Abstract

We present ultraviolet/optical/near-infrared observations and modeling of Type II supernovae (SNe II) whose early time (δt < 2 days) spectra show transient, narrow emission lines from shock ionization of confined (r < 10¹⁵ cm) circumstellar material (CSM). The observed electron-scattering broadened line profiles (i.e., IIn-like) of H I, He I/II, C IV, and N III/IV/V from the CSM persist on a characteristic timescale (tIIn) that marks a transition to a lower-density CSM and the emergence of Doppler-broadened features from the fast-moving SN ejecta. Our sample, the largest to date, consists of 39 SNe with early time IIn-like features in addition to 35 “comparison” SNe with no evidence of early time IIn-like features, all with ultraviolet observations. The total sample includes 50 unpublished objects with a total of 474 previously unpublished spectra and 50 multiband light curves, collected

primarily through the Young Supernova Experiment and Global Supernova Project collaborations. For all sample objects, we find a significant correlation between peak ultraviolet brightness and both $t_{II\text{n}}$ and the rise time, as well as evidence for enhanced peak luminosities in SNe II with IIn-like features. We quantify mass-loss rates and CSM density for the sample through the matching of peak multiband absolute magnitudes, rise times, $t_{II\text{n}}$, and optical SN spectra with a grid of radiation hydrodynamics and non-local thermodynamic equilibrium radiative-transfer simulations. For our grid of models, all with the same underlying explosion, there is a trend between the duration of the electron-scattering broadened line profiles and inferred mass-loss rate: $t_{II\text{n}} \approx 3.8[\dot{M}/(0.01 M_{\odot} \text{yr}^{-1})]$ days.

# 1. Introduction

The shock breakout (SBO) from a red supergiant (RSG) premieres as a burst of luminous ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray radiation that lasts several hours (Waxman & Katz 2017; Goldberg et al. 2022). The breakout photons escape from a characteristic optical depth ($\tau \approx c/v_{\text{sh}}$, where c is the speed of light, and $v_{\text{sh}}$ is the shock velocity), which could occur either in the outer RSG envelope or inside of high-density circumstellar material (CSM) surrounding the star at the time of first light (Chevalier & Irwin 2011; Haynie & Piro 2021). Following first light at the characteristic optical depth, the photons emitted at SBO will “flash ionize” the CSM, leading to narrow emission lines in the early time spectra of highly ionized elements such as He II, C IV, O VI, and N III/IV/V. However, without the presence of a continuous ionizing source in the CSM after SBO, the CSM will quickly recombine, and the “flash ionization” phase will conclude within minutes to hours after SBO ($t_{\text{rec}} \propto 1/n_e$, where $n_e$ is number density of free electrons) given the densities typical of RSG environments (e.g., $n \approx 10^{7-10} \text{ cm}^{-3}$, $\rho \approx 10^{-14} - 10^{-17} \text{ g cm}^{-3}$ at $r < 2R_{\odot}$).

For Type II supernovae (SNe II) propagating in a low-density environment ($\rho < 10^{-15} \text{ g cm}^{-3}$ at $r \approx 10^{14-15} \text{ cm}$), the fast-moving SN ejecta will then sweep up low-density, optically thin CSM, and the Doppler-broadened spectral features of SN ejecta will be visible within hours to days after first light. For higher densities associated with some SN II environments (e.g., $\rho \gtrsim 10^{-14} \text{ g cm}^{-3}$), radiative cooling of the shocked regions will result in the formation of a cold dense shell (CDS) even at early times (Chevalier & Fransson 1994; Fransson 2017). Consequently, SNe II in dense CSM ($\rho \gtrsim 10^{-14} \text{ g cm}^{-3}$ at $r \approx 10^{14-15} \text{ cm}$) present a unique opportunity to probe more extreme RSG mass-loss histories through ultrarapid (“flash”) spectroscopy during the explosion’s first days (Gal-Yam et al. 2014; Khazov et al. 2016; Yaron et al. 2017; Terreran et al. 2022; Jacobson-Galán et al. 2023).

Following SN ejecta-CSM interaction, the forward-shock kinetic luminosity goes as $L_{\text{sh}} = \dot{M}v_{\text{sh}}^3/2v_{\text{w}}$, where $v_{\text{sh}}$ is the shock velocity, $v_{\text{w}}$ is the wind velocity, and $\dot{M}$ is the mass-loss rate (e.g., $\dot{M} = 4\pi\rho r^2 v_{\text{w}}$). Consequently, in high-density CSM, the SN shock power is quite high ($>10^{41} \text{ erg s}^{-1}$ for $\dot{M} > 10^{-4} M_{\odot} \text{ yr}^{-1}$, $v_{\text{sh}} \approx 10^4 \text{ km s}^{-1}$), and for typical postshock temperatures ($T_{\text{sh}} \approx 10^{5-8} \text{ K}$), the gas will cool primarily via free-free emission, as well as line emission (Fransson 2017). High-energy photons emitted at the shock front will continue to ionize the intervening CSM, prolonging the formation of high-ionization recombination lines present during the “flash ionization” phase. During this “photoionization” phase, recombination photons inside the CSM will encounter a large number density of free electrons and consequently participate in multiple scatterings before they exit the

CSM. Observationally, this manifests as spectral line profiles that contain a combination of a narrow core and Lorentzian wings (i.e., IIn-like), the former tracing the expansion velocities in the wind/CSM while the latter results from the photon’s frequency shift following electron scattering (Chugai 2001; Dessart et al. 2009; Huang & Chevalier 2018). In the single-scattering limit, the observed emission line will map the thermal velocity of the free electrons ($v_e \approx 10^3(T/10^{4.5} \text{ K})^{1/2} \text{ km s}^{-1}$), but with sufficiently large electron-scattering optical depths ($\tau \approx 3-10$), the resulting line profiles can extend to thousands of kilometers per second. However, as the shock samples lower-density CSM at large radii (assuming a wind-like profile or CSM shell), these electron-scattering profiles will vanish within days to weeks of first light, with the SN photosphere then revealing the CDS, if present, and subsequently the fast-moving SN ejecta (Dessart et al. 2017). However, departures from CSM spherical symmetry and/or homogeneous density may blur the transition between these three phases; for example, Doppler-broadened line profiles can appear while spectral signatures of unshocked optically thick CSM are still present in the early time spectra.

