On 2017 March 11, the DLT40 Transient Discovery Survey discovered SN 2017cbv in NGC5643, a Type 2 Seyfert Galaxy in the Lupus Constellation. SN 2017cbv went on to become a bright Type Ia supernova, with a $V_{max}$ of 11.51 $pm$ 0.05 mag. We present early time optical and infrared photometry of SN 2017cbv covering the rise and fall of over 68 days. We find that SN 2017cbv has a broad light curve $Delta m_{15}(B)$ = 0.88 $pm$ 0.07, a $B$-band maximum at 2457840.97 $pm$ 0.43, a negligible host galaxy reddening where $E(B-V)_{host}$ $approx$ 0, and a distance modulus of 30.49 $pm$ 0.32 to the SN, corresponding to a distance of $12.58_{-1.71}^{+1.98}$ Mpc. We also present the results of two different numerical models we used for analysis in this paper: SALT2, an empirical model for Type Ia supernova optical light curves that accounts for variability components; and SNooPy, the CSP-II light-curve model that covers both optical and near-infrared wavelengths and is used for distance estimates.

Supernova (SN) 2017cbv in NGC 5643 is one of a handful of type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) reported to have excess blue emission at early times. This paper presents extensive $BVRIYJHK_s$-band light curves of SN 2017cbv, covering the phase from $-16$ to $ +125$ days relative to $B$-band maximum light. SN 2017cbv reached a $B$-band maximum of 11.710$pm$0.006~mag, with a post-maximum magnitude decline $Delta m_{15}(B)$=0.990$pm$0.013 mag. The supernova suffered no host reddening based on Phillips intrinsic color, Lira-Phillips relation, and the CMAGIC diagram. By employing the CMAGIC distance modulus $mu=30.58pm0.05$~mag and assuming $H_0$=72~$rm km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}$, we found that 0.73~msun $^{56}$Ni was synthesized during the explosion of SN 2017cbv, which is consistent with estimates using reddening-free and distance-free methods via the phases of the secondary maximum of the NIR-band light curves. We also present 14 near-infrared spectra from $-18$ to $+49$~days relative to the $B$-band maximum light, providing constraints on the amount of swept-up hydrogen from the companion star in the context of the single degenerate progenitor scenario. No $Pa{beta}$ emission feature was detected from our post-maximum NIR spectra, placing a hydrogen mass upper limit of 0.1 $M_{odot}$. The overall optical/NIR photometric and NIR spectral evolution of SN 2017cbv is similar to that of a normal SN~Ia, even though its early evolution is marked by a flux excess no seen in most other well-observed normal SNe~Ia. We also compare the exquisite light curves of SN 2017cbv with some $M_{ch}$ DDT models and sub-$M_{ch}$ double detonation models.
We present deep Chandra X-ray observations of two nearby Type Ia supernovae, SN 2017cbv and SN 2020nlb, which reveal no X-ray emission down to a luminosity $L_X$$lesssim$5.3$times$10$^{37}$ and $lesssim$5.4$times$10$^{37}$ erg s$^{-1}$ (0.3--10 keV), respectively, at $sim$16--18 days after the explosion. With these limits, we constrain the pre-explosion mass-loss rate of the progenitor system to be $dot{M}$$<$7.2$times$10$^{-9}$ and $<$9.7$times$10$^{-9}$ M$_{odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ for each (at a wind velocity $v_w$=100 km s$^{-1}$ and a radius of $R$$approx$10$^{16}$ cm), assuming any X-ray emission would originate from inverse Compton emission from optical photons up-scattered by the supernova shock. If the supernova environment was a constant density medium, we find a number density limit of n$_{CSM}$$<$36 and $<$65 cm$^{-3}$, respectively. These X-ray limits rule out all plausible symbiotic progenitor systems, as well as large swathes of parameter space associated with the single degenerate scenario, such as mass loss at the outer Lagrange point and accretion winds. We also present late-time optical spectroscopy of SN 2020nlb, and set strong limits on any swept up hydrogen ($L_{Halpha}$$<$2.7$times$10$^{37}$ ergs s$^{-1}$) and helium ($L_{He, lambda 6678}$$<$2.7$times$10$^{37}$ ergs s$^{-1}$) from a nondegenerate companion, corresponding to $M_{H}$$lesssim$0.7--2$times$10$^{-3}$ M$_{odot}$ and $M_{He}$$lesssim$4$times$10$^{-3}$ M$_{odot}$. Radio observations of SN 2020nlb at 14.6 days after explosion also yield a non-detection, ruling out most plausible symbiotic progenitor systems. While we have doubled the sample of normal type Ia supernovae with deep X-ray limits, more observations are needed to sample the full range of luminosities and sub-types of these explosions, and set statistical constraints on their circumbinary environments.
