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…
SN 2022erq: A Superluminous Thermonuclear Supernova with Escalating Preexplosion Mass Loss
Qian Zhai, Jujia Zhang, Xiaofeng Wang +51
We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the superluminous Type Ia supernova SN 2022erq. Its early spectra, dominated by iron-group elements with weak intermediate-mass…
One Year of SN 2023ixf: Breaking Through the Degenerate Parameter Space in Light-Curve Models with Pulsating Progenitors
Brian Hsu, Nathan Smith, Jared A. Goldberg +21
We present and analyze the extensive optical broadband photometry of the Type II SN 2023ixf up to one year after explosion. We find that, when compared to two pre-existing model gr…
Eruptive mass loss less than a year before the explosion of superluminous supernovae: I. The cases of SN 2020xga and SN 2022xgc
A. Gkini, C. Fransson, R. Lunnan +47
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2020xga and SN 2022xgc, two hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) at and , respectiv…
CSS161010: a luminous, fast blue optical transient with broad blueshifted hydrogen lines
Claudia P. Gutiérrez, Seppo Mattila, Peter Lundqvist +38
We present ultraviolet, optical and near-infrared photometric and optical spectroscopic observations of the luminous, fast blue optical transient (LFBOT), CSS161010:045834-081803 (…