Given the transient nature of these spectral features, high-cadence “flash” spectroscopy during the first days post-SBO is essential to map the densities, kinematics, and progenitor chemical composition in the preexplosion environment at radii of $r < 10^{15} \text{ cm}$. Consequently, such observations provide a window into the largely unconstrained stages of stellar evolution in the final years to months before core collapse. Enabled by the advent of high-cadence surveys in the past decade, the study of SNe II with such photoionization spectral features has revealed enhanced, late-stage mass-loss rates in RSG progenitor systems. Interestingly, one of the first records of this phenomenon was in SN 1983K (Niemela et al. 1985), but garnered the most attention through observations of SN 1998S (Fassia et al. 2000; Leonard et al. 2000), which showed high-ionization features at early times ($\delta t < 7$ days) and then transitioned to a Type IIL supernova (SN IIL) at later phases ($\delta t > 7$ days) as the IIn-like features disappeared. Spectroscopic and photometric modeling of SN 1998S suggested significant mass loss of $\dot{M} \approx 10^{-2} M_{\odot} \text{ yr}^{-1}$ for $v_{\text{w}} \approx 50 - 100 \text{ km s}^{-1}$ (Shivvers et al. 2015; Dessart et al. 2016), capable of producing transient IIn-like features and an overluminous light curve, placing it as extreme compared to normal SNe II, but not quite placing it in the Type IIn SN subclass.

Since SN 1998S, a number of SNe II have been discovered with photoionization spectral features from SN ejecta-CSM interaction at early times. Modeling of the photoionized spectra continues to point toward confined ($r < 10^{15} \text{ cm}$), high-density ($\dot{M} \approx 10^{-3} - 10^{-2} M_{\odot} \text{ yr}^{-1}$, $v_{\text{w}} \approx 50-100 \text{ km s}^{-1}$) CSM created in the final years before explosion (e.g., PTF11iqb, Smith et al. 2015;
SN 2013fs, Yaron et al. 2017; Dessart et al. 2017; SN 2014G, Terreran et al. 2016; SN 2016bkv, Hosseinzadeh et al. 2018; Nakaoka et al. 2018; SN 2017ahn, Tartaglia et al. 2021; SN 2018zd, Zhang et al. 2020; Hiramatsu et al. 2021; SN 2020pni, Terreran et al. 2022; SN 2020tlf, Jacobson-Galán et al. 2022; SN 2023ixf, Jacobson-Galán et al. 2023; Bostroem et al. 2023; Smith et al. 2023; Zimmerman et al. 2024; Figure 11 of Brethauer et al. 2022). Sample studies have sought to uncover the rates of such events, the most recent estimate being >40% for all SN II discovered within 2 days of first light (Bruch et al. 2021b, 2023). Intriguingly, mass-loss rates derived for individual explosions stand in contradiction with observations of weak, steady-state mass loss (e.g., $10^{-6} M_{\odot} yr^{-1}$) in observed RSGs (Beasor et al. 2020) as well as the quiescent behavior of SN II progenitor stars in preexplosion imaging (Kochanek et al. 2017). However, this could be related to the preexplosion timescales that each method is probing. Furthermore, beyond H-rich SNe, “flash spectroscopy” has aided in significant breakthroughs in our understanding of H-poor SN progenitor identity and late-stage evolution, e.g., Type IIb, Type Ibc, and calcium rich (e.g., Gal-Yam et al. 2014; Pastorello et al. 2015; Jacobson-Galán et al. 2020; Chugai 2022; Davis et al. 2023; Wang et al. 2024). However, it is also evident that some massive stars undergo enhanced mass loss even before their final years (e.g., $t \approx 10–1000$ yr), and therefore, X-ray/radio observations as well as long-term UV/optical monitoring are essential to reconstruct a more complete mass-loss history (e.g., Chevalier 1998; Fransson et al. 1996; Chevalier et al. 2006; Weiler et al. 2002; Wellons et al. 2012; Milisavljevic et al. 2015; Fransson 2017; Margutti et al. 2017; Brethauer et al. 2022; DeMarchi et al. 2022; Stroh et al. 2021; Dessart et al. 2023; Shahbandeh et al. 2023; Grefenstette et al. 2023; Berger et al. 2023; Panjkov et al. 2023).

In this study, we present observations and modeling of the largest sample to date of SNe II with early time ($\delta t < 2$ days) spectroscopic signatures of CSM interaction. This sample consists of 27 unpublished SNe with photoionization emission features, which includes 293 new spectra as well as 27 UV/optical/near-infrared (NIR) light curves. In Section 2, we define the sample and present the spectroscopic and photometric observations. Section 3 presents an analysis of the bolometric and multiband light curves as well as early time and photospheric-phase spectra. In Section 4, we present the HERACLES/CMFGEN model grid and the derived mass-loss rates and CSM densities based on model comparisons to the sample data. Our results are discussed in Section 5, and our conclusions are in Section 6.

All phases reported in this paper are with respect to the adopted time of first light (Table A1) and are in rest-frame days. The time of first light ($\delta t$) and its uncertainty are calculated from the average phase between the last deep nondetection and the first detection using forced photometry from the survey that initially imaged the SN (e.g., the Zwicky Transient Facility, hereafter ZTF; ATLAS; the Young Supernova Experiment, hereafter YSE; DLT40). However, we note that the first-light phase could be earlier in some instances given a shallow depth of the last nondetection limit. Furthermore, “first light” in this case only refers to when photons are first detected from the SN, which is unlikely to reflect the first emission from the explosion. When available for a given sample object, we adopt the time of first light reported in a previously published study and confirm that this phase is consistent with first detection and last nondetection using

forced photometry. When possible, we use redshift-independent host-galaxy distances and adopt standard $\Lambda$CDM cosmology ($H_0 = 70 \text{ km s}^{-1} \text{ Mpc}^{-1}$, $\Omega_M = 0.27$, $\Omega_{\Lambda} = 0.73$) if only redshift information is available for a given object.

