Ítem Close, bright, and boxy: the superluminous SN 2018hti(Oxford University Press, 2022-05-01) Fiore, A.; Benetti, S.; Nicholl, M.; Reguitti, A.; Cappellaro, E.; Campana, S.; Bose, S.; Paraskeva, E.; Berger, E.; Bravo, T.M.; Burke, J.; Cai, Y.-Z.; Chen, T.-W.; Chen, P.; Ciolfi, R.; Dong, S.; Gomez, S.; Gromadzki, M.; Gutiérrez, C.P.; Hiramatsu, D.; Hosseinzadeh, G.; Howell, D.A.; Jerkstrand, A.; Kankare, E.; Kozyreva, A.; Maguire, K.; McCully, C.; Ochner, P.; Pellegrino, C.; Pignata, G.; Post, R.S.; Elias-Rosa, N.; Shahbandeh, M.; Schuldt, S.; Thomas, B.P.; Tomasella, L.; Vinkó, J.; Vogl, C.; Wheeler, J.C.; Young, D.R.SN 2018hti was a very nearby (z = 0.0614) superluminous supernova with an exceedingly bright absolute magnitude of -21.7 mag in r band at maximum. The densely sampled pre-maximum light curves of SN 2018hti show a slow luminosity evolution and constrain the rise time to ∼50 rest-frame d. We fitted synthetic light curves to the photometry to infer the physical parameters of the explosion of SN 2018hti for both the magnetar and the CSM-interaction scenarios. We conclude that one of two mechanisms could be powering the luminosity of SN 2018hti; interaction with ∼10 M⊙ of circumstellar material or a magnetar with a magnetic field of Bp∼1.3 × 1013 G, and initial period of Pspin∼1.8 ms. From the nebular spectrum modelling we infer that SN 2018hti likely results from the explosion of a ∼40M⊙ progenitor star. © 2022 The Author(s) Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Royal Astronomical Society.Ítem Forbidden hugs in pandemic times: III. Observations of the luminous red nova AT 2021biy in the nearby galaxy NGC 4631(EDP Sciences, 2022-11-01) Cai, Y.-Z.; Pastorello, A.; Fraser, M.; Wang, X.-F.; Filippenko, A.V.; Reguitti, A.; Patra, K.C.; Goranskij, V.P.; Barsukova, E.A.; Brink, T.G.; Elias-Rosa, N.; Stevance, H.F.; Zheng, W.; Yang, Y.; Atapin, K.E.; Benetti, S.; De Boer, T.J.L.; Bose, S.; Burke, J.; Byrne, R.; Cappellaro, E.; Chambers, K.C.; Chen, W.-L.; Emami, N.; Gao, H.; Hiramatsu, D.; Howell, D.A.; Huber, M.E.; Kankare, E.; Kelly, P.L.; Kotak, R.; Kravtsov, T.; Lander, V.

The field of the object was routinely imaged during the pre-eruptive stage by synoptic surveys, but the transient was detected only at a few epochs from ∼231 days before maximum brightness. The LRN outburst was monitored with unprecedented cadence both photometrically and spectroscopically. AT 2021biy shows a short-duration blue peak, with a bolometric luminosity of ∼1.6×1041 erg s-1, followed by the longest plateau among LRNe to date, with a duration of 210 days. A late-time hump in the light curve was also observed, possibly produced by a shell-shell collision. AT 2021biy exhibits the typical spectral evolution of LRNe. Early-time spectra are characterised by a blue continuum and prominent H emission lines. Then, the continuum becomes redder, resembling that of a K-type star with a forest of metal absorption lines during the plateau phase. Finally, late-time spectra show a very red continuum (TBB ≈ 2050 K) with molecular features (e.g., TiO) resembling those of M-type stars. Spectropolarimetric analysis indicates that AT 2021biy has local dust properties similar to those of V838 Mon in the Milky Way Galaxy. Inspection of archival Hubble Space Telescope data taken on 2003 August 3 reveals a ∼20 M⊗ progenitor candidate with log (L/L⊗) = 5.0 dex and Teff 5900 K at solar metallicity. The above luminosity and colour match those of a luminous yellow supergiant. Most likely, this source is a close binary, with a 17-24 M⊗ primary component. © Y.-Z.

