AT 2022csn: A Photometrically Peculiar Optical/UV Tidal Disruption Event in a Type II AGN
Yael Dgany, Iair Arcavi, Grisha Zeltyn +18
The emission mechanism and host galaxy preference of optical/UV tidal disruption events (TDEs) are still not entirely understood. We present observations of the TDE AT 2022csn, whi…
Type IIn Supernovae. I. Uniform Light-curve Characterization and a Bimodality in the Radiated Energy Distribution
Daichi Hiramatsu, Edo Berger, Sebastian Gomez +3
We present the largest uniform study to date of Type IIn supernovae (SNe IIn), focusing in this first paper on the multiband optical light curves of 490 SNe IIn. The sample, constr…
The pair-instability origin of supernova 2023vbw
Daichi Hiramatsu, Edo Berger, Daichi Tsuna +18
Stars in the initial and carbon-oxygen core mass ranges of and M, respectively, with low metallicity are predicted to experience copious electron-pos…
Hydrogen-Poor Superluminous Supernovae in the Nebular Phase: Spectral Diversity Due to Ejecta Ionization as a Probe of the Power Source
Peter K. Blanchard, Edo Berger, Sebastian Gomez +6
We present a large sample of 39 nebular-phase optical spectra of 25 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) and jointly analyze them with previously published spectra of 1…
Optimizing Kilonova Searches: A Case Study of the Type IIb SN 2025ulz in the Localization Volume of the Low-Significance Gravitational Wave Event S250818k
Noah Franz, Bhagya Subrayan, Charles D. Kilpatrick +54
Kilonovae, the ultraviolet/optical/infrared counterparts to binary neutron star mergers, are an exceptionally rare class of transients. Optical follow-up campaigns are plagued by c…
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…
