The red supergiant progenitor luminosity problem

ER Beasor, N Smith, JE Jencson - The Astrophysical Journal, 2025 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract Analysis of pre-explosion imaging has confirmed red supergiants (RSGs) as the

Red supergiants may lose significant mass through steady winds and episodic eruptions in
the final 100-1000 years before the core collapses, shaping their circumstellar environment …

High-energy gamma-ray and neutrino emissions from interacting supernovae based on radiation hydrodynamic simulations: a case of SN 2023ixf

SS Kimura, TJ Moriya - arXiv preprint arXiv:2409.18935, 2024 - arxiv.org
Recent observations of core-collapse supernovae revealed that the existence of dense
circumstellar matter (CSM) around their progenitors is ubiquitous. Interaction of supernova …

A binary merger product as the direct progenitor of a Type II-P supernova

NC Sun, Z Niu, E Zapartas, D Souropanis, Y Cui… - 2025 - researchsquare.com
Abstract Type II-P supernovae (SNe II-P) are the most common type of core-collapse SNe in
the local Universe. The progenitors of SNe II-P have been directly observed in fortuitous pre …
