Abstract:Despite the fact that the progenitor of fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) is still up for debate, FBOTs are sometimes suggested to originate from the core-collapse of ultra-stripped stars and be powered by a spinning-down neutron star. Following this consideration, it is expected that the latetime evolution of the progenitor stars can leave important imprints in the circumstellar material (CSM) of the FBOTs, due to the strong mass loss of the stars. The interaction of the FBOT ejecta with the CSM can drive … Show more
