The Crab Nebula Revisited Using HST/WFC3

William P. Blair, Ravi Sankrit, Dan Milisavljevic +5

It has been over 24 years since the iconic Crab Nebula has been visited by the high spatial resolution eye of the Hubble Space Telescope. The expanding nebula is dynamic on these t…

HST Deep Upper Limits Rule Out a Surviving Massive Binary Companion to the Type Ic Supernova 2012fh

Benjamin F. Williams, Emmanouil Zapartas, Ori D. Fox +19

Current explanations of the mass-loss mechanism for stripped-envelope supernovae remain divided between single and binary progenitor systems. Here we obtain deep ultraviolet (UV) i…

The first radio view of a type Ibn supernova in SN 2023fyq: Understanding the mass-loss history in the last decade before the explosion

Raphael Baer-Way, A. J. Nayana, Wynn Jacobson-Galan +13

Supernovae that interact with hydrogen-poor, helium-rich circumstellar material (CSM), known as Type Ibn supernovae (SNe Ibn), present a unique opportunity to probe mass-loss proce…

Very Late-Time JWST and Keck Spectra of the Oxygen-Rich Supernova 1995N

Geoffrey C. Clayton, R. Wesson, Ori D. Fox +43

We present new {\it JWST}/MIRI MRS and Keck spectra of SN 1995N obtained in 2022--2023, more than 10,000 days after the supernova (SN) explosion. These spectra are among the latest…

Two Decades of Dust Evolution in SN 2005af through JWST, Spitzer, and Chemical Modeling

Arkaprabha Sarangi, Szanna Zsiros, Tamas Szalai +20

The evolution of dust in core-collapse supernovae (SNe), in general, is poorly constrained owing to a lack of infrared observations after a few years from explosion. Most theories…

Large Cold Dust Reservoir Revealed in Transitional SN Ib 2014C by James Webb Space Telescope Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy

Samaporn Tinyanont, Ori D. Fox, Melissa Shahbandeh +32

Supernova (SN) 2014C is a rare transitional event that exploded as a hydrogen-poor, helium-rich Type Ib SN and subsequently interacted with a hydrogen-rich circumstellar medium (CS…

JWST/MIRI detects the dusty SN1993J about 30 years after explosion

Tamás Szalai, Szanna Zsíros, Jacob Jencson +37

Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) have long been considered to contribute significantly to the cosmic dust budget. New dust cools quickly and is therefore detectable at mid-infrared…
