Diversity of stripped-envelope supernova light curves from interaction with binary-driven circumstellar material
Dandan Wei, Fabian R. N. Schneider, Philipp Podsiadlowski +2
A growing number of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) exhibit diverse light-curve morphologies that indicate strong interaction with dense, pre-existing circumstellar material (CSM)…
A clear detection of proper motion confirms that the claimed galaxy candidate, "Capotauro'', is a Y-type brown dwarf
F. -Y. F. Liu, D. J. McLeod, B. J. Sutlieff +13
The compact red source ``Capotauro'', discovered in deep JWST imaging in 2025, has been suggested as a possible galaxy candidate at redshift on account of its extreme N…
Good things always come in 3s: trimodality in the binary black-hole chirp-mass distribution supports bimodal black-hole formation
Reinhold Willcox, Fabian R. N. Schneider, Eva Laplace +7
The latest GWTC-4 release from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration nearly doubles the known population of double compact object mergers and reveals a new trimodal structure in…
New gravitational-wave data support a bimodal black-hole mass distribution
R. Willcox, F. R. N. Schneider, E. Laplace +7
Detailed stellar evolution and supernova models yield a bimodal black-hole mass distribution with a narrow peak around 10 solar masses from stars within a narrow range of progenito…
Explosions of pulsating red supergiants: a natural pathway for the diversity of Type II-P/L supernovae
V. A. Bronner, E. Laplace, F. R. N. Schneider +1
Red supergiants (RSGs), which are progenitors of hydrogen-rich Type II supernovae (SNe), have been known to pulsate from both observations and theory. The pulsations can be present…
Pulsations change the structures of massive stars before explosion: interpreting SN 2023ixf and SN 2024ggi
Eva Laplace, Vincent A. Bronner, Fabian R. N. Schneider +1
Massive red supergiants (RSGs) are known to become hydrodynamically unstable before they explode. Still, the vast majority of supernova (SN) models assume RSG progenitors in hydros…
