SN 2024bfu, SN 2025qe, and the early light curves of type Iax supernovae

M. R. Magee, T. L. Killestein, M. Pursiainen +39

Type Iax supernovae (SNe Iax) are one of the most common subclasses of thermonuclear supernova and yet their sample size, particularly those observed shortly after explosion, remai…

The Early Ultraviolet Light-Curves of Type II Supernovae and the Radii of Their Progenitor Stars

Ido Irani, Jonathan Morag, Avishay Gal-Yam +18

We present a sample of 34 normal SNe II detected with the Zwicky Transient Facility, with multi-band UV light-curves starting at days after explosion, as well as X-ray d…

Resolving the explosion of supernova 2023ixf in Messier 101 within its complex circumstellar environment

E. A. Zimmerman, I. Irani, P. Chen +54

Observing a supernova explosion shortly after it occurs can reveal important information about the physics of stellar explosions and the nature of the progenitor stars of supernova…

1100 days in the life of the supernova 2018ibb -- The best pair-instability supernova candidate, to date

Steve Schulze, Claes Fransson, Alexandra Kozyreva +63

Abridged - Stars with ZAMS masses between 140 and are thought to explode as pair-instability supernovae (PISNe). During their thermonuclear runaway, PISNe can produce…

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…

SN 2022oqm -- a Ca-rich explosion of a compact progenitor embedded in C/O circumstellar material

I. Irani, Ping Chen, Jonathan Morag +27

We present the discovery and analysis of SN\,2022oqm, a Type Ic supernova (SN) detected \,day after explosion. The SN rises to a blue and short-lived (2\,days) initial peak. Ea…
