The prevalence and influence of circumstellar material around hydrogen-rich supernova progenitors

Rachel J. Bruch, Avishay Gal-Yam, Ofer Yaron +44

Narrow transient emission lines (flash-ionization features) in early supernova (SN) spectra trace the presence of circumstellar material (CSM) around the massive progenitor stars o…

Supernova 2020wnt: An Atypical Superluminous Supernova with a Hidden Central Engine

Samaporn Tinyanont, Stan E. Woosley, Kirsty Taggart +34

We present observations of a peculiar hydrogen- and helium-poor stripped-envelope (SE) supernova (SN) 2020wnt, primarily in the optical and near-infrared (near-IR). Its peak absolu…

The Final Season Reimagined: 30 Tidal Disruption Events from the ZTF-I Survey

Erica Hammerstein, Sjoert van Velzen, Suvi Gezari +30

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) offer a unique way to study dormant black holes. While the number of observed TDEs has grown thanks to the emergence of wide-field surveys in the pas…
