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…

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…

The broad-lined type Ic supernova 2020lao experienced an energetic explosion with no central-engine signatures

M. D. Stritzinger, T. J. Moriya, S. Bose +18

We present infant-phase observations of the SN Ic-BL 2020lao, including optical spectroscopy beginning 48 hrs after explosion. The explosion time was constrained by power-law fits…

The Type Ia Supernova 2021hem: A 2003fg-like Event in an Apparently Hostless Environment

Subhash Bose, M. D. Stritzinger, A. Malmgaard +25

We report observations of Type Ia SN 2021hem, located in an apparently hostless environment. With a peak absolute B-band magnitude of -19.96 mag, and a lack of secondary maximum in…

JWST Observations of SN 2023ixf I: Completing the Early Multi-Wavelength Picture with Plateau-phase Spectroscopy

J. M. DerKacy, C. Ashall, E. Baron +46

We present and analyze panchromatic (0.35--14 m) spectroscopy of the Type II supernova 2023ixf, including near- and mid-infrared spectra obtained 33.6 days after explosion duri…
