A Disappearing Act: Constraints From "Missing" Flares of Repeating Partial TDE Candidates

Jason T. Hinkle, Chang Liu, Adam A. Miller +6

Recurrent tidal disruption events (rTDEs) are sources that exhibit multiple TDE-like flares; many are likely powered by the recurring partial disruption of a bound star, in a repea…

ASAS-SN Rates IV: Constraints on the Kilonova Rate

Dhvanil D. Desai, Benjamin J. Shappee, Christopher S. Kochanek +10

Kilonovae (KNe) are the electromagnetic signatures of neutron star mergers and are likely the dominant site of cosmic -process nucleosynthesis. However, their intrinsic rate rem…

Supernova Rates and Luminosity Functions from ASAS-SN III: Over a Decade of Type Ia SNe and Their Subtypes

Dhvanil D. Desai, Benjamin J. Shappee, Christopher S. Kochanek +11

We present volumetric rates and luminosity functions (LFs) of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN), covering the 11-year period fr…

Supernova rates and luminosity functions from ASAS-SN II: 2014-2017 core-collapse supernovae and their subtypes

T. Pessi, D. D. Desai, J. L. Prieto +7

The volumetric rates and luminosity functions (LFs) of core-collapse supernovae (ccSN) and their subtypes are important for understanding the cosmic history of star formation and t…

ASASSN-24fw: An 8-month long, 4.1 mag, optically achromatic and polarized dimming event

R. Forés-Toribio, B. JoHantgen, C. S. Kochanek +20

We discuss ASASSN-24fw, a 13th-magnitude star that optically faded by mag starting in September 2024 after over a decade of quiescence in ASAS-SN. The dimmimg…

JWST Observations of SN 2023ixf II: The Panchromatic Evolution Between 250 and 720 Days After the Explosion

K. Medler, C. Ashall, P. Hoeflich +60

We present the nebular phase spectroscopic and photometric observations of the nearby hydrogen-rich core-collapse supernova (CC-SN) 2023ixf, obtained through our JWST programs. The…
