    Principles of supernova-driven winds
    The formation of galaxies is regulated by a balance between the supply of gas and the rate at which it is ejected. Traditional explanations of gas ejection...

    Progenitor and close-in circumstellar medium of type II supernova 2020fqv from high-cadence photometry and ultra-rapid UV spectroscopy
    We present observations of SN 2020fqv, a Virgo-cluster type II core-collapse supernova (CCSN) with a high temporal resolution light curve from the Transiting...

    Progenitors of recent core-collapse supernovae
    Supernovae are at the heart of some of the most important problems of modern astronomy. To fully understand their importance and to enable their use as probes...

    Radio-size estimates of SN 1993J
    Supernova 1993J (SN 1993J) in M81, now classified as Type IIb, is a strongly emitting radio supernova whose size can be resolved and whose growth can be...

    Rates and delay times of Type Ia supernovae in the Dark Energy Survey
    We use a sample of 809 photometrically classified Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) along with 40 415 field galaxies to...

    Rates and properties of Type Ia supernovae in galaxy clusters within the dark energy survey
    We identify 66 photometrically classified Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) that have occurred within red-sequence selected galaxy...

    SDSS J163030.58+423305.8: a 40-min orbital period detached white dwarf binary
    We report the discovery of a new detached, double white dwarf (WD) system with an orbital period of 39.8 min. We targeted SDSS J163030.58+423305.8 (hereafter...

    Searching for SNIa Companions in Galactic SNe: the case of SN 1006
    Type-Ia supernovae (SNIa) are believed to be thermonuclear explosions of accreting carbon-oxygen white dwarfs that reach the Chandrasekhar mass limit of about 1...

    Self-sustaining galactic winds in spiral galaxies with starburst nuclei
    In the circumnuclear zones of the disks of some spirals there is an absence of neutral interstellar hydrogen. A model is devised in which gaseous outflow is...
