Ítem Forbidden hugs in pandemic times: IV. Panchromatic evolution of three luminous red novae(EDP Sciences, 2023-03) Pastorello A.; Valerin G.; Fraser M.; Reguitti A.; Elias-Rosa N.; Filippenko A.V.; Rojas-Bravo C.; Tartaglia L.; Reynolds T.M.; Valenti S.; Andrews J.E.; Ashall C.; Bostroem K.A.; Brink T.G.; Burke J.; Cai Y.-Z.; Cappellaro E.; Coulter D.A.; Dastidar R.; Davis K.W.; Dimitriadis G.; Fiore A.; Foley R.J.; Fugazza D.; Galbany L.; Gangopadhyay A.; Geier S.; Gutiérrez C.P.; Haislip J.; Hiramatsu D.; Holmbo S.; Howell D.A.; Hsiao E.Y.; Hung T.; Jha S.W.; Kankare E.; Karamehmetoglu E.; Kilpatrick C.D.; Kotak R.; Kouprianov V.; Kravtsov T.; Kumar S.; Li Z.-T.; Lundquist M.J.; Lundqvist P.; Matilainen K.; Mazzali P.A.; McCully C.; Misra K.; Morales-Garoffolo A.; Moran S.; Morrell N.; Newsome M.; Padilla Gonzalez E.; Pan Y.-C.; Pellegrino C.; Phillips M.M.; Pignata G.; Piro A.L.; Reichart D.E.; Rest A.; Salmaso I.; Sand D.J.; Siebert M.R.; Smartt S.J.; Smith K.W.; Srivastav S.; Stritzinger M.D.; Taggart K.; Tinyanont S.; Yan S.-Y.; Wang L.; Wang X.-F.; Williams S.C.; Wyatt S.; Zhang T.-M.; De Boer T.; Chambers K.; Gao H.; Magnier E.We present photometric and spectroscopic data on three extragalactic luminous red novae (LRNe): AT 2018bwo, AT 2021afy, and AT 2021blu. AT 2018bwo was discovered in NGC 45 (at about 6.8 Mpc) a few weeks after the outburst onset. During the monitoring period, the transient reached a peak luminosity of 1040 erg s1. AT 2021afy, hosted by UGC 10043 (49.2 Mpc), showed a double-peaked light curve, with the two peaks reaching a similar luminosity of 2.1(±0.6) - 1041 erg s1. Finally, for AT 2021blu in UGC 5829 (∼8.6 Mpc), the pre-outburst phase was well-monitored by several photometric surveys, and the object showed a slow luminosity rise before the outburst. The light curve of AT 2021blu was sampled with an unprecedented cadence until the object disappeared behind the Sun, and it was then recovered at late phases. The light curve of LRN AT 2021blu shows a double peak, with a prominent early maximum reaching a luminosity of 6.5 - 1040 erg s1, which is half of that of AT 2021afy. The spectra of AT 2021afy and AT 2021blu display the expected evolution for LRNe: a blue continuum dominated by prominent Balmer lines in emission during the first peak, and a redder continuum consistent with that of a K-type star with narrow absorption metal lines during the second, broad maximum. The spectra of AT 2018bwo are markedly different, with a very red continuum dominated by broad molecular features in absorption. As these spectra closely resemble those of LRNe after the second peak, AT 2018bwo was probably discovered at the very late evolutionary stages. This would explain its fast evolution and the spectral properties compatible with that of an M-type star. From the analysis of deep frames of the LRN sites years before the outburst, and considerations of the light curves, the quiescent progenitor systems of the three LRNe were likely massive, with primaries ranging from about 13 M for AT 2018bwo, to 141+4 M⊙ for AT 2021blu, and over 40 M for AT 2021afy. © 2023 The Authors.Ítem Optical and near-infrared observations of the nearby SN Ia 2017cbv(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020-11) Wang L.; Contreras C.; Hu M.; Hamuy M.A.; Hsiao E.Y.; Sand D.J.; Anderson J.P.; Ashall C.; Burns C.R.; Chen J.; Diamond T.R.; Davis S.; Förster F.; Galbany L.; González-Gaitán S.; Gromadzki M.; Hoeflich P.; Li W.; Marion G.H.; Morrell N.; Pignata G.; Prieto J.L.; Phillips M.M.; Shahbandeh M.; Suntzeff N.B.; Valenti S.; Wang L.; Wang X.; Young D.R.; Yu L.; Zhang J.Supernova (SN) 2017cbv in NGC 5643 is one of a handful of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) reported to have excess blue emission at early times. This paper presents extensive BVRIYJHKs-band light curves of SN 2017cbv, covering the phase from -16 to +125 days relative to B-band maximum light. The SN 2017cbv reached a B-band maximum of 11.710 ± 0.006mag, with a postmaximum magnitude decline of Δm15(B) = 0.990 ± 0.013 mag. The SN suffered no host reddening based on Phillips intrinsic color, the Lira-Phillips relation, and the CMAGIC diagram. By employing the CMAGIC distance modulus μ = 30.58 ± 0.05 mag and assuming H0 = 72 km s-1 Mpc-1, we found that 0.73M⊙ 56Ni was synthesized during the explosion of SN 2017cbv, which is consistent with estimates using reddening- and distance-free methods via the phases of the secondary maximum of the near-IR- (NIR-) band light curves. We also present 14 NIR spectra from -18 to +49 days relative to the B-band maximum light, providing constraints on the amount of swept-up hydrogen from the companion star in the context of the single degenerate progenitor scenario. No Paβ emission feature was detected from our postmaximum NIR spectra, placing a hydrogen mass upper limit of 0.1 M⊙. The overall optical/NIR photometric and NIR spectral evolution of SN 2017cbv is similar to that of a normal SN Ia, even though its early evolution is marked by a flux excess not seen in most other wellobserved normal SNe Ia. We also compare the exquisite light curves of SN 2017cbv with some Mch delayed detonation models and sub-Mch double detonation models. © 2020.

SN 2017gmr does not show signs of narrow, high-ionization emission lines in the early optical spectra, yet the optical light-curve evolution suggests that an extra energy source from circumstellar medium (CSM) interaction must be present for at least 2 days after explosion. Modeling of the early light curve indicates a ∼500 R o progenitor radius, consistent with a rather compact red supergiant, and late-time luminosities indicate that up to 0.130 ± 0.026 M o of 56Ni are present, if the light curve is solely powered by radioactive decay, although the 56Ni mass may be lower if CSM interaction contributes to the post-plateau luminosity. Prominent multipeaked emission lines of Hα and [O i] emerge after day 154, as a result of either an asymmetric explosion or asymmetries in the CSM. The lack of narrow lines within the first 2 days of explosion in the likely presence of CSM interaction may be an example of close, dense, asymmetric CSM that is quickly enveloped by the spherical supernova ejecta.
