ZTF SN Ia DR2 follow-up: early excess in Type Ia supernova light curves
Tomás E. Müller-Bravo, Tomás E. Müller-Bravo, Kate Maguire +17
There is broad consensus that Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are the thermonuclear explosions of C/O white dwarfs (WDs) in binary systems, but their progenitors and explosion mechanis…
The local ultraviolet signature of Type Ia supernova environments from HST and MUSE
LluÃs Galbany, Cullen Abelson, Alaa Alburai +17
(Abridged.) The local environment of a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) encodes information on progenitor age, star formation, dust, and chemical enrichment that may influence both its li…
An analysis of the Type Ia SN 2024gy and a comparison of different host extinction estimation techniques
Jacco H. Terwel, Kate Maguire, Cillian O'Donnell +38
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are well-known standardisable candles, and are one of the main ways to measure the distance to their host galaxies. However, extinction due to interstel…
ZTF SN Ia DR2 follow-up: Characterization of subluminous Type Ia supernovae in the ZTF DR2 full sample
Alaa Alburai, LluÃs Galbany, Umut Burgaz +19
The Zwicky Transient Facility Data Release 2 (ZTF DR2) includes a total of 3,628 Type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia), providing the largest and most complete sample of spectroscopically co…
The Type Ia Supernova 2021hem: A 2003fg-like Event in an Apparently Hostless Environment
Subhash Bose, M. D. Stritzinger, A. Malmgaard +25
We report observations of Type Ia SN 2021hem, located in an apparently hostless environment. With a peak absolute B-band magnitude of -19.96 mag, and a lack of secondary maximum in…
Rapid follow-up observations of infant supernovae with the Gran Telescopio Canarias
LluÃs Galbany, Claudia P. Gutiérrez, Lara Piscarreta +21
The first few hours of a supernova (SN) contain significant information about the progenitor system. The most modern wide-field surveys that scan the sky repeatedly every few days…
