Spectroscopy of AT 2016blu's recurring supernova impostor outbursts
Mojgan Aghakhanloo, Nathan Smith, Jennifer E. Andrews +7
We present spectra of the supernova (SN) impostor AT 2016blu spanning over a decade. This transient exhibits quasiperiodic outbursts with a 113 d period, likely triggered by…
A Multiwavelength Autopsy of the Interacting IIn Supernova 2020ywx: Tracing its Progenitor Mass-Loss History for 100 Years before Death
Raphael Baer-Way, Poonam Chandra, Maryam Modjaz +31
While the subclass of interacting supernovae with narrow hydrogen emission lines (SNe IIn) consists of some of the longest-lasting and brightest SNe ever discovered, their progenit…
Rubin ToO 2024: Envisioning the Vera C. Rubin Observatory LSST Target of Opportunity program
Igor Andreoni, Raffaella Margutti, John Banovetz +86
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) at Vera C. Rubin Observatory is planned to begin in the Fall of 2025. The LSST survey cadence has been designed via a community-driven pr…
Luminous Type II Short-Plateau SN 2023ufx: Asymmetric Explosion of a Partially-Stripped Massive Progenitor
Aravind P. Ravi, Stefano Valenti, Yize Dong +34
We present supernova (SN) 2023ufx, a unique Type IIP SN with the shortest known plateau duration ( 47 days), a luminous V-band peak ( = 18.42 0…
Asymmetries and Circumstellar Interaction in the Type II SN 2024bch
Jennifer E. Andrews, Manisha Shrestha, K. Azalee Bostroem +29
We present a comprehensive multi-epoch photometric and spectroscopic study of SN 2024bch, a nearby (19.9 Mpc) Type II supernova (SN) with prominent early high ionization emission l…
Spectropolarimetry of SN 2023ixf reveals both circumstellar material and helium core to be aspherical
Manisha Shrestha, Sabrina DeSoto, David J. Sand +33
We present multi-epoch optical spectropolarimetric and imaging polarimetric observations of the nearby Type II supernova (SN) 2023ixf discovered in M101 at a distance of 6.85 Mpc.…
Circumstellar Interaction in the Ultraviolet Spectra of SN 2023ixf 14-66 Days After Explosion
K. Azalee Bostroem, David J. Sand, Luc Dessart +20
SN 2023ixf was discovered in M101 within a day of explosion and rapidly classified as a Type II supernova with flash features. Here we present ultraviolet (UV) spectra obtained wit…
Spectral dataset of young type Ib supernovae and their time evolution
N. Yesmin, C. Pellegrino, M. Modjaz +11
Due to high-cadence automated surveys, we can now detect and classify supernovae (SNe) within a few days after explosion, if not earlier. Early-time spectra of young SNe directly p…
One Year of SN 2023ixf: Breaking Through the Degenerate Parameter Space in Light-Curve Models with Pulsating Progenitors
Brian Hsu, Nathan Smith, Jared A. Goldberg +21
We present and analyze the extensive optical broadband photometry of the Type II SN 2023ixf up to one year after explosion. We find that, when compared to two pre-existing model gr…
The Type I Superluminous Supernova Catalog I: Light Curve Properties, Models, and Catalog Description
Sebastian Gomez, Matt Nicholl, Edo Berger +25
We present the most comprehensive catalog to date of Type I Superluminous Supernovae (SLSNe), a class of stripped envelope supernovae (SNe) characterized by exceptionally high lumi…
Mapping the Inner 0.1 pc of a Supermassive Black Hole Environment with the Tidal Disruption Event and Extreme Coronal Line Emitter AT 2022upj
Megan Newsome, Iair Arcavi, D. Andrew Howell +10
Extreme coronal line emitters (ECLEs) are objects showing transient high-ionization lines in the centers of galaxies. They have been attributed to echoes of high-energy flares of i…
