Early panchromatic spectra reveal helium in the thermonuclear supernova 2024kce
Abigail Polin, Dillon Hasenour, Sahana Kumar +26
Faint Type I supernovae blur the boundaries between spectroscopic classes, obscuring their progenitors and explosion mechanisms. One proposed origin is a double detonation, in whic…
Characterizing the host galaxies and delay times of Ca-rich gap transients vs 91bg-like SNe and normal Type Ia SNe
Peter Scherbak, Abigail Polin, Mansi Kasliwal +4
Calcium-rich gap transients are a faint, fast-evolving class of supernovae that show strong nebular Ca emission lines. Their progenitor systems are uncertain, but they are often as…
The Search for Stable Nickel: Investigating the Origins of Type Ia Supernovae with Late-time NIR Spectroscopy from the Carnegie Supernova Project-II
Sahana Kumar, Eric Y. Hsiao, Christopher Ashall +20
Producing stable Ni in Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) requires sufficiently high density conditions that are not predicted for all origin scenarios, so examining the distributi…
1991T-like Supernovae
M. M. Phillips, C. Ashall, Peter J. Brown +23
Understanding the nature of the luminous 1991T-like supernovae is of great importance to supernova cosmology as they are likely to have been more common in the early universe. In t…
The Most Energetic Transients: Tidal Disruptions of High-Mass Stars
Jason T. Hinkle, Benjamin J. Shappee, Katie Auchettl +13
We present the class of extreme nuclear transients (ENTs), including the most energetic single transient yet discovered, Gaia18cdj. Each ENT is coincident with its host-galaxy nucl…