## 2. Observations

### 2.1. Sample Definition

Our total sample consists of 74 SNe II, 39 of which show spectroscopic evidence for CSM interaction at early times ($\delta t < 10$ days) through the detection of transient IIn-like features. Gold-sample objects have a spectrum obtained at $\delta t < 2$ days while silver-sample objects only have spectra obtained at $\delta t > 2$ days. Additionally, we include 35 SNe II with “flash spectroscopy” (i.e., spectra at $\delta t < 2$ days) but no detection of IIn-like features (the comparison sample). For the gold and comparison samples, we require that the uncertainty in the time of first light be <1 day. To construct the total sample, we first query the Transient Name Server (TNS)<fnref n="39" /> for every transient discovered between 2004 November 20 and 2022 August 1 and then select only objects with Type II-like classification (e.g., SN II, SN IIP, SN IIL, SN IIIn, SN II-pec) at redshifts $z < 0.05$, which returns 1697 SNe. For those SNe II, we keep objects having spectra within 3 days of discovery, which returns 428 objects. Next, we query the Swift Ultraviolet Optical Telescope (UVOT) data archive and record how many total observations of the SN location exist within 10 days of discovery. We then keep objects with >2 Swift-UVOT observations at <10 day postdiscovery, which returns 114 total objects, after cutting SNe IIIn. This exercise is repeated using the Weizmann Interactive Supernova Data Repository (WISeREP),<fnref n="40" /> finding 48 total objects, both with and without IAU names, that meet the sample selection criteria listed above. We are then left with 137 total SNe II after removing duplicate objects. Lastly, we cut all SNe II with no IIn-like features that do not have a spectrum at $\delta t < 2$ days and/or uncertainty in the time of first light of >1 day. Furthermore, we cut all objects that do not have $\Delta m > 1$ mag between last nondetection and first detection, in the same filter, and/or $\Delta M > 3$ mag between first detection and peak brightness. Consequently, our total sample contains 74 objects: 20 gold-, 19 silver-, and 35 comparison-sample SNe II. In this data release, we also include multicolor light curves and spectra of five additional SNe II with IIn-like features: 2018cvn, 2018khh, 2019ofc, 2019nyk, 2021ulv. These objects are not used in our analysis given the lack of UV photometry.

The gold/silver samples contain 12 previously published objects with a total of 208 spectra and 12 UV/optical light curves, in addition to 27 unpublished objects with a total of 293 spectra and 27 UV/optical light curves. The comparison sample contains 12 previously published and 23 unpublished objects, with a total of 464 spectra. As shown in Figure A5 in the Appendix, the peak absolute magnitude as a function of SN distance reveals a trend consistent with a Malmquist bias, i.e., only higher luminosity objects can be detected at farther distances. An examination of peak apparent magnitude before extinction corrections are applied shows that the sample extends to low luminosities, with the majority of nearby ($D < 20$ Mpc) events being in the comparison sample. The lack

No K-corrections have been applied. Gold and silver samples shown in blue, yellow, and red; comparison sample plotted as black dashed lines. Solid colored curves represent the subsample of objects at *D* > 40 Mpc. Compared to SNe II without IIn-like features (i.e., comparison sample), objects with confirmed IIn-like signatures have notably more luminous and longer-lasting UV emission at early times. Furthermore, Class I objects that show longer-lived IIn-like profiles of He II and N III are typically brighter than other gold-sample objects with shorter-lived IIn-like features. The variance of the total sample decreases with increasing wavelength, with the least luminous objects being those in the comparison sample.</figcaption></figure>

of nearby gold/silver-sample objects may be the result of selection effects and/or the intrinsic rarity of SNe II with IIn-like features. Furthermore, the difference in redshift distribution (top left panel of Figure A5) implies that the gold and comparison samples may not arise from the same parent distribution. We account for this difference by applying a distance cut in our comparison of observables in each subsample in Section 3.1. Additionally, we note the lack of highly reddened SNe ($A_V > 3$ mag; Jencson et al. 2019) in our sample, which represents a selection effect in our sample because these objects are unlikely to have associated Swift-UVOT observations.

Within both subsamples, the color delineation (e.g., Figures 1 and 3) is as follows: at phases of $t \approx 2$ day post-first-light, blue-colored objects (“Class 1”) show high-ionization emission lines of N III, He II, and C IV (e.g., SNe 1998S, 2017ahn, 2018zd, 2020pni, 2020tlf), yellow-colored objects (“Class 2”) have no N III emission but do show He II and C IV

(e.g., SNe 2014G, 2022jox), and red-colored objects (“Class 3”) only show weaker, narrow He II emission superimposed with a blueshifted, Doppler-broadened He II (e.g., SN 2013fs, 2020xua). However, it should be noted that high-ionization lines of O V/VI, C V, and N IV are also present in SN 2013fs at $t < 1$ day owing to a more compact CSM than other CSM-interacting SNe II (Yaron et al. 2017; Dessart et al. 2017); thus, the color delineation is epoch dependent.

All targets were selected from private collaborations/surveys as well as all public/published studies on SNe II with prominent or potential IIn-like features in their early time spectra (Table A1). We emphasize that, while the SNe in our sample may show IIn-like line profiles at early times, they are not prototypical SNe IIn that show relatively narrow line profiles from CSM interaction for weeks to months following explosion (e.g., SNe 2005ip, 2010jl; Smith et al. 2009; Taddia et al. 2013; Gall et al. 2014; Fransson et al. 2014; Dessart et al. 2015). The IIn-like profiles in our sample objects fade within
days to a week after first light, and the explosion proceeds to evolve photometrically and spectroscopically as a standard RSG explosion—a light-curve plateau or linear (in magnitudes) decline where hydrogen recombination mitigates the release of stored radiative energy, and the photospheric spectra are dominated by PCygni profiles formed from H, He, and Fe-group elements in the SN ejecta.

## 2.2. Photometric Observations

All gold-, silver-, and comparison-sample objects were observed during their evolution with UVOT (Roming et al. 2005) on board the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory (Gehrels et al. 2004). We performed aperture photometry with a 5" region radius with uvotsource within HEAsoft v6.26,<fnref n="41" /> following the standard guidelines from Brown et al. (2014).<fnref n="42" /> In order to remove contamination from the host galaxy, we employed images acquired at $\delta t > 1$ yr, assuming that the SN contribution is negligible at this phase. This is supported by visual inspection in which we found no flux at the SN location. We subtracted the measured count rate at the location of the SN from the count rates in the SN images and corrected for point-spread-function (PSF) losses following the prescriptions of Brown et al. (2014). We also note that the w2 filter has a known red leak (Brown et al. 2010), which could impact postpeak observations when the SN is significantly cooler.

