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

Raphael Baer-way, Poonam Chandra, Maryam Modjaz +7

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 Type II SN 2025pht in NGC 1637: A Red Supergiant with Carbon-rich Circumstellar Dust as the First JWST Detection of a Supernova Progenitor Star

Charles D. Kilpatrick, Aswin Suresh, Kyle W. Davis +7

We present follow-up imaging and spectroscopy and pre-explosion imaging of supernova (SN) 2025pht located in NGC 1637 at 12 Mpc. Our spectroscopy shows that SN 2025pht is a Type II…

Mid-Infrared Dust Evolution and Late-time Circumstellar Medium Interaction in SN 2017eaw

Jeniveve Pearson, Bhagya Subrayan, David J. Sand +24

We present JWST/MIRI and complementary ground-based near-infrared observations of the Type II SN 2017eaw taken 6 years post-explosion. SN 2017eaw is still detected out to 25 m a…
