No Surviving Companion to the Galactic SN 1181: Evidence for a Double-Degenerate Channel for Type Iax Supernovae
Kohki Uno, Daichi Tsuna, Daichi Hiramatsu +2
Type Iax supernovae (SNe Iax) are the recently-established, yet peculiar subclass of thermonuclear supernovae, whose progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms remain debated. A l…
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…
James Webb Space Telescope Observations of the Nearby and Precisely-Localized FRB 20250316A: A Potential Near-IR Counterpart and Implications for the Progenitors of Fast Radio Bursts
Peter K. Blanchard, Edo Berger, Shion E. Andrew +23
We present deep James Webb Space Telescope near-infrared imaging to search for a quiescent or transient counterpart to FRB 20250316A, which was precisely localized with the CHIME/F…
Spectropolarimetry of A Nuclear Transient AT2023clx: Revealing The Geometrical Alignment between The Transient Outflow and The Nuclear Dusty Region
Kohki Uno, Keiichi Maeda, Takashi Nagao +10
AT2023clx, which occurred in NGC3799 with a Low-Ionization Nuclear Emission-Line Region (LINER), is one of the most nearby nuclear transients classified as a tidal disruption event…
