AT2025agpz in Rubin commissioning data: distinguishing a luminous interacting supernova from nuclear transients in compact galaxies
C. R. Angus, M. Quilt, H. F. Stevance +37
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time will discover unprecedented numbers of rare, long-lived optical transients, many of which will be too faint or too n…
BayeSN-TD: Time Delay and Estimation for Lensed SN H0pe
M. Grayling, S. Thorp, K. S. Mandel +6
We present BayeSN-TD, an enhanced implementation of the probabilistic type Ia supernova (SN Ia) BayeSN SED model, designed for fitting multiply-imaged, gravitationally lensed type…
Normal or transitional? The evolution and properties of two type Ia supernovae in the Virgo cluster
L. Izzo, C. Gall, N. Khetan +47
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are among the most precise cosmological distance indicators used to study the expansion history of the Universe. The vast increase of SN Ia data due to…
Characterization of type Ibn SNe
D. Farias, C. Gall, V. A. Villar +29
Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) are characterized by narrow helium (He I) lines from photons produced by the unshocked circumstellar material (CSM). About 80 SNe Ibn have been discovered…
A Panchromatic View of Late-time Shock Power in the Type II Supernova 2023ixf
W. V. Jacobson-Galán, L. Dessart, C. D. Kilpatrick +39
We present multi-wavelength observations of the type II supernova (SN II) 2023ixf during its first two years of evolution. We combine ground-based optical/NIR spectroscopy with Hub…
Evidence for an Instability-Induced Binary Merger in the Double-Peaked, Helium-Rich Type IIn Supernova 2023zkd
A. Gagliano, V. A. Villar, T. Matsumoto +42
We present ultraviolet to infrared observations of the extraordinary Type IIn supernova 2023zkd (SN 2023zkd). Photometrically, it exhibits persistent and luminous precursor emissio…
