AT 2016blu: Accretion-Powered Outbursts in a Luminous Blue Variable and Compact Object Binary

Mojgan Aghakhanloo, Núria Torres-Albà, Nathan Smith +33

We present the first X-ray detection of the supernova (SN) impostor AT 2016blu in NGC 4559. AT 2016blu exhibited 27 detected quasiperiodic (~113 day) outbursts between 2012 and Jun…

No Evidence for Nearby Circumstellar Material in the Type Ia Supernova 2025rbs

Aravind P. Ravi, Griffin Hosseinzadeh, Stefano Valenti +28

We present a high-resolution spectral time series of the Type Ia supernova (SN) 2025rbs discovered in the nearby galaxy NGC 7331. The Automated Planet Finder (APF) at Lick Observat…

JWST Spectroscopy of Type Ia Supernova 2025rbs from Maximum Light to the Nebular Phase

Lindsey A. Kwok, Stéphane Blondin, Adam A. Miller +53

We present JWST observations of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2025rbs (14.5 Mpc) at +1, +23, and +84 days after B-band maximum, spanning peak light through a wavelength-depende…

SN 2022erq: A Superluminous Thermonuclear Supernova with Escalating Preexplosion Mass Loss

Qian Zhai, Jujia Zhang, Xiaofeng Wang +51

We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the superluminous Type Ia supernova SN 2022erq. Its early spectra, dominated by iron-group elements with weak intermediate-mass…

Ultraviolet to Infrared Spectroscopy of the Type Ibn SN 2023tsz Suggests a Lower-mass Progenitor

Sergiy S. Vasylyev, Griffin Hosseinzadeh, Luc Dessart +42

Type Ibn supernovae are stripped-envelope explosions whose spectra indicate interaction with dense, helium-rich and hydrogen-poor circumstellar material (CSM), making them importan…

X-rays breaking out of pre-explosion ejecta mark a supernova's first light

Weimin Yuan, Qiu-Ju Huang, Jin-Ping Zhu +130

Massive stars die as core-collapse supernovae, whose optical light emerges days after the implosion. Theory predicts that the initial collapse-driven shock, upon breaking through t…
