Shock cooling emission from late-time mass loss in low-mass He star binaries
Samantha C. Wu, Anthony L. Piro
A subset of hydrogen-poor supernovae (SNe) exhibit signatures of interaction with nearby dense circumstellar material (CSM). These SNe may originate from interacting binary systems…
Implications of the UV/optical Plateau of AT2018cow
Wenbin Lu, Anthony L. Piro
AT2018cow, the prototypical luminous fast blue optical transient (LFBOT), shows a slowly fading plateau in the UV/optical light lasting at least 5 years after the explosion. The pl…
The Light Curve of Wind-Reprocessed Tidal Disruption Events
Brenna Mockler, David Khatami, Daniel Kasen +2
The source of the optical/UV emission in tidal disruption events (TDEs) remains an enduring question in the field. Connecting the observed emission to the source is critical for bo…
SN 2024iss: A Multi-Wavelength Exposé of a Type IIb Supernova with an Early-Time Ultraviolet Spectrum and Shock Breakout Constraints
Rujula Yete, Wynn Jacobson-Galan, Ferdinand Ferdinand +49
We present multi-wavelength observations and a comprehensive analysis of the nearby (D14 Mpc) Type IIb supernova (SN IIb) 2024iss. Observations of SN2024iss include an early…
Thermal Evolution of the Central Star in Pa 30
Anthony L. Piro, Yossef Zenati, Tin Long Sunny Wong
Pa 30 has been identified as the nebular remnant of the historical SN 1181. It is host to a hot () central star (WD J005311) with a fast wind ($\approx16,0…
UV and Optical Signatures of Late-time Disk Instabilities in Tidal Disruption Events
Daichi Tsuna, V. Ashley Villar, Anthony L. Piro +1
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are unique probes of evolving accretion in supermassive black holes. Recent models of TDE disks show that they undergo brief thermal instabilities wi…