For the total sample, optical/NIR photometry was obtained from a variety of collaborations and telescopes. Pan-STARRS telescope (PS1/2; Kaiser et al. 2002; Chambers et al. 2017) imaging in the griz bands was obtained through YSE (Jones et al. 2021). Data storage/visualization and follow-up coordination was done through the YSE-PZ web broker (Coulter et al. 2022, 2023). The YSE photometric pipeline is based on photpipe (Rest et al. 2005), which relies on calibrations from Magnier et al. (2020) and Waters et al. (2020). Each image template was taken from stacked PS1 exposures, with most of the input data from the PS1 $3\pi$ survey. All images and templates were resampled and astrometrically aligned to match a skycell in the PS1 sky tessellation. An image zero-point is determined by comparing PSF photometry of the stars to updated stellar catalogs of PS1 observations (Flewelling et al. 2020). The PS1 templates are convolved with a three-Gaussian kernel to match the PSF of the nightly images, and the convolved templates are subtracted from the nightly images with HOTPANTS (Becker 2015). Finally, a flux-weighted centroid is found for the position of the SN in each image, and PSF photometry is performed using “forced photometry”: the centroid of the PSF is forced to be at the SN position. The nightly zero-point is applied to the photometry to determine the brightness of the SN for that epoch.

We obtained *uUBVgriz* imaging with the Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) 1 m telescopes through the Global Super-nova Project (GSP) and YSE. After downloading the BANZAI-reduced images from the LCO data archive (McCully et al. 2018), we used photpipe (Rest et al. 2005) to perform DoPhot PSF photometry (Schechter et al. 1993). All photometry was calibrated using PS1 stellar catalogs described above with additional transformations to the SDSS *u* band derived from Finkbeiner et al. (2016). For additional details on our reductions, see Kilpatrick & Foley (2018). We also

obtained photometry using a 0.7 m Thai Robotic Telescope at Sierra Remote Observatories and the 1 m Nickel telescope at Lick Observatory in the BVRI bands. Images are bias subtracted and field flattened. Absolute photometry is obtained using stars in the $10' \times 10'$ field of view. We also observed objects with the Lulin 1 m telescope in griz bands and the Swope 1 m telescope in uBVgriz. Standard calibrations for bias and flat-fielding were performed on the images using IRAF, and we reduced the calibrated frames in photpipe using the methods described above for the LCO images.

Sample objects were also observed with ATLAS, a twin 0.5 m telescope system installed on Haleakala and Maunaloa in the Hawai’ian islands that robotically surveys the sky in cyan (c) and orange (o) filters (Tonry et al. 2018a). The survey images are processed as described by Tonry et al. (2018a) and photometrically and astrometrically calibrated immediately (using the RefCat2 catalog; Tonry et al. 2018b). Template generation, image-subtraction procedures, and identification of transient objects are described by Smith et al. (2020). PSF photometry is carried out on the difference images, and all detections more significant than $5\sigma$ are recorded and go through an automatic validation process that removes spurious objects (Smith et al. 2020). Photometry on the difference images (both forced and nonforced) is obtained from an automated PSF fitting as documented by Tonry et al. (2018a). The photometry presented here is derived from the weighted averages of the nightly individual 30 s exposures, carried out with forced photometry at the position of each SN. In addition to our observations, we include gri-band photometry from ZTF (Bellm et al. 2019; Graham et al. 2019) forced-photometry service (Masci et al. 2019).

In Figure 2, we present new Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS; Ricker et al. 2015) light curves of SNe 2019nvm and 2021dbg, reduced using the TESSreduce package (Ridden-Harper et al. 2021), compared to the previously published TESS light curve of SN 2020fqv (Tinyanont et al. 2022). These observations have been binned to a 6 hr cadence and are able to constrain the uncertainty in the time of first light to a few hours. To our knowledge, SN 2021dbg represents the first SN II with IIn-like features to have a complete TESS light curve.

For all SNe, the Milky Way (MW) V-band extinction and color excess along the SN line of sight are inferred using a standard Fitzpatrick (1999) reddening law ($R_V = 3.1$). In addition to the MW color excess, we estimate the contribution of host-galaxy extinction in the local SN environment using NaID absorption lines for all gold-, silver-, and comparison-sample objects. To determine if NaID is detected, we fit the continuum in a region around the transition based on the spectral resolution and calculate the residuals between the continuum fit and the spectral data. We then integrate the residual flux and confirm that it is greater than or equal to 3 times the residual flux uncertainty in order to claim a “detection.” We calculate the NaID equivalent width (EW) and use $A_V^{\text{host}} = (0.78 \pm 0.15) \text{ mag} \times (\text{EW}_{\text{NaID}}/\text{\AA})$ from Stritzinger et al. (2018) to convert these EWs to an intrinsic host-galaxy $E(B-V)$, also using the Fitzpatrick (1999) reddening law. A visualization of this method is shown in Figure A2 in the Appendix. For nondetections, we calculate an upper limit on the EW and host reddening using the fitted continuum flux. We present a detailed discussion of the host-extinction uncertainties in Appendix A. We do not apply

values to Na I D EW for other SNe (Hosseinzadeh et al. 2022).
We test whether the reddening values of the gold and
comparison samples come from the sample parent distribution
by applying a logrank test and finding a 35% chance
probability that the gold- and comparison-sample reddening
come from the same distribution. Therefore, there is no
statistical evidence that the extinction correction affects the two
subsamples differently and is thus not a source of differences
between the luminosity distribution of each subsamples (see

Section 3.1). We present cumulative distributions of the gold-, silver-, and comparison-sample host extinction in Figure A2, and, in Appendix A, we discuss the use of colors as a metric for host-galaxy reddening.

All adopted extinction (MW and host), redshift, distance, and first-light date values are reported for gold-, silver-, and comparison-sample objects in Table A1.

## 2.3. Spectroscopic Observations

We obtained spectra for sample objects with the Kast spectrograph on the 3 m Shane telescope at Lick Observatory (Miller & Stone 1993) and Keck/LRIS (Oke et al. 1995). For all of these spectroscopic observations, standard CCD processing and spectrum extraction were accomplished with IRAF.<fnref n="44" /> The data were extracted using the optimal algorithm of Horne (1986). Low-order polynomial fits to calibration-lamp spectra were used to establish the wavelength scale, and small adjustments derived from night-sky lines in the object frames were applied.

LCO optical spectra were taken with the FLOYDS spectro-
graphs (Brown et al. 2013) mounted on the 2 m Faulkes
Telescope North and South at Haleakala (USA) and Siding
Spring (Australia), respectively, through the GSP. A 2" slit was
placed on the target at the parallactic angle (Filippenko 1982).
One-dimensional spectra were extracted, reduced, and cali-
brated following standard procedures using the FLOYDS
pipeline<fnref n="45" /> (Valenti et al. 2014).

