Dust Without Na I D Trace: The Case of Highly Attenuated Type Ib SN 2024vjc
Javier Silva-Farfán, Keiichi Maeda, Andrea Pastorello +19
Understanding dust attenuation toward extragalactic transients is critical for recovering their intrinsic properties and probing the local environments of distant galaxies. A popul…
Late-time evolution of the interacting stripped-envelope supernova 2017dio
C. Humina, C. P. Gutiérrez, C. P. Gutiérrez +16
The discovery of stripped-envelope supernovae (SNe) interacting with dense circumstellar medium (CSM) challenges our current understanding of massive star evolution. We present lat…
Peculiar SN Ic 2022esa: An explosion of a massive Wolf-Rayet star in a binary as a precursor to a BH-BH binary?
Keiichi Maeda, Hanindyo Kuncarayakti, Takashi Nagao +4
A class of supernovae (SNe) termed `SN Ic-CSM' are characterized by late-time emergence of narrow emission lines of elements formed in the oxygen core of a massive star. A popular…
Formation of circumstellar material during double-white-dwarf mergers and the early excess emissions in Type Ia supernovae
Yusuke Inoue, Keiichi Maeda, Takashi Nagao +1
Early excess emission observed in Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) within day of explosion provides a critical window into their progenitor systems. In the present study, we inv…
SN 2023gpw: exploring the diversity and power sources of hydrogen-rich superluminous supernovae
Tuomas Kangas, Panos Charalampopoulos, Takashi Nagao +18
We present our observations and analysis of SN 2023gpw, a hydrogen-rich superluminous supernova (SLSN II) with broad emission lines in its post-peak spectra. Unlike previously obse…
Infrared observations reveal the reprocessing envelope in the tidal disruption event AT 2019azh
Thomas M. Reynolds, Lars Thomsen, Seppo Mattila +14
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are expected to release much of their energy in the far-ultraviolet (UV), which we do not observe directly. However, infrared (IR) observations can o…
