SN~2018erx: A fast-evolving, dust-reddened Type Icn supernova with broad C II emission lines
Kaustav K. Das, Anjasha Gangopadhyay, Mansi M. Kasliwal +17
We present the discovery and characterization of SN~2018erx (ZTF18abkmbpy), a fast-evolving, unusually red, interacting stripped-envelope supernova. Spectroscopically, SN~2018erx s…
On the Gamma-ray Efficiency of Superluminous Supernovae: Potential Detections and Population-Level Constraints
Milena CrnogorÄeviÄ, Tim Linden, Ariel Goobar +1
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are among the most energetic stellar explosions, yet their central power source remains uncertain. Models invoking magnetar spin-down or circumstel…
Illuminating the Local Universe: Large-Scale Structure from ZTF Type Ia Supernovae
Antoine Gilles Lordet, Ariel Goobar, Jens Jasche +12
Within the volume-limited subsample at of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) DR2 sample, we confirm a statistically significant excess of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at $…
A Natural Telescope: Discovery of the Strongly Lensed Type II SN 2025mkn at
Cameron Lemon, Ariel Goobar, Joel Johansson +90
We present the discovery of SN 2025mkn, a gravitationally lensed Type II supernova. First detected as a blue transient in ZTF, 0.83 from a elliptical gala…
ZTF SN Ia DR2 follow-up: Characterization of subluminous Type Ia supernovae in the ZTF DR2 full sample
Alaa Alburai, LluÃs Galbany, Umut Burgaz +19
The Zwicky Transient Facility Data Release 2 (ZTF DR2) includes a total of 3,628 Type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia), providing the largest and most complete sample of spectroscopically co…
Microlensing of lensed supernovae Zwicky & iPTF16geu: constraints on the lens galaxy mass slope and dark compact object fraction
Nikki Arendse, Edvard Mörtsell, Luke Weisenbach +9
To date, only two strongly lensed type Ia supernovae (SNIa) have been discovered with an isolated galaxy acting as the lens: iPTF16geu and SN Zwicky. The observed image fluxes for…
