Probing the Nature of the Circumstellar Material Surrounding SN 2024ggi: A Search for Precursor Emission and Constraints from Radio Observations

Tobias Géron, James K. Leung, Maria R. Drout +8

We present an analysis of the pre-explosion optical light curve and post-explosion radio observations of the nearby supernova (SN) 2024ggi, a Type II SN discovered in NGC 3621 at a…

Extragalactic Multi-Band Exploration of Red Supergiants (EMBERS): Pipeline, Source Classification, and Bolometric Properties of 101,219 Red Supergiants from James Webb Space Telescope Imaging

Aswin Suresh, Charles D. Kilpatrick, Wen-fai Fong +6

The evolution of red supergiants (RSGs), especially in their final stages before exploding as hydrogen-rich Type II supernovae (SNe), remains poorly understood, owing to small samp…

Radio and X-ray Observations of the Transitional Supernova 2019yvr: Insights into the Progenitor Mass-Loss History

Raphael Baer-way, Raphael Baer-Way, Poonam Chandra +8

The final life stages of the massive star progenitors of stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) are still an open question, especially when it comes to the timing and magnitude of th…

SN 2022acko and the Properties of its Red Supergiant Progenitor: Direct Detection, Light Curves, and Nebular Spectroscopy

Gabriel Teixeira, Charlie D. Kilpatrick, Clécio R. Bom +12

We present ultraviolet, optical, and infrared observations of the Type II-P supernova SN 2022acko in NGC 1300, located at a distance of 19.0 +/- 2.9 Mpc. Our dataset spans 1-350 da…

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…

The Most Luminous Known Fast Blue Optical Transient AT 2024wpp: Unprecedented Evolution and Properties in the Ultraviolet to the Near-Infrared

Natalie LeBaron, Raffaella Margutti, Ryan Chornock +45

We present an extensive photometric and spectroscopic ultraviolet-optical-infrared campaign on the luminous fast blue optical transient (LFBOT) AT 2024wpp over the first ~100 d. AT…
