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
Observationally, Kilonovae are astrophysical transients powered by the radioactive decay of nuclei heavier than iron, synthesized in the merger of two compact objects. Over the fir…
Gaia21bty: An EXor lightcurve exhibiting an FUor spectrum
Michał Siwak, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Ágnes Kóspál +16
Gaia21bty, a pre-main sequence star that previously had shown aperiodic dips in its light curve, underwent a considerable mag brightening that occurred over a few mo…
From Discovery to the First Month of the Type II Supernova 2023ixf: High and Variable Mass Loss in the Final Year before Explosion
Daichi Hiramatsu, Daichi Tsuna, Edo Berger +22
We present the discovery of the Type II supernova SN 2023ixf in M101 and follow-up photometric and spectroscopic observations, respectively, in the first month and week of its evol…
Probing pre-supernova mass loss in double-peaked Type Ibc supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility
Kaustav K. Das, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Jesper Sollerman +34
Eruptive mass loss of massive stars prior to supernova (SN) explosion is key to understanding their evolution and end fate. An observational signature of pre-SN mass loss is the de…
Long-rising Type II Supernovae in the Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe
Tawny Sit, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Anastasios Tzanidakis +25
SN 1987A was an unusual hydrogen-rich core-collapse supernova originating from a blue supergiant star. Similar blue supergiant explosions remain a small family of events, and are b…