Spectra were also obtained with the Alhambra Faint Object Spectrograph on The Nordic Optical Telescope, the Goodman spectrograph (Clemens et al. 2004) at the Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) telescope, Gemini Multi-Object Spectrographs, Wide-Field Spectrograph at Siding Spring, Binospec on the MMT (Fabricant et al. 2019), Lijiang 2.4 m telescope (+YFOSC; Fan et al. 2015), and SpeX (Rayner et al. 2003) at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility. All of the spectra were reduced using standard techniques, which included correction for bias, overscan, and flat-field. Spectra of comparison lamps and standard stars acquired during the same night and with the same instrumental setting have been used for the wavelength and flux calibrations, respectively. When possible, we further removed the telluric bands using standard stars. Given the various instruments employed, the data-reduction steps described above have been applied using several instrument-specific routines. We used standard IRAF commands to extract all spectra.

Sample spectral data were also collected using EFOSC2 (Buzzoni et al. 1984) at the 3.58 m ESO New Technology Telescope through the ePESSTO+ program (Smartt et al. 2015). Standard data-reduction processes were performed using the PESSTO pipeline (Smartt et al. 2015).46 The reduced spectrum was then extracted, and calibrated in wavelength and flux. In some instances, public classification spectra from TNS as well as published data stored in WISEREP were used in the presented sample. Early time spectra for the gold and silver samples are presented in Figure 3, with comparison-sample spectra shown in Figure A1 in the Appendix. In total, this study

# 3. Analysis

## 3.1. Photometric Properties

We present extinction-corrected w2, m2, w1, u, b, v, g, r light curves of gold-, silver-, and comparison-sample objects in Figure 1. Given that the redshift/distance distributions of the gold and comparison samples are not the same, we divide sample objects based on a distance cut of $D > 40$ Mpc; this distance being the threshold when the distance distributions of both subsamples are consistent. In order to quantify the differences between the gold-sample classes and the comparison sample, we fit high-order polynomials to all light curves to derive a peak absolute magnitude and a rise time in all eight filters. These values are reported in Tables A3–A4, with the uncertainty in peak magnitude being the $1\sigma$ error from the fit, and the uncertainty in the peak phase being found from adding the uncertainties in both the time of peak magnitude and the time of first light in quadrature. We note that the prepeak evolution in the UV filters of some sample objects is unconstrained (e.g., Figure 1). For those objects with no constrained rise, we report the peak absolute magnitude and rise time as lower and upper limits, respectively.

As shown in Figure 4, we identify moderate positive trends between $M_{\text{peak}}$ and $t_{\text{rise}}$ in w2-, m2-, w1-, u-band filters, and we find that, while such trends are not as significant in b, g, v, r filters, there is still a difference between gold/silver and comparison samples in optical filters. Among gold-sample SNe, Class 1 objects display the brightest peak absolute magnitudes and longest rise times compared to Class 3 and comparison-sample objects. On average, gold-sample objects are >2 mag brighter in the UV bands than comparison-sample objects (e.g., $M_{\text{avg}}^{\text{W2}} = -19.5$ mag versus $M_{\text{avg}}^{\text{W2}} = -17.1$ mag), even after a distance cut is applied, suggesting a significant luminosity boost from CSM interaction at early times. Furthermore, the w2-v and g-r colors plotted in Figure 5 show that gold-sample objects, in particular Class 1 SNe, are bluer at earlier times than comparison-sample objects. Additionally, most Class 1/2 objects sustain blue colors ($g-r<0$) longer than the comparison sample, suggesting continued interaction with more distant CSM that is at higher densities than a typical RSG wind. Similarly, the plateau luminosities of Class 1/2 objects remain higher than the control sample, also indicating long-lived interaction power.

In Figure 6, we present pseudobolometric UV/optical/NIR (UVOIR) light curves of the gold/silver- and comparison-sample objects generated using the superbol<fnref n="48" /> code. For all SNe, we extrapolate between light-curve data points using a low-order polynomial spline in regions without complete color information. Repeating the analysis used for the multiband light curves, we calculate peak pseudobolometric luminosities and rise times; these values are presented in Table A3. For objects without a constrained rise to peak in all UV filters (i.e., w2, m2, w1), we report peak luminosities and rise times as lower and upper limits, respectively. As shown in Figure 6, we find a significant trend between peak UVOIR luminosities and

rise time to maximum light; this is similar to UV filters discussed above and indicates that the majority of the flux at early times is focused in the UV bands, especially with the presence of ejecta-CSM interaction. Furthermore, we find that gold/silver-sample objects can be more than 1 order of magnitude more luminous at peak than comparison-sample SNe (e.g., Table A5), also suggesting excess luminosity from CSM interaction.

In Figure 7, we present the cumulative distributions of maximum brightness and rise times for the pseudobolometric, w2-band, and r-band light curves of the gold/silver and comparison samples that are constructed using Kaplan-Meier estimation for all objects at $D > 40$ Mpc. To test our null hypothesis of whether these sample observables come from the same parent distribution, we apply a logrank test for (i) gold versus comparison samples, (ii) gold-sample Classes 1 and 2 versus 3, and (iii) gold-sample Classes 1 versus 3. Limits on the peak luminosity and rise time are accounted for using survival statistics. For (i), the chance probability that peak-brightness values of the gold and comparison samples come from the same distribution is 0.1% for $L_{\text{max}}$, 80.0% for $M_{w2,max}$, and $3 \times 10^{-3}\%$ for $M_{r,max}$. We find that the pseudobolometric, UV, and r-band rise times between samples do belong to the same distribution at the 60.6%, 7.1%, and 55.6% levels, respectively. For (ii), the null-hypothesis probability for pseudobolometric, UV, and r-band peak brightness (rise time) is 23.1(1.67)%, 73.3(1.9)%, and 69.4(83.3)%, respectively. For (iii), the null-hypothesis probability for pseudobolometric, UV, and r-band peak brightness (rise time) is 17.3(0.24)%, 92.6(1.51)%, and 46.6(60.1)%, respectively. Therefore, we conclude that the gold sample is significantly more luminous than the comparison sample in bolometric and optical light curves, but luminosity differences within the classes of the gold sample are not statistically significant. Given the large number of limits present in the w2-band light curves, peak UV luminosity differences between gold and comparison samples cannot be claimed as significant. Furthermore, there is evidence that the differences in bolometric and UV rise times between Classes 1 and 2 versus 3, as well as Class 1 versus 3, are statistically significant. However, differences in the rise time between all other groups are not statistically significant.

