The Observed Phase Space of Mass-loss History from Massive Stars Based on Radio Observations of a Large Supernova Sample by Itai Sfaradi, Assaf Horesh, Rob Fender, Lauren Rhodes, Joe Bright, David Williams-Baldwin, Dave A. Green

“…In this work, we study the circumstellar material (CSM) around massive stars, and the mass-loss rates depositing this CSM, using a large sample of radio observations of 325 core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe; only ~22% of them being detected). This sample comprises both archival data and our new observations of 99 CCSNe conducted with the AMI-LA radio array in a systematic approach devised to constrain the mass loss at different stages of stellar evolution. …”
