Red Supergiant Problem Viewed from the Nebular Phase Spectroscopy of Type II Supernovae

The red supergiant (RSG) problem refers to the observed dearth of luminous RSGs identified as progenitors of Type II supernovae (SNe II) in pre-SN imaging. Understanding this phenomenon is essential for studying pre-SN mass loss and the explodability of core-collapse SNe. In this work, we reassess t...
