The prevalence and influence of circumstellar material around hydrogen-rich supernova progenitors
Rachel J. Bruch, Avishay Gal-Yam, Ofer Yaron +44
Narrow transient emission lines (flash-ionization features) in early supernova (SN) spectra trace the presence of circumstellar material (CSM) around the massive progenitor stars o…
Uncovering a population of gravitational lens galaxies with magnified standard candle SN Zwicky
Ariel Goobar, Joel Johansson, Steve Schulze +35
Detecting gravitationally lensed supernovae is among the biggest challenges in astronomy. It involves a combination of two very rare phenomena: catching the transient signal of a s…
SN 2020jgb: A Peculiar Type Ia Supernova Triggered by a Helium-Shell Detonation in a Star-Forming Galaxy
Chang Liu, Adam A. Miller, Abigail Polin +25
The detonation of a thin () helium shell (He-shell) atop a white dwarf (WD) is a promising mechanism to explain normal…
The detection efficiency of type Ia supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility: Limits on the intrinsic rate of early flux excesses
M. R. Magee, C. Cuddy, K. Maguire +8
Samples of young type Ia supernovae have shown `early excess' emission in a few cases. Similar excesses are predicted by some explosion and progenitor scenarios and hence can provi…
Constraining Type Ia supernova explosions and early flux excesses with the Zwicky Transient Factory
M. Deckers, K. Maguire, M. R. Magee +14
In the new era of time-domain surveys Type Ia supernovae are being caught sooner after explosion, which has exposed significant variation in their early light curves. Two driving f…
Cosmological Fast Optical Transients with the Zwicky Transient Facility: A Search for Dirty Fireballs
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Perley, Yuhan Yao +33
Dirty fireballs are a hypothesized class of relativistic massive-star explosions with an initial Lorentz factor below the required to pro…
