The Eye of Sauron in SN 2025ngs: a Short-plateau Cousin of SN 1998S with Evidence for a Ring-like Circumstellar Medium
Conor L. Ransome, David J. Sand, K. Azalee Bostroem +35
Interacting supernovae probe the twilight years of massive stars, exhibiting signatures of interaction between the supernova ejecta and surrounding material expelled from the proge…
Spectral Diversity in Type Ibn Supernovae and the Large Host Offset of SN2024acyl
Yize Dong, V. Ashley Villar, Anya Nugent +35
In this paper, we first present observations of SN~2024acyl, a normal Type Ibn supernova with a large projected offset (35~kpc) from its host galaxy. The low star-formation r…
Enabling Early Transient Discovery in LSST via Difference Imaging with DECam
Yize Dong, Kaylee de Soto, V. Ashley Villar +58
We present SLIDE, a pipeline that enables transient discovery in data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), using archival images from the Da…
Mid-Infrared Dust Evolution and Late-time Circumstellar Medium Interaction in SN 2017eaw
Jeniveve Pearson, Bhagya Subrayan, David J. Sand +24
We present JWST/MIRI and complementary ground-based near-infrared observations of the Type II SN 2017eaw taken 6 years post-explosion. SN 2017eaw is still detected out to 25 m…
One Year of SN 2023ixf: Breaking Through the Degenerate Parameter Space in Light-Curve Models with Pulsating Progenitors
Brian Hsu, Nathan Smith, Jared A. Goldberg +21
We present and analyze the extensive optical broadband photometry of the Type II SN 2023ixf up to one year after explosion. We find that, when compared to two pre-existing model gr…
Late-time Hubble Space Telescope Ultraviolet Spectra of SN 2023ixf and SN 2024ggi Show Ongoing Interaction with Circumstellar Material
K. Azalee Bostroem, Stefano Valenti, David J. Sand +31
We present far- and near-ultraviolet (UV) spectra of the Type II supernovae (SNe) SN~2023ixf from days 199 to 722 and SN~2024ggi at days 41 and 232. Both supernovae show broad, blu…
