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…

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…

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…
