SN 2024afyu interpreted as a Pair Instability Supernova

P. J. Pessi, S. Barmentloo, Ł. Wyrzykowski +63

Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are the predicted explosions of very massive stars triggered by electron-positron pair production. Numerous transients have been proposed as PIS…

Low-Luminosity Type IIP Supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe. III: Hunting for electron-capture supernovae using nebular spectroscopy

Kaustav K. Das, Anders Jerkstrand, Mansi M. Kasliwal +18

Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe) may arise from ONeMg-core collapse in super-asymptotic giant branch (sAGB) stars near the low-mass core-collapse limit (--\,\Msu…

JWST Nebular Spectroscopy of SN 2023qov: Circumstellar Dust Emission in a Normal Type Ia Supernova

Colin W. Macrie, Conor Larison, Huei Sears +43

We present panchromatic observations of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2023qov, ranging from 2 weeks before to 1 year after maximum light. JWST near- and mid-infrared sp…

Nebular Phase Evolution of SN 2023ixf (I): From Circumstellar Infrared Echo to the onset of in-situ Dust Formation in a Type II Supernova

Avinash Singh, S. Goto, A. Sarangi +58

We present optical and near-infrared (NIR) photometric and spectroscopic observations of the Type II supernova SN 2023ixf spanning 150 to 750 days, combined with published early-ti…

The Double-Peaked Calcium-Strong SN 2025coe: Progenitor Constraints from Early Interaction and Ejecta Asymmetries

Aravind P. Ravi, Sahana Kumar, Raphael Baer-Way +47

Supernova (SN) 2025coe at a distance of 25 Mpc is the second-closest calcium-strong (CaST) transient. It was discovered at a large projected offset of 34 kpc from its p…

Emission line models for the lowest mass core-collapse supernovae -- II. 3D NLTE radiative transfer modelling of a neutrino-driven explosion

Bart F. A. van Baal, Anders Jerkstrand, Daniel Kresse +1

The nebular phase of a supernova (SN) occurs several months to years after the explosion, with asymmetries created by the explosion encoded into the line profiles of the emission l…