## 3.2. Spectroscopic Properties

We present single epoch, “flash” spectroscopy of the gold/silver and comparison samples in Figures 3 and A1, respectively, with complete spectral series shown for each object in the supplementary, online-only text. As discussed in Section 2.1, the blue (Class 1), yellow (Class 2), and red (Class 3) color delineation is based on the structure of the He II λ4686 line, which is shown in detail for all gold/silver-sample objects in Figure 8. As illustrated in Figure 9, the IIn-like features of semiisolated (i.e., unblended) transitions such as $H\alpha$ can be modeled with a two-component Lorentzian, which includes a narrow component that provides an upper limit on the CSM velocity (due to likely radiative acceleration) and a broad component that forms from electron scattering of recombination-line photons in the optically thick unshocked CSM. The physical origin of the He II λ4686 profile is slightly more complex and can be modeled with a high-velocity, blueshifted, full width at half-maximum intensity (FWHM) $\approx 10^4$ km s⁻¹ component representing fast-moving material in the CDS and/or outer ejecta, plus a narrow, and possibly electron-scattering

We note that the model parameters do not cover the dynamical range of the observations, which will influence the derivation of CSM properties for some objects (Section 4). Furthermore, in the UV bands, the data show significantly larger variance than the models, which follow a well-defined trend. This likely indicates a dependence on a variable not included in the models.</figcaption></figure>

broadened, emission at the central wavelength for Class 2 and 3 objects (e.g., 2014G and 2013fs; Figure 9). However, Class 1 objects (e.g., 2020pni; 9) require multiple narrow and electron-scattering emission components of He II and N III, which may be superimposed on an underlying, blueshifted He II profile, the same as Classes 2 and 3 (e.g., see Dessart et al. 2017).

As confirmed by our sample, the narrow, symmetric line profiles with Lorentzian wings caused by electron scattering (i.e., IIn-like) can persist for days after first light. After these phases, the SNe develop broad P-Cygni profiles in all Balmer transitions as a result of the escape of photons from the fast-moving ejecta and a decrease in CSM density. We therefore define the duration of the IIn-like features (i.e., *t*<sub>IIn</sub>) as the transition point at which the unshocked CSM optical depth to electron scattering has dropped enough to see the emerging

fast-moving SN ejecta (Dessart & Jacobson-Galán 2023; Jacobson-Galán et al. 2023). This evolution is shown in Figure 10 for gold-sample SNe 2013fs, 2017ahn, and 2018zd, all of which have high enough spectral cadence to allow for a precise observation of the fading of the IIn-like features. We use this transition to calculate *t*<sub>IIn</sub> and its uncertainty, which is derived from the cadence of the spectral observations. For gold/silver-sample objects without a sufficiently high spectral cadence to confidently estimate *t*<sub>IIn</sub>, we use spectral comparisons to SNe 2013fs, 2017ahn, and 2018zd to derive a IIn-like feature duration timescale by extrapolating phase measurements and assuming that the spectral evolution is consistent with the SNe used for reference. The uncertainty of *t*<sub>IIn</sub> from spectral comparison is added in quadrature with the uncertainty in the time of first light for each sample object. For

Solid colored curves represent the subsample of objects at $D > 40$ Mpc. Gold- and silver-sample objects, in particular the Class 1 objects, show significantly bluer colors than Class 2/3 or comparison-sample objects, which is indicative of increased temperatures from persistent CSM interaction.

comparison-sample objects, which do not show IIn-like features, we take the phase of their earliest spectrum to be an upper limit on $t_{IIn}$. All $t_{IIn}$ values are presented in Table A6.

In Figures 6 and 11, we plot $t_{IIn}$ with respect to the peak luminosity for all UV, optical, and pseudobolometric light curves. We find a moderate positive trend between peak luminosity and $t_{IIn}$ in w2-, m2-, w1-, u-, b-band filters, which is similar to the rise-time trends shown in Figure 4. While the peak absolute magnitude in optical v-, g-, r-band filters reveals a more obvious trend with $t_{IIn}$ than $t_{rise}$, their correlation can only be claimed as tentative. A similar trend is found in Bruch et al. (2023) between the duration of narrow He II emission and g-band peak magnitude. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 6, peak pseudobolometric luminosities and the duration of IIn-like features are moderately correlated. Among the gold/silver samples, Class 1 objects consistently show the highest peak luminosities across wavelengths, coupled with a longer duration of observed IIn-like features, indicating ejecta–CSM interaction with denser, and likely more extended, CSM than Class 2/3 objects (e.g., see Figures 7 and 13).

As the IIn-like features fade, all gold/silver-sample objects transition into standard SNe II with Doppler-broadened, blueshifted P Cygni features of the fast-moving, H-rich ejecta. In Figure 12, we present photospheric velocities calculated from the absorption minima of Hα and Fe II λ5169 transitions for gold-, silver-, and comparison-sample objects. Overall, there is some spread in Hα velocities among gold/silver-sample objects with a few Class 1 SNe displaying slower velocities ($v \approx 5000–8000$ km s⁻¹) than Classes 2/3 ($v > 10^4$ km s⁻¹). However, in general, we find little difference in the Hα and Fe II velocities found in the absorption minima between gold/silver and comparison sample from $\delta t \approx 10–100$ days.

# 4. Modeling

## 4.1. HERACLES/CMFGEN Model Grid

In order to quantify the CSM properties in our gold, silver, and comparison samples, we compared the spectral and photometric properties of all SNe to a model grid of radiation hydrodynamics and non-LTE, radiative-transfer simulations covering a wide range of progenitor mass-loss rates ($\dot{M} = 10^{-6}–10^0 M_\odot$ yr⁻¹; $v_w = 50$ km s⁻¹), maximum radii of dense CSM ($R = 10^{14}–10^{16}$ cm), and CSM densities at $10^{14}$ cm ($\rho_{14} = 10^{-16}–7.3 \times 10^{-11}$ g cm⁻³), all in spherical symmetry.

Simulations of the SN ejecta–CSM interaction were performed with the multigroup radiation-hydrodynamics code HERACLES (González et al. 2007; Vaytet et al. 2011; Dessart et al. 2015), which consistently computes the radiation field and hydrodynamics. Then, at selected snapshots in time postexplosion, the hydrodynamical variables are imported into the non-LTE radiative-transfer code CMFGEN (Hillier & Dessart 2012; Dessart et al. 2015) for an accurate calculation of the radiative transfer, which includes a complete model atom, $\sim 10^6$ frequency points, a proper handling of the complex, nonmonotonic velocity field, and treatment of continuum and line processes as well as electron scattering. For each model, we adopt an explosion energy of $1.2 \times 10^{51}$ erg, a $15 M_\odot$ progenitor with a radius in the range $R_* \approx 500–700 R_\odot$, and a CSM composition set to the surface mixture of an RSG progenitor (Davies & Dessart 2019).

