We show that it retained a very thin H envelope and transitioned from an SN IIb to an SN Ib; prominent Hα seen in the pre-maximum phase diminishes toward the post-maximum phase, while He i lines show increasing strength. SYNAPPS modeling of the early spectra of SN 2022crv suggests that the absorption feature at 6200 Å is explained by a substantial contribution of Hα together with Si ii, as is also supported by the velocity evolution of Hα. The light-curve evolution is consistent with the canonical stripped-envelope SN subclass but among the slowest. The light curve lacks the initial cooling phase and shows a bright main peak (peak M V = −17.82 ± 0.17 mag), mostly driven by radioactive decay of 56Ni. The light-curve analysis suggests a thin outer H envelope (M env ∼ 0.05 M ⊙) and a compact progenitor (R env ∼ 3 R ⊙). An interaction-powered synchrotron self-absorption model can reproduce the radio light curves with a mean shock velocity of 0.1c. The mass-loss rate is estimated to be in the range of (1.9−2.8) × 10−5 M ⊙ yr−1 for an assumed wind velocity of 1000 km s−1, which is on the high end in comparison with other compact SNe IIb/Ib. SN 2022crv fills a previously unoccupied parameter space of a very compact progenitor, representing a beautiful continuity between the compact and extended progenitor scenario of SNe IIb/Ib.enSupernovaeLight CurveWolf-Rayet StarsArtículoCC BY 4.0 DEED Attribution 4.0 International10.3847/1538-4357/acfa94
