A characterization of ASAS-SN core-collapse supernova environments with VLT+MUSE: I. Sample selection, analysis of local environments, and correlations with light curve properties

Thallis Pessi, Jose L. Prieto, Joseph P. Anderson +17

The analysis of core-collapse supernova (CCSN) environments can provide important information on the life cycle of massive stars and constrain the progenitor properties of these po…

The Core Normal Type Ia Supernova 2019np: An Overall Spherical Explosion with an Aspherical Surface Layer and an Aspherical 56Ni Core

Peter Hoeflich, Yi Yang, Dietrich Baade +10

Optical spectropolarimetry of the normal thermonuclear supernova SN2019np from -14.5 to +14.5 days relative to B-band maximum detected an intrinsic continuum polarization, p(cont),…

RINGO3 polarimetry of very young ZTF supernovae

J. R. Maund, Y. Yang, I. A. Steele +13

The early phases of the observed evolution of the supernovae (SNe) are expected to be dominated by the shock breakout and ``flash" ionization of the surrounding circumstellar mediu…

A WC/WO star exploding within an expanding carbon-oxygen-neon nebula

A. Gal-Yam, R. Bruch, S. Schulze +46

The final explosive fate of massive stars, and the nature of the compact remnants they leave behind (black holes and neutron stars), are major open questions in astrophysics. Many…

On the maximum luminosities of normal stripped-envelope supernovae -- brighter than explosion models allow

J. Sollerman, S. Yang, D. Perley +5

Stripped-envelope supernovae (SE SNe) of Type Ib and Type Ic are thought to result from explosions of massive stars having lost their outer envelopes. The favoured explosion mechan…

Helium-rich Superluminous Supernovae From the Zwicky Transient Facility

Lin Yan, D. Perley, S. Schulze +39

Helium is expected to be present in the ejecta of some hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSN-I). However, so far only one event, PTF10hgi has been identified with He feature…
