abstract

We present observations of SN 2021csp, a unique supernova (SN) which displays evidence for interaction with H- and He- poor circumstellar material (CSM) at early times. Using high-cadence spectroscopy taken over the first week after explosion, we show that the spectra of SN 2021csp are dominated by C III lines with a velocity of 1800 km s$^{-1}$. We associate this emission with CSM lost by the progenitor prior to explosion. Subsequently, the SN displays narrow He lines before metamorphosing into a broad-lined Type Ic SN. We model the bolometric light curve of SN 2021csp, and show that it is consistent with the energetic ($4\times10^{51}$ erg) explosion of a stripped star, producing 0.4 M$_\odot$ of 56Ni within a $\sim$1 M$_\odot$ shell of CSM extending out to 400 R$_\odot$.

  1. The Evolution of Hypervelocity Supernova Survivors and the Outcomes of Interacting Double White Dwarf Binaries

    astro-ph.SR 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Cool hypervelocity supernova survivors are explained as low-mass, fully convective remnants cooling by Kelvin-Helmholtz contraction, implying about 2% of Type Ia supernovae eject such stars.

  2. The progenitors and circumstellar environments of stripped-envelope interacting supernovae from BPASS

    astro-ph.HE 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using BPASS, only binary progenitors whose mass loss forms a circum-binary disc reproduce the luminosities and rise times of stripped-envelope interacting supernovae.

  3. Towards high-precision inspiral gravitational waveforms from binary neutron star mergers in numerical relativity

    astro-ph.HE 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A fourth-order hydrodynamics solver in SACRA-MPI reduces binary neutron star inspiral gravitational-wave phase error at merger from about 0.58 to 0.27 radians, while measured convergence order stays near 2.1-2.4.

  4. The Hawaii Infrared Supernova Study (HISS): Spectroscopic Data Release 1

    astro-ph.HE 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    HISS DR1 releases 90 NIR spectra of 48 transients and demonstrates spectral analyses including unburnt carbon, nebular lines, CO, and He I diagnostics.

  5. Rapid follow-up observations of infant supernovae with the Gran Telescopio Canarias

    astro-ph.SR 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A GTC rapid-response program obtained spectra of 10 supernovae, only two of which were truly within 48h of first light, and forced photometry shows that survey nondetection limits systematically bias estimated explosi...

  6. SN 2024abvb: A Type Icn Supernova in the Outskirts of its Host Galaxy

    astro-ph.HE 2026-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    SN 2024abvb is a newly classified luminous Type Icn supernova whose fitted ejecta mass (~0.12 Msun) implies an extremely stripped progenitor.
