Panchromatic JWST Observations and Models of the Dim Type Iax Supernova 2024vjm at 200 days
E Baron, J. M. DerKacy, C. Ashall +23
We report JWST spectra and photometry of the underluminous SN Iax 2024vjm obtained 202.8 restframe days post-explosion. The spectrum exhibits a rich set of forbidden lines from low…
The Production of Electron-Capture Elements in Thermonuclear Supernovae: Theory vs. Observations
S. Shiber, P. Hoeflich, T. Mera +9
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) explosively destroy carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (WDs) in multiple stellar systems. They produce approximately 50% of the iron-group elements in the Unive…
SN 2019vxm: A luminous and long-lived Type IIn supernova with early flash-ionisation features
Y. -Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, T. J. Moriya +38
We present the photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the luminous and long-lasting Type IIn supernova (SN) 2019vxm. The SN reaches a peak V-band absolute magnitude of MV = -20.…
Filling The Pockets: The Spherical Nature of 3D Deflagration in Thermonuclear Supernovae
S. Shiber, P. Hoeflich, T. Mera +9
We investigate thermonuclear explosions within the delayed detonation framework. While spherical delayed detonation models generally reproduce key observational features, a fundame…
JWST Observations of SN 2024ggi II: NIRSpec Spectroscopy and CO Modeling at 285 and 385 Days Past the Explosion
T. Mera, C. Ashall, P. Hoeflich +20
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRSpec observations of SN~2024ggi, spanning wavelengths of 1.7--5.5 micron at +285.51 and +385.27 days post-explosion. These nebular s…
The nebular phase of SN 2024ggi: a low-mass progenitor with no signs of interaction
L. Ferrari, G. Folatelli, K. Ertini +14
Context: SN 2024ggi is a Type II supernova (SN) discovered in the nearby galaxy NGC 3621 (D Mpc) on 2024 April 03.21 UT. Its proximity enabled a detailed investi…
JWST Observations of SN 2023ixf II: The Panchromatic Evolution Between 250 and 720 Days After the Explosion
K. Medler, C. Ashall, P. Hoeflich +60
We present the nebular phase spectroscopic and photometric observations of the nearby hydrogen-rich core-collapse supernova (CC-SN) 2023ixf, obtained through our JWST programs. The…
JWST Observations of SN 2024ggi I: Interpretation and Model Comparison of the Type II Supernova 2024ggi at 55 days Past Explosion
E. Baron, C. Ashall, J. M. DerKacy +40
We present panchromatic 0.4-21 microns observations of the nearby (about 7.2 Mpc) Type II supernova 2024ggi, obtained during the plateau phase at about 55 d past explosion. Our dat…
Analyzing type Ia supernovae near-infrared light curves with Principal Component Analysis
T. E. Müller-Bravo, L. Galbany, M. D. Stritzinger +8
Type Ia supernovae (SNeIa), the thermonuclear explosions of C/O white dwarf stars in binary systems, are phenomena that remain poorly understood. The complexity of their progenitor…
Three-dimensional Structure of Incomplete Carbon-Oxygen Detonations in Type Ia Supernovae
A. Khokhlov, I. Dominguez, A. Y. Chtchelkanova +6
Carbon-oxygen (CO) detonation with reactions terminating either after burning of C in the leading C + C reaction or after burning of C and O to S…
Numerical and Physical Challenges to Nebular Spectroscopy in Thermonuclear Supernovae
P. Hoeflich, E. Fereidouni, A. Fisher +8
Thermodynamical explosions of White Dwarfs (WD)are one of the keys to high precision cosmology. Nebular spectra, namely mid-infrared (MIR) with JWST are an effective tool to probe…
Rapid follow-up observations of infant supernovae with the Gran Telescopio Canarias
Lluís Galbany, Claudia P. Gutiérrez, Lara Piscarreta +21
The first few hours of a supernova (SN) contain significant information about the progenitor system. The most modern wide-field surveys that scan the sky repeatedly every few days…
Using nebular near-IR spectroscopy to measure asymmetric chemical distributions in 2003fg-like thermonuclear supernovae
J. O'Hora, C. Ashall, M. Shahbandeh +10
We present an analysis of three near-infrared (NIR; 1.0-2.4 m) spectra of the SN 2003fg-like/"super-Chandrasekhar" type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) SN 2009dc, SN 2020hvf, and SN 2022…

We present a JWST MIRI/MRS spectrum (5-27 m) of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia), SN 2021aefx at days past -band maximum. The spectrum, which was obtained during t…
Aspects of Multi-Dimensional Modelling of Substellar Atmospheres
Ch. Helling, E. Pedretti, S. Berdyugina +6
Theoretical arguments and observations suggest that the atmospheres of Brown Dwarfs and planets are very dynamic on chemical and on physical time scales. The modelling of such subs…
