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…
Measuring the Arrow of Time: Identification, Estimation, and Inference for Directional Structure in Multivariate Time Series
Avishek Bhandari
Many questions across the sciences take the same form: several coupled series are observed together, and the analyst wants to know not merely that they move together but which one…
JWST Medium-Resolution Infrared Spectroscopy of SN 2022acko: Tracing Molecule Formation in the Nebular Phase
K. Medler, T. Mera, C. Ashall +28
The Type II supernova (SN II) SN 2022acko was the first to be spectroscopically observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (). Here, we analyze SN 2022acko's second…
JWST observations of SN 2024abup: First Detection of CO in a broad-lined Type Ic Supernova and Constraints on r-process Nucleosynthesis
Manisha Shrestha, Lindsey A. Kwok, David J. Sand +42
SN 2024abup is a nearby broad-lined Type Ic supernova (SN Ic-bl) in NGC 0681 at a distance of 23.3 \pm 1.6 Mpc. As energetic explosions of massive stars, SNe Ic-bl are considered a…
Probing the 3D Structures of Supernovae through IR Signatures of CO and SiO
T. Mera, P. Hoeflich, C. R. Burns +12
We present a new public-domain MOlecular Fitting Analysis Tool (MOFAT) designed to probe molecule-forming regions in supernovae (SNe) through analysis of molecular features in the…
The Search for Stable Nickel: Investigating the Origins of Type Ia Supernovae with Late-time NIR Spectroscopy from the Carnegie Supernova Project-II
Sahana Kumar, Eric Y. Hsiao, Christopher Ashall +20
Producing stable Ni in Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) requires sufficiently high density conditions that are not predicted for all origin scenarios, so examining the distributi…
