Observations and modeling of SN 2023vbw indicate it is a pair-instability supernova with ejecta mass 170-350 solar masses, nickel mass 1.2-1.6 solar masses, and explosion energy (6-13) x 10^52 erg.

Discovery of a gravitationally lensed Type II supernova at z=1.37 with magnification ≳100×, confirmed via multi-telescope spectra and imaging.
ELEPHANT flags hostless transients from ZTF alerts with 0.84 accuracy, confirming 67 genuine cases mostly as Type Ia supernovae from 877 candidates between 2023 and 2025.
SN 2025ngs is a short-plateau supernova resembling SN 1998S but fainter, with spectral evidence for interaction with a proximate ring-like circumstellar medium around a supergiant progenitor.
SN 2020lao reached a specific kinetic energy of 5-7 x 10^51 erg per solar mass typical of engine-driven events yet showed no afterglow or excess emission, implying any jet was off-axis, choked, or absent.
