The double white dwarf merger model for the progenitors of SN 2021yfj-like events
Dongdong Liu, Chengyuan Wu, Takashi J. Moriya +4
Context. Recently, a new class of supernovae with prominent narrow emission features of Si, S and Ar has been reported, i.e. SN 2021yfj-like events (SNe Ien). Their progenitor orig…
Optical observations on the young Type Ia SN 2021fxy with detached high velocity features
Liping Li, Jujia Zhang, Zhenyu Wang +5
We present optical observations on the young type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2021fxy obtained within a few days after the explosion, with a focus on its prominent high-velocity featur…
Surrogate models for type II supernovae: Probing low-energy explosions and interaction-free regimes
Zhengyang Zhang, Shuai Zha, Nikhil Sarin +3
To address the computational bottleneck of analyzing type II supernova samples from surveys such as the Legacy Survey of Space and Time, we present two STELLA-based neural-network…
SN 2022erq: A Superluminous Thermonuclear Supernova with Escalating Preexplosion Mass Loss
Qian Zhai, Jujia Zhang, Xiaofeng Wang +51
We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the superluminous Type Ia supernova SN 2022erq. Its early spectra, dominated by iron-group elements with weak intermediate-mass…
Elemental Abundances from Off-center Carbon Burning in Accreting CO White Dwarfs: Implications for SN 2021yfj-like events
Chengyuan Wu, Dongdong Liu, Takashi J. Moriya +3
SN 2021yfj is a recently discovered interacting supernova that exhibits narrow emission lines of Si, S, and Ar, indicating the presence of circumstellar material (CSM) enriched wit…
Supernovae interacting with Si and S-rich circumstellar matter from double white dwarf mergers
Takashi J. Moriya, Chengyuan Wu, Dongdong Liu +2
We present that supernovae interacting with a dense Si and S-rich circumstellar matter like SN 2021yfj can originate from mergers of two white dwarfs. A C+O white dwarf accreting H…
