Low-Luminosity Type IIP Supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe. I: Luminosity Function, Volumetric Rate

Kaustav K. Das, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Christoffer Fremling +51

We present the luminosity function and volumetric rate of a sample of Type IIP supernovae (SNe) from the Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe survey (CLU). This i…

Disappearance of a massive star in the Andromeda Galaxy due to formation of a black hole

Kishalay De, Morgan MacLeod, Jacob E. Jencson +11

When a massive star reaches the end of its lifetime, its core collapses and releases neutrinos that drive a shock into the outer layers (stellar envelope). A sufficiently strong sh…

Optical and Radio Analysis of Systematically Classified Broad-lined Type Ic Supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility

Gokul P. Srinivasaragavan, Sheng Yang, Shreya Anand +35

We study a magnitude-limited sample of 36 Broad-lined Type Ic Supernovae (SNe Ic-BL) from the Zwicky Transient Facility Bright Transient Survey (detected between March 2018 and Aug…

SN 2023zaw: an ultra-stripped, nickel-poor supernova from a low-mass progenitor

Kaustav K. Das, Christoffer Fremling, Mansi M. Kasliwal +34

We present SN 2023zaw a sub-luminous ( mag) and rapidly-evolving supernova ( days), with the lowest nickel mass (

Lightcurve and spectral modelling of the Type IIb SN 2020acat. Evidence for a strong Ni bubble effect on the diffusion time

Mattias Ergon, Peter Lundqvist, Claes Fransson +10

We use the light curve and spectral synthesis code JEKYLL to calculate a set of macroscopically mixed Type IIb supernova (SN) models, which are compared to both previously publishe…

A lanthanide-rich kilonova in the aftermath of a long gamma-ray burst

Yu-Han Yang, Eleonora Troja, Brendan O'Connor +24

Kilonovae are a rare class of astrophysical transients powered by the radioactive decay of nuclei heavier than iron, synthesized in the merger of two compact objects. Over the firs…
