A seven-Earth-radius helium-burning star inside a 20.5-min detached binary
Jie Lin, Chengyuan Wu, Heran Xiong +28
Binary evolution theory predicts that the second common envelope (CE) ejection can produce low-mass (0.32-0.36 Msun) subdwarf B (sdB) stars inside ultrashort-orbital-period binary…
Detailed spectrophotometric analysis of the superluminous and fast evolving SN 2019neq
Achille Fiore, Stefano Benetti, Leonardo Tartaglia +24
SN 2019neq was a very fast evolving superluminous supernova. At a redshift z=0.1059, its peak absolute magnitude was -21.5+/-0.2 mag in g band. In this work, we present data and an…
A Shock Flash Breaking Out of a Dusty Red Supergiant
Gaici Li, Maokai Hu, Wenxiong Li +41
Shock breakout emission is light that arises when a shockwave, generated by core-collapse explosion of a massive star, passes through its outer envelope. Hitherto, the earliest det…
The Dusty and Extremely Red Progenitor of the Type II Supernova 2023ixf in Messier 101
Danfeng Xiang, Jun Mo, Lingzhi Wang +4
Stars with initial masses in the range of 8-25 solar masses are thought to end their lives as hydrogen-rich supernovae (SNe II). Based on the pre-explosion images of Hubble Space T…
Discovery of the Closest Ultrastripped Supernova: SN 2021agco in UGC 3855
Shengyu Yan, Xiaofeng Wang, Xing Gao +16
We present the discovery and studies of the helium-rich, fast-evolving supernova (SN) 2021agco at a distance of 40 Mpc. Its early-time flux is found to rise from half peak t…
A Superluminous Supernova Lightened by Collisions with Pulsational Pair-instability Shells
Weili Lin, Xiaofeng Wang, Lin Yan +23
Superluminous supernovae are among the most energetic stellar explosions in the Universe, but their energy sources remain an open question. Here we present long-term observations o…
