Nearby Supernova Science in the Era of High Cadence, Deep Time Domain Surveys

David J. Sand, Bhagya Subrayan, Conor L. Ransome +41

We discuss science opportunities for nearby supernovae (SNe) in the era of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), emphasizing the youngest phases o…

How Low Can We Go? Minimum Spectroscopic Requirements For Supernova Subtype Classification

Willow Fox Fortino, Federica B. Bianco, Maryam Modjaz +2

Millions of supernovae will be discovered with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). As a result, spectrographs around the world will have to make d…

Same explosion, many faces: numerical modeling reveals viewing angle as a driver of diversity for core-collapse SNe in binary systems

Soham Mandal, Raphael Baer-way, Shazrene Mohamed +3

Observable properties of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) depend sensitively on the circumstellar material (CSM) formed by pre-explosion mass loss from the progenitor star. Since a…

Radio and X-ray Observations of the Transitional Supernova 2019yvr: Insights into the Progenitor Mass-Loss History

Raphael Baer-way, Raphael Baer-Way, Poonam Chandra +8

The final life stages of the massive star progenitors of stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) are still an open question, especially when it comes to the timing and magnitude of th…

JWST Observations of Calcium-Strong Transients: I. Complex Nebular He Emission in SN 2024uj

Saarah Hall, Lindsey A. Kwok, Aravind P. Ravi +29

We present the first JWST observations of a Calcium-Strong Transient (CaST), SN 2024uj, a rare class of supernovae (SNe) with observable properties that are consistent with both th…

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…
