Core-Collapse Supernovae: Reflections and Directions [PDF]

open access: yesProgress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, 2012
Core-collapse supernovae are among the most fascinating phenomena in astrophysics and provide a formidable challenge for theoretical investigation. They mark the spectacular end of the lives of massive stars and, in an explosive eruption, release as much

Optical and Near-infrared Nebular-phase Spectroscopy of SN 2024ggi: Constraints on the Structure of the Inner Ejecta, Progenitor Mass, and Dust

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present optical and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic observations of the nearby Type II supernova SN 2024ggi ranging from 250 to 581 days after the explosion.

Hubble Space Telescope Deep Upper Limits Rule out a Surviving Massive Binary Companion to the Type Ic Supernova 2012fh

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Current explanations of the mass-loss mechanism for stripped-envelope supernovae (SNe) remain divided between single and binary progenitor systems. Here we obtain deep ultraviolet (UV) imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) of the Type Ic SN ...

On relative supernova rates and nucleosynthesis roles [PDF]

open access: yes
It is shown that the Ni-56-Fe-56 observed in SN 1987A argues that core collapse supernovae may be responsible for more that 50 percent of the iron in the galaxy.

The red supergiant and supernova rate problems: implications for core-collapse supernova physics

open access: yes, 2014
Mapping supernovae to their progenitors is fundamental to understanding the collapse of massive stars. We investigate the red supergiant problem, which concerns why red supergiants with masses $\sim16$-$30 M_\odot$ have not been identified as progenitors

Enabling Early Transient Discovery in LSST via Difference Imaging with DECam

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present SLIDE , a pipeline that enables transient discovery in data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), using archival images from the Dark Energy Camera as templates for difference imaging.
