Type Ibn Supernovae Show Photometric Homogeneity and Spectral Diversity at Maximum Light

Type Ibn Supernovae Show Photometric Homogeneity and Spectral Diversity at Maximum Light

Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) are a small yet intriguing class of explosions whose spectra are characterized by low-velocity helium emission lines with little to no evidence for hydrogen. The prevailing theory has been that these are the core-collapse explosions of very massive stars embedded in helium-rich circumstellar material (CSM). We …
