The ambiguous AT2022rze: Changing-look AGN mimicking a supernova in a merging galaxy system
P. J. Pessi, R. Lunnan, J. Sollerman +36
AT2022rze is a luminous, ambiguous transient located South-East of the geometric center of its host galaxy at redshift z = 0.08. The host appears to be formed by a merging galaxy s…
ZTF-SEDm Type Ia supernova sample for Twins Embedding spectrophotometric standardisation
C. Ganot, Y. Copin, M. Rigault +26
This paper has two aims: the first one is to build a large homogeneous spectrophotometric Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) sample, using 3069 spectra from the second Zwicky Transient Faci…
Precursor Activity Preceding Interacting Supernovae I: Bridging the Gap with SN 2022mop
S. J. Brennan, S. Barmentloo, S. Schulze +41
Over the past two decades, an increasing number of transients have shown luminous activity at their explosion sites weeks to years before an interacting supernova (SN) is observed.…
ZTF SN Ia DR2: Improved SN Ia colors through expanded dimensionality with SALT3+
W. D. Kenworthy, A. Goobar, D. O. Jones +24
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are a key probe in modern cosmology, as they can be used to measure luminosity distances at gigaparsec scales. Models of their light-curves are used to…
ZTF SN Ia DR2: High-velocity components in the Si II 6355
L. Harvey, K. Maguire, U. Burgaz +27
The ZTF SN Ia Data Release 2 provides a perfect opportunity to perform a thorough search for, and subsequent analysis of, high-velocity components in the Si II 6355 feature in…
