Insights into the Properties of Type Ibn/Icn Supernovae and Their Progenitor Channels through X-Ray Emission by Yusuke Inoue, Keiichi Maeda

“…We find that the soft X-ray LC provides information about the CSM compositions, while the hard X-ray LC is a robust measure of the CSM density, the explosion energy, and the ejecta mass. In addition, considering the evolution of the ionization state in the unshocked CSM, a bright soft X-ray is expected in the first few days since the explosion, which encourages rapid X-ray follow-up observations as a tool to study the nature of SNe Ibn/Icn. …”
