Our understanding of massive star evolution is in flux due to recent upheavals in our view of
mass loss and observations of a high binary fraction among O-type stars. Mass-loss rates for …

Abstract We present the Open Supernova Catalog, an online collection of observations and
metadata for presently 36,000+ supernovae and related candidates. The catalog is freely …

Supernovae are considered as prime sources of dust in space. Observations of local
supernovae over the past couple of decades have detected the presence of dust in …

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 …

JCW had long wanted to write a new monograph on supernovae. Despite an immense
explosion in the literature and many review articles, there had not been one since that of …

There is a growing number of Type IIn supernovae (SNe) which present an outburst prior to
their presumably final explosion. These precursors may affect the SN display, and are likely …

SETTING THE STAGE FOR CIRCUMSTELLAR INTERACTION IN CORE-COLLAPSE
SUPERNOVAE. II. WAVE-DRIVEN MASS LOSS IN SUPERNOVA PROGENITORS …

We present multi-wavelength observations of SN 2014C during the first 500 days. These
observations represent the first solid detection of a young extragalactic stripped-envelope …

Based on their relatively isolated environments, we argue that luminous blue variables
(LBVs) must be primarily the product of binary evolution, challenging the traditional single …

We present extensive datasets for a class of intermediate-luminosity optical transients
known as luminous red novae. They show double-peaked light curves, with an initial rapid …
