Multi-epoch X-ray observations of SLSN-I 2018bsz support ejecta-CSM interaction as the dominant X-ray powering mechanism rather than a central magnetar.
Synthetic observables from tECSN models show slower early red-color decline due to higher Ti/Cr and a late-time 12.8 μm Ne II line that strengthens over time, unlike comparable CO deflagration models.
SN 2023aeaf is photometrically classified as a likely Type II supernova at z=3.195, consistent with a 12 solar mass progenitor and low-metallicity star-forming host.
A coupled magnetar–CSM hybrid model produces diverse SLSN light curves by letting the magnetar-driven shock overtake and dominate circumstellar interaction.
JWST spectra of SN 2022acko reveal CO masses of 1.55e-4 and 2.47e-4 solar masses, IME velocities ~300 km/s vs ~100 km/s for H/He/IGEs suggesting bipolar outflow, and substantially less molecule formation than higher-mass Type II SNe.
SN 2024abfl is a subluminous Type IIP event from a low-energy Fe-core collapse of a compact 9–10 M⊙ progenitor with only ~0.003 M⊙ of nickel.
Time-resolved spectroscopy reveals broad and narrow LPVs in O VI from WD J005311, linked to line-driven wind instabilities and an unstable RRM disk, plus a pseudo-periodic UV oscillation.
3D simulations find that the convective Urca process reduces mixing efficiency near the convective boundary in a simmering white dwarf but does not restrict the overall size of the convection zone, with the A=23 pair having the largest effect.
Late-time IR spectroscopy of SN 2024ggi shows varied line morphologies implying chemical inhomogeneity and aspherical ionization, with modeling favoring 12-15 solar mass progenitors but only high-mass energetic 3D simulations matching the observed Ni mixing extent.
SCAT DR1 delivers 1810 spectra of 1330 transients with classifications, fitted light curves, new redshifts for many host galaxies, and host properties as a testbed for photometric classification pipelines.
Long-term 3D CCSN simulations of a low-mass iron-core progenitor show NS wind and multi-isotope decay heating create large plumes, asymmetric breakout, reverse-shock fragmentation, and ECSN-like yields unlike Cas A.
ORACLE-2 multimodal classifiers raise macro F1 from 0.52-0.66 (light-curve only) to 0.73 on ZTF Bright Transient Survey data and reach 0.88 on simulated ELAsTiCC data.
Numerical simulations find that off-center carbon burning in accreting CO white dwarfs produces substantial Si and S abundances that depend on initial carbon content, supporting the double WD merger scenario for SN 2021yfj-like events.
Multi-wavelength observations of SN 2019vxm trace three phases of shock interaction in a Type IIn supernova, estimating CSM mass of 3-8 solar masses and ejecta mass of ~3.88 solar masses with late-time dust signatures.
The DECam Shadow Survey has detected variable LBV eruptions in AT2017des with peaks brightening by ~0.05 mag per year, reaching luminosities similar to extreme SN impostors.
VLA L-band polarization observations of SNR G7.7-3.7 show cocoon morphology from interaction with pre-existing circumstellar shells, with magnetic fields compressed along filaments and RM variations tracing massive progenitor winds.
A centered swept-back multipolar magnetic field up to octupole order reproduces the bolometric thermal X-ray light curve of MSP J0030+0451.
Energy-dependent electron escape in evolving supernova remnants produces log-parabola distributions whose photon spectra are consistent with observations of RX J1713.7-3946 and SN 1006.
Core-collapse supernova models including C-O shell mergers best match observed elemental ratios in Cas A, indicating mergers occur and contribute up to 20-30% of 44Ti outside the reverse shock.
SN 2025coe's double-peaked light curve and nebular spectra are consistent with either an asymmetric core-collapse explosion of a low-mass He-core progenitor or a thermonuclear hybrid white dwarf merger.
Larger supermassive black holes drive greater atmospheric heating, mass loss, and near-total ozone depletion on exoplanets, with effects strongest in energy-driven winds and closer to the galactic center.
New observations of SN 2024dy show carbon dust formation with mass ~10^{-5} M_sun inferred from NIR excess and asymmetric H-alpha profile in a long-lived Type IIn supernova.
EP260321a is identified as the faintest shock breakout X-ray transient associated with broad-lined Ic supernova SN 2026gzf, interpreted as originating from a mildly relativistic weak outflow choked inside the progenitor star.
