A 32-day Quasi-periodic Modulation in the Post-peak Light Curve of the Superluminous Supernova SN 2018bsz

Aiswarya Sankar. K, Ting-Wan Chen, Seán J. Brennan +8

Recurrent structure in supernova (SN) light curves may reveal physical clocks associated with central-engine dynamics, binary orbital motion, or interaction with structured circums…

Decoding the Early-Time Light Curves of Type Ia Supernovae. II. Population Parameters of One Thousand ZTF Supernovae

Chang Liu, Adam A. Miller, Nikhil Sarin +13

Early-time light curves of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) encode critical information about their progenitor systems. We characterize the rise of normal SNe Ia using a volume-complete…

Detection of persistent helium absorption in the 91bg-like type Ia Supernova 2022an

Ping Chen, Avishay Gal-Yam, Subo Dong +14

We present optical and near-infrared observations of the fast-declining Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2022an. The photometric and spectroscopic properties identify it as a standard 91b…

A Faint Progenitor System for the Faint Supernova 2024vjm

Erez A. Zimmerman, Avishay Gal-Yam, Paul J. Groot +68

Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are well known for their role as standardizable cosmological candles. Their uniformity is credited to their single origin as thermonuclear explosions of…

Multiwavelength Analysis of Six Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients

Cassie Sevilla, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Nayana A. J. +43

We present multiwavelength observations and analysis of six luminous fast blue optical transients (LFBOTs) discovered in Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey data. We identified…

AT2024wpp: An Extremely Luminous Fast Ultraviolet Transient Powered by Accretion onto a Black Hole

Daniel A. Perley, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Zoë McGrath +69

We present the discovery of AT 2024wpp ("Whippet"), a fast and luminous 18cow-like transient. At a redshift of z=0.0868, revealed by Keck Cosmic Web Imager spectroscopy of its fain…
