When IIb Ceases To Be: Bridging the Gap Between IIb and Short-plateau Supernovae
Joseph R. Farah, D. Andrew Howell, Daichi Hiramatsu +13
Hydrogen-rich supernovae (SNe) span a range of hydrogen envelope masses at core collapse, producing diverse light curves from extended plateaus in Type II SNe to double-peaked Type…
Lense-Thirring precessing magnetar engine drives a superluminous supernova
Joseph R. Farah, Logan J. Prust, D. Andrew Howell +10
Type I superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) are at least an order of magnitude brighter than standard supernovae, with the internal power source for their luminosity still unknown. T…
James Webb Space Telescope Observations of the Nearby and Precisely-Localized FRB 20250316A: A Potential Near-IR Counterpart and Implications for the Progenitors of Fast Radio Bursts
Peter K. Blanchard, Edo Berger, Shion E. Andrew +23
We present deep James Webb Space Telescope near-infrared imaging to search for a quiescent or transient counterpart to FRB 20250316A, which was precisely localized with the CHIME/F…
The Jetted Tidal Disruption Event AT2022cmc: Investigating Connections to the Optical Tidal Disruption Event Population and Spectral Subclasses Through Late-Time Follow-up
Erica Hammerstein, S. Bradley Cenko, Igor Andreoni +14
AT2022cmc is the first on-axis jetted tidal disruption event (TDE) to be discovered at optical wavelengths. The optically bright nature of AT2022cmc presents an unprecedented oppor…
A Detection of Helium in the Bright Superluminous Supernova SN 2024rmj
Harsh Kumar, Edo Berger, Peter K. Blanchard +8
We present extensive ultraviolet (UV), optical, and near-infrared (NIR) photometric and spectroscopic observations of the nearby hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) SN20…
AT2023vto: An Exceptionally Luminous Helium Tidal Disruption Event from a Massive Star
Harsh Kumar, Edo Berger, Daichi Hiramatsu +10
We present optical/UV observations and the spectroscopic classification of the transient AT2023vto as a tidal disruption event (TDE) at z = 0.4846. The spectrum is dominated by a b…
