The peculiar Ca-rich SN 2019ehk: Evidence for a Type IIb core-collapse supernova from a low mass stripped progenitor

no code implementations4 Sep 2020 Kishalay De, U. Christoffer Fremling, Avishay Gal-Yam, Ofer Yaron, Mansi M. Kasliwal, S. R. Kulkarni

The presence of H, together with the large [Ca II]/[O I] ratio ($\approx10-15$) in the nebular phase is consistent with SN 2019ehk being a Type IIb core-collapse supernova from a stripped low mass ($\approx9-9. 5$ M$_\odot$) progenitor, similar to the Ca-rich SN IIb iPTF 15eqv.

Compiling transients in the literature with $t_\mathrm{rise} <5$d and $M_\mathrm{peak}<-20$mag, we find that a significant number are engine-powered, and suggest that the high peak optical luminosity is directly related to the presence of this engine.

AT2018cow: a luminous millimeter transient

1 code implementation25 Oct 2018 Anna Y. Q. Ho, E. Sterl Phinney, Vikram Ravi, S. R. Kulkarni, Glen Petitpas, Bjorn Emonts, Varun Bhalerao, Ray Blundell, S. Bradley Cenko, Dougal Dobie, Ryan Howie, Nikita Kamraj, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Tara Murphy, Daniel A. Perley, T. K. Sridharan, Ilsang Yoon

Regardless of the nature of this central engine, this source heralds a new class of energetic transients shocking a dense medium, which at early times are most readily observed at millimeter wavelengths.
