Binary progenitor systems for Type Ic supernovae [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsCore-collapse supernovae are explosions of massive stars at the end of their evolution. They are responsible for metal production and for halting star formation, having a significant impact on galaxy evolution.

The Iron Yield of Core-collapse Supernovae
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a systematic analysis of 191 stripped-envelope supernovae (SE SNe), aimed at computing their ^56 Ni masses from the luminosity in their radioactive tails ( ${M}_{\mathrm{Ni}}^{\mathrm{tail}}$ ) and/or in their maximum light, and the mean ^56 ...

Possible Detection of the Progenitor of the Type II Supernova SN 2023ixf
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Stellar evolution theory predicts multiple pathways to the explosive deaths of stars as supernovae. Locating and characterizing the progenitors of well-studied supernovae is important to constrain the theory and to justify and design future surveys to ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Previous numerical simulations of double-peaked Type IIb supernova (SN IIb) light curves have demonstrated that the radius and mass of the hydrogen-rich envelope of the progenitor star can significantly influence the brightness and timescale of the early-

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We analyze a sample of 45 Type II supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility public survey using a grid of hydrodynamical models in order to assess whether theoretically driven forecasts can intelligently guide follow-up observations supporting all ...

SN 2018gk Revisited: the Photosphere, the Central Engine, and the Putative Dust
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We perform a comprehensive study of the physical properties of SN 2018gk, which is a luminous Type IIb supernova (SN). We find that the early-time photospheric velocity varies from a larger value to a smaller one before the photosphere reaches a ...

JWST Imaging of the Cartwheel Galaxy Reveals Dust Associated with SN 2021afdx
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We present near- and mid-infrared (0.9–18 μ m) photometry of supernova (SN) 2021afdx, which was imaged serendipitously with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as part of its Early Release Observations of the Cartwheel Galaxy.

The Dusty Red Supergiant Progenitor and the Local Environment of the Type II SN 2023ixf in M101
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 As one of the closest supernovae (SNe) in the last decade, SN 2023ixf is an unprecedented target to investigate the progenitor star that exploded. However, there is still significant uncertainty in the reported progenitor properties.
