A Type Ia Supernova Candidate at : A Transient Interloper in the Search for Galaxies

Seiji Toshikage, Takahiro Morishita, Masaomi Tanaka +9

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is opening a new window into the distant Universe by discovering galaxies and transients in the early Universe. We investigate a high-redshift…

GRB 260310A/SN 2026fgk: Photometric and Spectroscopic Evolution of a Nearby GRB-Supernova and an Exceptionally Bright Afterglow at z=0.153

Brendan O'Connor, Malte Busmann, Xander J. Hall +24

The association of broad-lined Type Ic supernovae with long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been known for 28 years. However, only about seventy gamma-ray burst supernovae (GR…

Non-LTE Ionization Modeling for Helium and Strontium in Neutron Star Merger Ejecta

Koya Chiba, Masaomi Tanaka, Shinya Wanajo +3

The material ejected from a binary neutron star merger produces "kilonova," a radioactively powered emission at ultraviolet, optical, and infrared wavelengths. The early-phase spec…

Systematic Investigation into Radio Supernovae with Markov Chain Monte Carlo Analysis: Implications for Massive Stars' Mass Loss and Shock Acceleration Physics

Tomoki Matsuoka, Keiichi Maeda, Shigeo S. Kimura +1

We present a systematic analysis of radio supernovae (SNe) to investigate the statistical tendencies of SN progenitors' mass-loss rates and shock acceleration efficiencies. We cond…

The First Search for Optical Transient as a Counterpart of a Month-timescale IceCube Neutrino Multiplet Event

Seiji Toshikage, Shigeo S. Kimura, Nobuhiro Shimizu +4

Optical transients with timescale of months, such as supernovae (SNe) and tidal disruption events (TDEs), are candidates of high-energy neutrino sources. Multiple neutrino detectio…

Spectroscopic identification of r-process nucleosynthesis in a double neutron star merger

E. Pian, P. D'Avanzo, S. Benetti +81

The merger of two neutron stars is predicted to give rise to three major detectable phenomena: a short burst of gamma-rays, a gravitational wave signal, and a transient optical/nea…
