    A UV resonance line echo from a shell around a hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova

    Hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSN-I) are a class of rare and energetic explosions that have been discovered in untargeted transient surveys in the past decade1,2. The progenitor stars and the physical ...

    Confined dense circumstellar material surrounding a regular type II supernova

    With the advent of new wide-field, high-cadence optical transient surveys, our understanding of the diversity of core-collapse supernovae has grown tremendously in the last decade. However, the pre-supernova e...

    The superluminous transient ASASSN-15lh as a tidal disruption event from a Kerr black hole

    When a star passes within the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole, it will be torn apart1. For a star with the mass of the Sun (M⊙) and a non-spinning black hole with a mass <108M⊙, the tidal radius lies ou...

    Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows as Probes of High-Z Star Formation

    Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are bright and distant explosions, caused by the death of a massive star, making them excellent probes of star formation at all redshifts. One application of GRBs is to perform optical ...
