Fast X-ray Transient EP260321a: Shock Breakout through an Extended Circumstellar Matter
Maokai Hu, Yi Yang, Lifan Wang +1
The Einstein Probe (EP) has discovered a fast X-ray transient, EP260321a, whose optical counterpart was subsequently classified as a broad-lined Type Ic supernova. Its observed ris…
Pinning Down the Geometry of the Type Ic Broad-Line Supernova 2026gzf
Xudong Wen, Yi Yang, Jing Lu +11
Type Ic broad-line supernovae (SNe Ic-BL) are often associated with energetic explosions that display a prompt outburst of high-energy emission. Since their progenitor lost the H a…
SN 2024abvb: A Type Icn Supernova in the Outskirts of its Host Galaxy
Maokai Hu, Shengyu Yan, Xiaofeng Wang +11
We present multiband photometric and spectroscopic observations of supernova (SN) 2024abvb, which exhibits early-time prominent photoionized narrow emission lines of C II superpose…
Spectropolarimetric Evolution of SN 2023ixf: an Asymmetric Explosion in a Confined Aspherical Circumstellar Medium
Sergiy S. Vasylyev, Luc Dessart, Yi Yang +15
We present complete spectropolarimetric coverage of the Type II supernova (SN) 2023ixf ranging from 1 to 120 days after explosion. Polarimetry was obtained with the Kast double spe…
A shock crashing into confined dense circumstellar matter brightens the nascent SN 2023ixf
Maokai Hu, Lifan Wang, Xiaofeng Wang
Red supergiants may experience a short-lived period of episodic mass loss rather than steady winds before their core collapses, leading to dense circumstellar matter (CSM) close to…
A Shock Flash Breaking Out of a Dusty Red Supergiant
Gaici Li, Maokai Hu, Wenxiong Li +41
Shock breakout emission is light that arises when a shockwave, generated by core-collapse explosion of a massive star, passes through its outer envelope. Hitherto, the earliest det…
