The Landscape of Massive Stellar Death

时间域的天空出人意料地多样化：在过去的十年里，我们开始意识到恒星可以以一种以前没有预测到的广泛和多样化的方式爆炸。利用兹维基瞬变设备提供的庞大的遗留超新星数据集，我们将提供附近宇宙中发生的所有类型恒星死亡的分类和子分类的完整图片，测量它们的相对速率和光度函数，并将即时可观测数据(超新星类型、峰值光度、特征时间尺度和宿主星系中的位置)与恒星的基本属性(质量、寿命和爆炸前的恒星演化)联系起来，以提高我们对导致不同(大质量)恒星从出生到死亡的不同路径的洞察力。

The time-domain sky is unexpectedly diverse: over the past decade we have come to realize that stars can explode in a wide and diverse manner of ways that had not previously been predicted. Using the vast legacy supernova data set provided by the Zwicky Transient Facility, we will provide a fully complete picture of the classifications and sub-classifications of all types of stellar death occurring in the nearby universe, measure their relative rates and luminosity functions, and connect immediate observables (supernova type, peak luminosity, characteristics timescale, and location within the host galaxy) to fundamental properties of the star (mass, lifetime, and pre-explosion stellar evolution) in order to improve our insights into what leads different (massive) stars along different pathways from birth until death.
