SN 2025aico: Early observations of a faint type IIb supernova with a low-mass envelope
Originating from massive stars that have lost most of their hydrogen envelopes, type IIb supernovae are stellar explosions of partially stripped stars. Due to this extensive stripping, their spectra exhibit transitional signatures that bridge the gap between hydrogen-rich (type II) and helium-rich (type Ib) events, mak...
