Transients powered by interaction with the circumstellar medium (CSM) are often observed in wavelengths other than optical, and multi-wavelength modelling can be important when inferring the properties of the explosion and CSM, or for distinguishing from other powering mechanisms. We develop a model calculating time dependent emission spectrum of interaction-powered transients. We solve energy equations of electron-proton plasma in the shocked SN ejecta and CSM and a radiation transfer equation out to the outer edge of the CSM, incorporating the collisional relaxation and the comptonization of the bremsstrahlung radiation. We compare our model to observations of Type IIn supernovae covering frequency ranges from optical to X-rays. For SN 2010jl the observed optical and X-ray light curves can be consistently explained if clumpy or asymmetric structure in the CSM is assumed, in agreement with previous studies. For SN 2014C our model successfully reproduces the X-ray bremsstrahlung component and the emergence of H$alpha$ emission at 400 days after explosion. Finally we find a parameter space where the supernova is extremely X-ray bright, reaching $10^{43}$-$10^{44} {rm erg s^{-1}}$ for up to $100$ days. Such X-ray transients are likely detectable with all-sky surveys by e.g. eROSITA.

We construct a numerical light curve model for interaction-powered supernovae that arise from an interaction between the ejecta and the circumstellar matter (CSM). In order to resolve the shocked region of an interaction-powered supernova, we solve t he fluid equations and radiative transfer equation assuming the steady states in the rest frames of the reverse and forward shocks at each time step. Then we numerically solve the radiative transfer equation and the energy equation in the CSM with the thus obtained radiative flux from the forward shock as a radiation source. We also compare results of our models with observational data of two supernovae 2005kj and 2005ip classified as type IIn and discuss the validity of our assumptions. We conclude that our model can predict physical parameters associated with supernova ejecta and the CSM from the observed features of the light curve as long as the CSM is sufficiently dense. Furthermore, we found that the absorption of radiation in the CSM is an important factor to calculate the luminosity.
We present the public release of the Complete History of Interaction-Powered Supernovae (CHIPS) code, suited to model a variety of transients that arise from interaction with a dense circumstellar medium (CSM). Contrary to existing modellings which m ostly attach the CSM by hand, CHIPS self-consistently simulates both the creation of the CSM from mass eruption of massive stars prior to core-collapse, and the subsequent supernova light curve. We demonstrate the performance of CHIPS by presenting examples of the density profiles of the CSM and the light curves. We show that the gross light curve properties of putative interaction-powered transients, such as Type IIn supernovae, rapidly evolving transients and recently discovered fast blue optical transients, can be comprehensively explained with the output of CHIPS.
We report on robust measurements of elemental abundances of the Type IIn supernova SN 1978K, based on the high-resolution X-ray spectrum obtained with the Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) onboard XMM-Newton. The RGS clearly resolves a number of emission lines, including N Ly$alpha$, O Ly$alpha$, O Ly$beta$, Fe XVII, Fe XVIII, Ne He$alpha$ and Ne Ly$alpha$ for the first time from SN 1978K. The X-ray spectrum can be represented by an absorbed, two-temperature thermal emission model, with temperatures of $kT sim 0.6$ keV and $2.7$ keV. The elemental abundances are obtained to be N $=$ $2.36_{-0.80}^{+0.88}$, O $=$ $0.20 pm{0.05}$, Ne $=$ $0.47 pm{0.12}$, Fe $=$ $0.15_{-0.02}^{+0.01}$ times the solar values. The low metal abundances except for N show that the X-ray emitting plasma originates from the circumstellar medium blown by the progenitor star. The abundances of N and O are far from CNO-equilibrium abundances expected for the surface composition of a luminous blue variable, and resemble the H-rich envelope of less-massive stars with masses of 10-25 M$_odot$. Together with other peculiar properties of SN 1978K, i.e., a low expansion velocity of 500-1000 km s$^{-1}$ and SN IIn-like optical spectra, we propose that SN 1978K is a result of either an electron-capture SN from a super asymptotic giant branch star, or a weak Fe core-collapse explosion of a relatively low-mass ($sim$10 M$_odot$) or high-mass ($sim$20-25 M$_odot$) red supergiant star. However, these scenarios can not naturally explain the high mass-loss rate of the order of $dot{M} sim 10^{-3} rm{M_{odot} yr^{-1}}$ over $gtrsim$1000 yr before the explosion, which is inferred by this work as well as many other earlier studies. Further theoretical studies are required to explain the high mass-loss rates at the final evolutionary stages of massive stars.

Near-Infrared (NIR) observations are presented for five Type IIn supernovae (SN 1995N, SN 1997ab, SN 1998S, SN 1999Z, and SN 1999el) that exhibit strong infrared excesses at late times (t >= 100 d). H- and K-band emission from these objects is domina ted by a continuum that rises toward longer wavelengths. The data are interpreted as thermal emission from dust, probably situated in a pre-existing circumstellar nebula. The IR luminosities implied by single temperature blackbody fits are quite large,> 10^(41 - 42) erg s^-1, and the emission evolves slowly, lasting for years after maximum light. For SN 1995N, the integrated energy release via IR dust emission was 0.5 -- 1 * 10^50 erg. A number of dust heating scenarios are considered, the most likely being an infrared echo poweredby X-ray and UV emissions from the shock interaction with a dense circumstellar medium.
The accretion-induced pulse-period changes of the Be/X-ray binary pulsar X Persei were investigated over a period of 1996 January to 2017 September. This study utilized the monitoring data acquired with the RXTE/ASM in 1.5$-$12 keV and MAXI/GSC in 2$ -$20 keV. The source intensity changed by a factor of 5$-$6 over this period. The pulsar was spinning down for 1996$-$2003, and has been spinning up since 2003, as already reported. The spin up/down rate and the 3$-$12 keV flux, determined every 250 d, showed a clear negative correlation, which can be successfully explained by the accretion torque model proposed by Ghosh & Lamb (1979). When the mass, radius and distance of the neutron star are allowed to vary over a range of 1.0$-$2.4 solar masses, 9.5$-$15 km, and 0.77$-$0.85 kpc, respectively, the magnetic field strength of $B=(4-25) times10^{13} rm G$ gave the best fits to the observation. In contrast, the observed results cannot be explained by the values of $Bsim10^{12} rm G$ previously suggested for X Persei, as long as the mass, radius, and distance are required to take reasonable values. Assuming a distance of $0.81pm0.04$ kpc as indicated by optical astrometry, the mass of the neutron star is estimated as $M=2.03pm0.17$ solar masses.