We present contemporaneous optical and infrared photometric observations of the type IIn SN 1998S covering the period between 11 and 146 days after discovery. The infrared data constitute the first ever infrared light curves of a type IIn supernova. We use blackbody and spline fits to the photometry to examine the luminosity evolution. During the first 2--3 months, the luminosity is dominated by the release of shock-deposited energy in the ejecta. After $sim$100 days the luminosity is powered mostly by the deposition of radioactive decay energy from 0.15$pm$0.05 M$_{odot}$ of $^{56}$Ni which was produced in the explosion. We also report the discovery of an astonishingly high infrared (IR) excess, $K-L=2.5$, that was present at day 130. We interpret this as being due to thermal emission from dust grains in the vicinity of the supernova. We argue that to produce such a high IR luminosity so soon after the explosion, the dust must be {it pre-existing} and so is located in the circumstellar medium of the progenitor. The dust could be heated either by the UV/optical flash (IR echo) or by the X-rays from the interaction of the ejecta with the circumstellar material
We present optical and ultraviolet spectra of SN 1885 (S And), visible in absorption against the bulge of the Andromeda galaxy (M31), using the Hubble Space Telescopes STIS spectrograph to probe the three dimensional arrangement of the supernova debr is. Spectra covering 2900 to 5700 A taken using six 0.2 slit positions in two orientations show broad Ca II absorption with blue and red radial velocities out to at least 11,500 km/s, consistent with HST Ca II images of S And. Enhanced Ca II absorption is seen between 2000 to 6000 km/s suggestive of a Ca II-rich shell. The spectra also show strong, asymmetric Ca I 4227 A absorption extending out to +12,400 km/s, along with weak Fe I 3720 A absorption in a shell with velocities between 2000 and 9000 km/s. Ultraviolet spectra obtained revealed weak broad absorption shortward of 3000 A consistent with model predictions. The STIS spectra, together with previous HST images, show a layered structure with a well defined Ca-rich outer edge indicative of a delayed detonation phase. The remnants clumpy inner Ca-rich shell plus only a handful of Fe-rich plumes is unlike morphologies expected from dynamical or violent merger scenarios. The small number of Fe-rich plumes suggest their formation during a deflagration phase by Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities but less well developed without extended mixing as expected from hydrodynamic calculations. The suppression of strong Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities is possibly the result of strong magnetic fields. We propose SN 1885 was an off-center, delayed detonation and slightly subluminous SN Ia similar to SN 1986g.
We study the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the Crab Pulsar and its nearby knot in the optical and in the infrared (IR) regime. We present high-quality UBVRIz, as well as adaptive optics JHK_sL photometry, achieved under excellent conditions with the FORS1 and NAOS/CONICA instruments at the VLT. We combine these data with re-analyzed archival Spitzer Space Telescope data to construct a SED for the pulsar, and quantify the contamination from the knot. We have also gathered optical imaging data from 1988 to 2008 from several telescopes in order to examine the predicted secular decrease in luminosity. For the Crab Pulsar SED we find a spectral slope of alpha_nu = 0.27+-0.03 in the optical/near-IR regime, when we exclude the contribution from the knot. For the knot itself, we find a much redder slope of alpha_nu = -1.3 +- 0.1. Our best estimate of the average decrease in luminosity for the pulsar is 2.9+-1.6 mmag per year. We have demonstrated the importance of the nearby knot in precision measurements of the Crab Pulsar SED, in particular in the near-IR. We have scrutinized the evidence for the traditional view of a synchrotron self-absorption roll-over in the infrared, and find that these claims are unfounded. We also find evidence for a secular decrease in the optical light for the Crab Pulsar, in agreement with current pulsar spin-down models. However, although our measurements of the decrease significantly improve on previous investigations, the detection is still tentative. We finally point to future observations that can improve the situation significantly.
