Same explosion, many faces: numerical modeling reveals viewing angle as a driver of diversity for core-collapse SNe in binary systems
Soham Mandal, Raphael Baer-way, Shazrene Mohamed +3
The study uses binary evolution and radiation‑hydrodynamics simulations to show that asymmetric circumstellar material produced by binary interaction creates strong viewing‑angle d…
JWST Spectra Indicate a Large Mass of Postshock Dust Formed by SN 2010jl
Nathan Smith, Melissa Shahbandeh, Ori D. Fox +22
The paper reports JWST mid‑infrared spectra of the Type IIn supernova SN 2010jl 13 years after explosion, revealing a large (~0.2 M☉) mass of warm dust formed in the post‑shock reg…
Radio and X-ray Observations of the Transitional Supernova 2019yvr: Insights into the Progenitor Mass-Loss History
Raphael Baer-way, Poonam Chandra, Maryam Modjaz +7
The final life stages of the massive star progenitors of stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) are still an open question, especially when it comes to the timing and magnitude of th…
SN 2019vxm: A luminous and long-lived Type IIn supernova with early flash-ionisation features
Y. -Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, T. J. Moriya +38
We present the photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the luminous and long-lasting Type IIn supernova (SN) 2019vxm. The SN reaches a peak V-band absolute magnitude of MV = -20.…
First Results from the LSST Shadow Survey: The Restless Luminous Blue Variable AT2017des in the Virgo-Cluster Galaxy, NGC4532
Conor L. Ransome, Bhagya M. Subrayan, David J. Sand +66
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will start in late-summer 2026, revolutionizing transient astronomy. Here, we present the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) Shadow Survey, which…
The first radio view of a type Ibn supernova in SN 2023fyq: Understanding the mass-loss history in the last decade before the explosion
Raphael Baer-Way, A. J. Nayana, Wynn Jacobson-Galan +13
Supernovae that interact with hydrogen-poor, helium-rich circumstellar material (CSM), known as Type Ibn supernovae (SNe Ibn), present a unique opportunity to probe mass-loss proce…
