ZTF SN Ia DR2: The diversity and relative rates of the thermonuclear SN population
Astronomy & Astrophysics, Volume 694, A10 (2025) —
ADS
Performed a large-scale statistical study of the ZTF SN Ia DR2 sample, presenting spectroscopic classifications alongside photometric properties, host-galaxy characteristics, and subclass fractions.
SN 2021zny: an early flux excess combined with late-time oxygen emission suggests a double white dwarf merger event
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 521, 1162–1183 (2023) —
ADS
Provided strong observational evidence that the 03fg-like SN 2021zny originated from a double white-dwarf merger, based on a short-lived blue flash shortly after explosion and late-time oxygen emission.
A Carbon/Oxygen-dominated Atmosphere Days after Explosion for the “Super-Chandrasekhar” Type Ia SN 2020esm
The Astrophysical Journal, Volume 927, 78 (2022) —
ADS
Showed that the 03fg-like SN 2020esm exhibited a nearly pure carbon–oxygen atmosphere during the first days after explosion, consistent with the merger of two carbon–oxygen white dwarfs.
Nebular Spectroscopy of Kepler’s Brightest Supernova
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, Volume 870, L14 (2019) —
ADS
Estimated stringent upper limits on the amount of hydrogen and helium stripped from a companion star by the explosion of SN 2018oh, an event exhibiting a prominent early flux excess.
K2 Observations of SN 2018oh Reveal a Two-component Rising Light Curve for a Type Ia Supernova
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, Volume 870, L1 (2019) —
ADS
Presented a high-cadence (30-min) light curve with the earliest detection (3.6 h after explosion) of a blue flux excess, as predicted by some SN Ia progenitor scenarios.
The late-time light curve of the Type Ia supernova SN 2011fe
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 468, 3798–3812 (2017) —
ADS
Analysed extremely late-time observations of the well-studied SN Ia 2011fe, demonstrating the presence of radioactive 57Ni and constraining its progenitor system.
Early X-ray emission from Type Ia supernovae originating from symbiotic progenitors or recurrent novae
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 443, 1370–1380 (2014) —
ADS
Explained the absence of X-ray emission in SNe Ia using numerical hydrodynamical simulations of recurrent nova eruptions prior to the terminal supernova explosion and the subsequent interaction with the surrounding medium.
