JWST Observations of SN 2023ixf. I. Completing the Early Multiwavelength Picture with Plateau-phase Spectroscopy

The Astrophysical Journal
We present and analyze panchromatic (0.35–14 μ m) spectroscopy of the Type II supernova 2023ixf, including near- and mid-infrared spectra obtained 33.6 days after explosion during the plateau phase, with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This is the

SN 2023ixf in Messier 101: The Twilight Years of the Progenitor as Seen by Pan-STARRS

The Astrophysical Journal
The nearby type II supernova, SN 2023ixf in M101 exhibits signatures of early time interaction with circumstellar material in the first week postexplosion. This material may be the consequence of prior mass loss suffered by the progenitor, which possibly

Final Moments. II. Observational Properties and Physical Modeling of Circumstellar-material-interacting Type II Supernovae

The Astrophysical Journal
We present ultraviolet/optical/near-infrared observations and modeling of Type II supernovae (SNe II) whose early time ( δ t < 2 days) spectra show transient, narrow emission lines from shock ionization of confined ( r < 10 ^15 cm) circumstellar material

A 3D Simulation of a Type II-P Supernova: From Core Bounce to beyond Shock Breakout

The Astrophysical Journal
In order to better connect core-collapse supernova (CCSN) theory with its observational signatures, we have developed a simulation pipeline from the onset of the core collapse to beyond shock breakout from the stellar envelope.

Unveiling the progenitor of SN 2023ixf: Circumstellar dust and its implications for the red supergiant problem

Astronomy & Astrophysics
The nearby Type II supernova SN 2023ixf offers a critical test of the long-standing ‘red supergiant problem’ – the apparent absence of high-mass red-supergiant progenitors in pre-explosion imaging.

Dramatic Rebrightening of the Type-changing Stripped-envelope Supernova SN 2023aew

The Astrophysical Journal
Multipeaked supernovae with precursors, dramatic light-curve rebrightenings, and spectral transformation are rare, but are being discovered in increasing numbers by modern night-sky transient surveys like the Zwicky Transient Facility.

Unravelling the Asphericities in the Explosion and Multifaceted Circumstellar Matter of SN 2023ixf

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a detailed investigation of photometric, spectroscopic, and polarimetric observations of the Type II SN 2023ixf. Earlier studies have provided compelling evidence for a delayed shock breakout from a confined dense circumstellar matter (CSM ...

NEOWISE-R Caught the Luminous SN 2023ixf in Messier 101

The Astrophysical Journal
During routine survey imaging, the reactivated Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE-R) serendipitously caught the Type II supernova SN 2023ixf in Messier 101 on the rise, starting day 3.6 through day 10.9, and again on the ...