For the simulations presented in this work, the CSM extent is much greater than $R_*$ ($\sim 500–1200 R_\odot$ for an RSG mass range of $\sim 10–20 M_\odot$), and therefore, we have found that the progenitor properties have little impact during phases of ejecta–CSM interaction. The progenitor radius plays a more significant role on the light-curve evolution during the plateau phase (e.g., see Dessart et al. 2013; Hiramatsu et al. 2021; Jacobson-Galán et al. 2022), once the interaction phase is over, and the emission from the deeper ejecta layers dominate the SN luminosity. However, in scenarios with weak CSM interaction, the explosion energy will greatly influence the total luminosity, which could be contributing to the brighter pseudobolometric and UV luminosities in comparison-sample events (e.g., Figures 1 and 6). Specific methods for each simulation are given by Dessart et al. (2016, 2017), Jacobson-Galán et al. (2022), Dessart & Jacobson-Galán (2023), and Jacobson-Galán et al. (2023); all CSM properties of each model are presented in Table A2. CSM densities for all models are shown in Figure 14, which primarily differ at radii above the stellar surface, $r > 4 \times 10^{13}$ cm.

In order to identify a best-matched $\dot{M}$ and $\rho_{14}$ for all sample objects, we employ three independent methods of matching observables to the model grid. (1) We use the rise times, peak absolute magnitudes, and $t_{IIn}$ to construct a three-dimensional rms between each model for all eight UV/optical filters and the pseudobolometric light curve. We then select the best-matched model for a given filter (as well as pseudobolometric) based on the lowest resulting rms, [((M$_{data}$ − M$_{model}$)/M$_{model}$)$^2$ + $((t_{r,\text{data}} – t_{r,\text{model}})/t_{r,\text{model}})$$^2$ + $((t_{\text{IIn,\text{data}} – t_{\text{IIn,\text{model}}})/t_{\text{IIn,\text{model}}})$]$^{0.5}$. This

Solid colored points/curves represent the subsample of objects at $D > 40$ Mpc. The CSM interaction present in SNe II with IIn signatures can create more than an order of magnitude luminosity excess beyond SNe II in low-density CSM.

method results in $N+1$ mass-loss inferences: $N$ filters plus the pseudobolometric light curve. The range of mass-loss rates and CSM densities for all filters are presented in Table A7 and plotted in the left panels of Figure 15. For this method, we do not incorporate the relative uncertainties in peak luminosities and rise times, but instead report the range of best-matched model parameters as the uncertainty in the derived $\dot{M}$ and $\rho_{14}$. However, as discussed in Section 3.1, the peak absolute magnitude and rise times, especially in UV filters, are unconstrained in some sample objects, which will influence the best-matched model parameters. For such objects, we use upper limit or the ill-constrained peak and rise-time values reported in Table A3 in the above rms relation, but note that the output model parameters may only represent limits on the true CSM properties in these SNe. (2) We minimize the residuals between only $t_{II\text{n}}$ estimates for each object in order to find the best-matched model in the grid, which is plotted in the middle panels of Figure 15 with error bars on mass-loss/density estimates

coming from uncertainties in the given $t_{II\text{n}}$ values. (3) We perform direct spectral matching of CMFGEN synthetic spectra to gold-, silver-, and comparison-sample objects in order to estimate the most consistent mass-loss rates and CSM densities. To do this, we degrade the synthetic spectrum to the resolution of the SN spectrum and scale the average flux of each model spectrum to the observations over the wavelength range of the optical spectrum, and calculate the residuals in flux density between model and data in the wavelength ranges that cover emission lines of the H I Balmer series, He II $\lambda\lambda4686$, 5412, N III $\lambda4641$, N IV $\lambda7112$, and C IV $\lambda5801$. For each sample object, we estimate a best-matched mass-loss rate and CSM density (right panels of Figures 15) by selecting the model with the smallest average residual (i.e., $\bar{\Delta}_{II\text{n}}$) between model and SN spectra in all IIn-like feature wavelength ranges. However, we note that the best-matched model spectrum may not reproduce the intrinsic continuum flux of the SN data despite overall consistency with the observed IIn-like features.

Distinct distributions are present in the peak bolometric and optical luminosities for gold-sample objects compared to the comparison-sample SNe, which is most likely due to the effects of CSM interaction on the early time light curves.</figcaption></figure>

Similarly, the best-matched model using method 1 may not match the SN light-curve shape on the rise despite consistency with peak brightness and rise time. We discuss inconsistencies between model-matching methods below as well as future improvements to the grid in Section 5.2.

Below, we discuss the resulting mass-loss rates and CSM densities derived for each model-matching method. We find that gold/silver-sample objects with visible IIn-like features reside in a parameter space of progenitor CSM densities of ~$10^{-16}-10^{-11}$ g cm⁻³ ($\dot{M} \approx 10^{-6}-10^{-1} M_\odot$ yr⁻¹, $v_w = 50$ km s⁻¹) when comparing rise times, peak absolute magnitudes, and $t_{\text{IIn}}$ to the model grid (i.e., methods 1 and 2). However, this parameter space becomes more constrained to ~$5 \times 10^{-14}-10^{-11}$ g cm⁻³ ($\dot{M} \approx 10^{-3}-10^{-1} M_\odot$ yr⁻¹, $v_w = 50$ km s⁻¹) when using a direct spectral matching method (i.e., method 3). With regards to subdivisions of the gold and silver samples, the Class 1 objects show the highest mass-loss rates of $\dot{M} \approx 5 \times 10^{-3}-10^{-1} M_\odot$ yr⁻¹, Class 2 objects show low to intermediate mass-loss rates of $\dot{M} \approx 10^{-6}-10^{-2} M_\odot$ yr⁻¹, and Class 3 objects display generally lower mass-loss rates of $\dot{M} \approx 10^{-6}-10^{-3} M_\odot$ yr⁻¹. Furthermore, comparison-sample objects that have no detected IIn-like features at $\delta t < 2$ days are consistent with overall low mass-loss rates of $\dot{M} \approx 10^{-6}-10^{-3} M_\odot$ yr⁻¹. Across all three model-matching methods, the average $\dot{M}$ derived is consistent to within an order of magnitude (e.g., see Figure A6 in the Appendix). However, there are instances where mass-loss rates derived from some peak magnitudes or rise times in method 1 are inconsistent with what would be inferred from methods 2 and 3 involving $t_{\text{IIn}}$ and direct spectral matching. For example, many of the

Class 3 objects have $\dot{M}$ ranges of ~$10^{-6}-10^{-2.3} M_\odot$ yr⁻¹ based on method 1, but have more constrained estimates of ~$10^{-3}-10^{-2.3} M_\odot$ yr⁻¹ based on methods 2 and 3 that are inconsistent with the lower $\dot{M}$ values. This is caused by similar peak absolute magnitudes and/or rise times across models in optical filters as well as the low resolution of the model grid in general. With future grids, the incorporation of additional explosion parameters such as a variable kinetic energy will provide more self-consistent results between model-matching methods.

