unique opportunity to detect transients in a narrow strip of sky. We explore ILMT's potential to detect astrometric an…
Early interaction signatures and an extended plateau phase in Type II SN 2020aze
B. Ailawadhi, R. Dastidar, K. Misra +27
We present a photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the fast-declining Type II SN 2020aze, observed in optical bands from 2.2 to 137.4 days after explosion. The V-band light cur…
