The past ten years have opened up a new parameter space in time-domain astronomy with
the discovery of transients defying our understanding of how stars explode. These extremes …

Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) mark the deaths of stars more massive than about eight
times the mass of the Sun and are intrinsically the most common kind of catastrophic cosmic …

Abstract The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is performing a three-day cadence survey of the
visible northern sky (∼ 3π) with newly found transient candidates announced via public …

We present early-phase panchromatic photometric and spectroscopic coverage spanning
the far-ultraviolet to near-infrared regime of the nearest hydrogen-rich core-collapse …

Massive black holes (BHs) at the centres of massive galaxies are ubiquitous. The population
of BHs within dwarf galaxies, on the other hand, is not yet known. Dwarf galaxies are thought …

In the transitional mass range (~ 8–10 solar masses) between white dwarf formation and
iron core-collapse supernovae, stars are expected to produce an electron-capture …

Because mass loss is a fundamental phenomenon in massive stars, an interaction with
circumstellar material (CSM) should be universal in core-collapse supernovae (SNe) …

Linking supernovae to their progenitors is a powerful method for furthering our
understanding of the physical origin of their observed differences while at the same time …

Abstract We present the Young Supernova Experiment Data Release 1 (YSE DR1),
comprised of processed multicolor PanSTARRS1 griz and Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) gr …

Context. A fundamental property determining the transient behaviour of core-collapse
supernovae (CC SNe) is the amount of radioactive 56 Ni synthesised in the explosion. Using …
