A seven-Earth-radius helium-burning star inside a 20.5-min detached binary
Jie Lin, Chengyuan Wu, Heran Xiong +28
Binary evolution theory predicts that the second common envelope (CE) ejection can produce low-mass (0.32-0.36 Msun) subdwarf B (sdB) stars inside ultrashort-orbital-period binary…
A Shock Flash Breaking Out of a Dusty Red Supergiant
Gaici Li, Maokai Hu, Wenxiong Li +41
Shock breakout emission is light that arises when a shockwave, generated by core-collapse explosion of a massive star, passes through its outer envelope. Hitherto, the earliest det…
The Dusty and Extremely Red Progenitor of the Type II Supernova 2023ixf in Messier 101
Danfeng Xiang, Jun Mo, Lingzhi Wang +4
Stars with initial masses in the range of 8-25 solar masses are thought to end their lives as hydrogen-rich supernovae (SNe II). Based on the pre-explosion images of Hubble Space T…
Circumstellar Material Ejected Violently by A Massive Star Immediately before its Death
Jujia Zhang, Han Lin, Xiaofeng Wang +7
Type II supernovae represent the most common stellar explosions in the Universe, for which the final stage evolution of their hydrogen-rich massive progenitors towards core-collaps…
Discovery of the Closest Ultrastripped Supernova: SN 2021agco in UGC 3855
Shengyu Yan, Xiaofeng Wang, Xing Gao +16
We present the discovery and studies of the helium-rich, fast-evolving supernova (SN) 2021agco at a distance of 40 Mpc. Its early-time flux is found to rise from half peak t…
SN 2022vqz: A Peculiar Subluminous Type Ia Supernova with Prominent Early Excess Emission
Gaobo Xi, Xiaofeng Wang, Gaici Li +22
We present extensive photometric and spectroscopic observations of the peculiar Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2022vqz. It shares many similarities with the SN 2002es-like SNe Ia, such…