Padilla; Paraskeva, E.; Pastorello, A.; Pellegrino, C.; Pessi, P.J.; Reguitti, A.; Reynolds, T.M.; Roy, R.; Terreran, G.; Tomasella, L.; Young, D.R.The ultraviolet (UV) and near-infrared (NIR) photometric and optical spectroscopic observations of SN 2020acat covering ∼250 d after explosion are presented here. Using the fast rising photometric observations, spanning from the UV to NIR wavelengths, a pseudo-bolometric light curve was constructed and compared to several other well-observed Type IIb supernovae (SNe IIb). SN 2020acat displayed a very short rise time reaching a peak luminosity of Log10(L) = 42.49 ± 0.17 erg s-1 in only ∼14.6 ± 0.3 d. From modelling of the pseudo-bolometric light curve, we estimated a total mass of 56Ni synthesized by SN 2020acat of MNi = 0.13 ± 0.03 M⊙, with an ejecta mass of Mej = 2.3 ± 0.4 M⊙ and a kinetic energy of Ek = 1.2 ± 0.3 × 1051 erg. The optical spectra of SN 2020acat display hydrogen signatures well into the transitional period (≳ 100 d), between the photospheric and the nebular phases. The spectra also display a strong feature around 4900 Å that cannot be solely accounted for by the presence of the Fe ii 5018 line. We suggest that the Fe ii feature was augmented by He i 5016 and possibly by the presence of N ii 5005. From both photometric and spectroscopic analysis, we inferred that the progenitor of SN 2020acat was an intermediate-mass compact star with an MZAMS of 15-20 M⊙. © 2022 The Author(s).Ítem The double-peaked Type Ic supernova 2019cad: another SN 2005bf-like object(Oxford University Press, 2021-04) Gutierrez, C. P; Bersten, M. C.; Orellana, M; Pastorello, A.; Ertini, K.; Folatelli, G.; Pignata, G.; Anderson, J.P.; Smartt, S.; Sullivan, M.; Pursiainen, M.; Inserra, C.; Elias-Rosa, N.; Fraser, M.; Kankare, E.; Moran, S.; Reguitti, A.; Reynolds, T.M; Stritzinger, M.; Burke, J.; Frohmaier, C.; Galbany, L.; Hiramatsu, D.; Howell, D. A.; Kuncarayakti, H.; Mattila, S.; Muller-Bravo, T.; Pellegrino, C.; Smith, M.We present the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of supernova (SN) 2019cad during the first ∼100 d from explosion. Based on the light-curve morphology, we find that SN 2019cad resembles the double-peaked Type Ib/c SN 2005bf and the Type Ic PTF11mnb. Unlike those two objects, SN 2019cad also shows the initial peak in the redder bands. Inspection of the g-band light curve indicates the initial peak is reached in ∼8 d, while the r-band peak occurred ∼15 d post-explosion. A second and more prominent peak is reached in all bands at ∼45 d past explosion, followed by a fast decline from ∼60 d. During the first 30 d, the spectra of SN 2019cad show the typical features of a Type Ic SN, however, after 40 d, a blue continuum with prominent lines of Si II λ6355 and CII λ6580 is observed again. Comparing the bolometric light curve to hydrodynamical models, we find that SN 2019cad is consistent with a pre-SN mass of 11 M, and an explosion energy of 3.5 × 1051 erg. The light-curve morphology can be reproduced either by a double-peaked 56Ni distribution with an external component of 0.041 M, and an internal component of 0.3 M or a double-peaked 56Ni distribution plus magnetar model (P ∼ 11 ms and B ∼ 26 × 1014 G). If SN 2019cad were to suffer from significant host reddening (which cannot be ruled out), the 56Ni model would require extreme values, while the magnetar model would still be feasible
