SN 2019vxm: A Shocking Coincidence between Fermi and TESS
Zachary G. Lane, Ryan Ridden-Harper, Sofia Rest +37
Shock breakout and, in some cases, jet-driven high-energy emission are increasingly recognized as key signatures of the earliest phases of core-collapse supernovae, especially in T…
An Archival Optical Counterpart Search for Extragalactic Fast X-Ray Transients Discovered by Einstein Probe
Run-Duo Liang, Wen-Xiong Li, Liang-Duan Liu +50
Extragalactic fast X-ray transients (eFXTs) represent a rapidly growing class of high-energy phenomena, whose physical origins remain poorly understood. With its wide-field, sensit…
Evidence for Extended Hydrogen-Poor CSM in the Three-Peaked Light Curve of Stripped Envelope Ib Supernova
Yossef Zenati, Qinan Wang, Alexey Bobrick +40
We present multi-band ATLAS photometry for SN 2019tsf, a stripped-envelope Type Ib supernova (SESN). The SN shows a triple-peaked light curve and a late (re-)brightening, making it…
A Comprehensive Investigation of Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows Detected by TESS
Hugh Roxburgh, Ryan Ridden-Harper, Zachary G. Lane +9
Gamma-ray bursts produce afterglows that can be observed across the electromagnetic spectrum and can provide insight into the nature of their progenitors. While most telescopes tha…
Final Moments III: Explosion Properties and Progenitor Constraints of CSM-Interacting Type II Supernovae
W. V. Jacobson-Galán, L. Dessart, K. W. Davis +52
We present analysis of the plateau and late-time phase properties of a sample of 39 Type II supernovae (SNe II) that show narrow, transient, high-ionization emission lines (i.e., "…
Evidence for an Instability-Induced Binary Merger in the Double-Peaked, Helium-Rich Type IIn Supernova 2023zkd
A. Gagliano, V. A. Villar, T. Matsumoto +42
We present ultraviolet to infrared observations of the extraordinary Type IIn supernova 2023zkd (SN 2023zkd). Photometrically, it exhibits persistent and luminous precursor emissio…
