Hubble as a Unique Discovery Engine of the Fate of Massive Stars and Black Hole Formation
Avishai Gilkis, Eva Laplace, Charles D. Kilpatrick +3
How stellar-mass black holes are formed is an open question in astrophysics, with very limited observational constraints. It is not known which types of stars are more likely to pr…
A 14-year-old Mystery: The Peculiar Case of the Engine-driven SN 2012ap
Itai Sfaradi, Raffaella Margutti, Ryan Chornock +29
We present late-time ( d) optical (Keck), X-ray (Chandra and NuSTAR), and radio (VLA, ALMA, and the uGMRT) observations of the Type Ic-BL SN 2012ap. Previous studies of…
VLBI Observations of SN 2012au Reveal a Compact Radio Source a Decade Post Explosion
Mattias Lazda, Kenzie Nimmo, Maria R. Drout +13
Three leading models have been put forth to justify the observed radio re-brightening associated with stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) years post-explosion: radiation from an e…
HST Deep Upper Limits Rule Out a Surviving Massive Binary Companion to the Type Ic Supernova 2012fh
Benjamin F. Williams, Emmanouil Zapartas, Ori D. Fox +19
Current explanations of the mass-loss mechanism for stripped-envelope supernovae remain divided between single and binary progenitor systems. Here we obtain deep ultraviolet (UV) i…
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…
A milliarcsecond localization associates FRB 20190417A with a compact persistent radio source and an extreme magneto-ionic environment
Alexandra M. Moroianu, Shivani Bhandari, Maria R. Drout +38
We report the milliarcsecond localization of a high (1379 pc/cc) dispersion measure (DM) repeating fast radio burst, FRB 20190417A. Combining European VLBI Network detections of fi…
