The evolutionary history of ultra-compact accreting binaries. I. Chemical abundances and formation channel of the eclipsing AM CVn system ZTF J225237.05-051917.4 from HST spectroscopy
W. Yu, A. F. Pala, T. Kupfer +33
AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) stars are ultra-compact binary systems composed of a white dwarf (WD) primary accreting from a H-deficient donor. They are important as potential prog…

Luminous, rapidly declining supernovae as stripped transitional objects in low metallicity environments: the case of SN 2022lxg
P. Charalampopoulos, R. Kotak, J. Sollerman +24
We present an analysis of the optical and near-infrared properties of SN 2022lxg, a bright ( mag) and rapidly evolving SN. It was discovered withi…