As shown in Figure 15, there is a clear trend between the $t_{\text{IIn}}$ parameter and derived mass-loss rates or CSM densities for both gold/silver- and comparison-sample objects. We then fit a linear function to the mass-loss rates and $t_{\text{IIn}}$ from the model grid and overplot the function as black dashed lines in Figure 15. This relation between the duration of the electron-scattering line profiles and the inferred mass-loss rate, in units of $M_\odot$ yr⁻¹, goes as $t_{\text{IIn}} \approx 3.8[\dot{M}/(0.01 M_\odot \text{yr}^{-1})]$ days. We note that this correlation is valid for the chosen explosion and progenitor parameters.

Additionally, we calculate the velocities of the fastest moving H-rich ejecta that we can detect at $\delta t = 50$ days by examination of the bluest (reddest) edge of the absorption (emission) profiles in H$\alpha$. However, we note that there is likely faster, optically thin H-rich material that we cannot detect in these spectra, and, therefore, these estimates provide a lower limit on the velocity of the fastest ejecta. We then compare to model predictions from Dessart & Jacobson-Galán (2023) for the deceleration of ejecta as a function of total mass in the CDS, which is also connected to the mass-loss rate. From a

Class 2 (shown in yellow) and Class 3 (shown in red) objects show only He II emission, with the former having stronger emission lines that last longer. Class 3 objects may represent transitional SNe between the comparison and gold/silver samples given their weak narrow He II emission superimposed on a blueshifted He II profile, the latter being seen in comparison-sample objects (e.g., Figure A1).</figcaption></figure>

The transition between these two phases is the basis for calculating the $t_{II\text{n}}$ parameter.

3, mass-loss rates inferred for gold/silver-sample objects from direct spectral matching are larger than those that are estimated from the fastest moving ejecta. This potentially suggests a degree of CSM asymmetry that would keep some fraction of the ejecta from being decelerated by dense CSM at early times, as is predicted by CMFGEN models for spherically symmetric CSM.

## 4.2. Additional Model Grids

In order to better explore the parameter space of ejecta–CSM interaction in SNe II, we perform the same spectral matching analysis as above but with the public<fnref n="49" /> grid of CMFGEN models presented by Boian & Groh (2020). This model grid consists of 137 synthetic spectra with varying CSM compositions (e.g., solar metallicity, CNO-enriched, He rich), mass-loss rates ($\dot{M} = 10^{-3}-10^{-2} M_{\odot} yr^{-1}$), inner radii of the interaction region ($R_{\text{in}} = 8 \times 10^{13}-3.2 \times 10^{14}$ cm), and SN luminosity ($L_{\text{SN}} = 1.9 \times 10^{8}-2.5 \times 10^{10} L_{\odot}$). These models impose an optically

thick wind in radiative equilibrium, assume steady state, and have an input luminosity, CSM radius, and mass-loss rate at a given time step. Furthermore, these models contain no radiation hydrodynamics, and all of the CSM remains unshocked/unaccelerated at all phases. Similar to our presented model grid, we scale each model spectrum to the observations over the wavelength range of the optical spectrum and calculate the minimum average residual in wavelength regions of II\text{n}-like features (i.e., $\Delta_{II\text{n}}$). An example of this matching process is shown for SN 2020abjq in Figure 17, and all best-matched model parameters for gold and silver samples are listed in Table A7 and plotted in Figure 17.

We find rough agreement between the mass-loss rates derived from the Boian & Groh (2020) grid and our own: 20 out of 39 objects having mass-loss rates that are consistent to within 50%. However, the Boian & Groh (2020) grid does not explore a sufficiently large range of CSM properties (e.g., $\dot{M} > 10^{-2} M_{\odot} yr^{-1}$, $\dot{M} < 10^{-3} M_{\odot} yr^{-1}$, $R_{\text{CSM}} > 3 \times 10^{14}$ cm), so these mass-loss estimates may be more biased by the model grid. Furthermore, the Boian & Groh (2020) model spectra only cover the phases of $\delta t = 1.0–3.7$ days

(assuming a shock velocity of 10⁴ km s⁻¹) and also do not create synthetic multiband and bolometric light curves to compare with the sample photometry. Nonetheless, the advantage of this model grid is the variety of CSM compositions explored.

In addition to the Boian & Groh (2020) spectral models, we also apply a grid of synthetic light curves for SBO from dense CSM presented by Haynie & Piro (2021). The model grid contains 168 multiband light curves created with the LTE, Lagrangian radiative-transfer code SNEC (Morozova et al. 2015) for varying mass-loading parameter $D_* = M/(4\pi v_w) = 8 \times 10^{16}-10^{18}$ g cm⁻¹, explosion energy ($E_k = (0.3-3.0) \times 10^{51}$ erg), and CSM radius ($R_{CSM} = 1500-2700$ R⊙). For all objects in the gold/silver and comparison samples, we find the most consistent model by minimizing the residuals between the synthetic light curves and the observed UVOIR photometry at $\delta t < 20$ days. First light in these models is assumed to be when the synthetic absolute magnitude rises above −12 mag.

Furthermore, we note that the uncertainty in the time of first light associated with each sample object could lead to uncertainties in the model parameters derived from the best-matched model light curves. However, these uncertainties are not large enough to impact the overall model trend observed in Figure 18. An example of a best-match light-curve model to Class 2 gold-sample object SN 2022jox is shown in the left panel of Figure 18; all derived model parameters are listed in Table A7.

As shown in Figure 18, the CSM properties inferred from the best-matched SNEC light curves are inconsistent with those derived from both CMFGEN model grids. For example, the best-matched light-curve model from Haynie & Piro (2021) implies $D_*[R_{CSM}] = 10^{18}$ g cm⁻¹[1900 R⊙] for SN 2013fs, similar to what was found in Morozova et al. (2017), which is several orders of magnitude higher than the most consistent CMFGEN model for this SN (e.g., $D_* \approx 10^{15}$ g cm⁻¹). Similarly, the distribution of $D_*$ values derived for the comparison sample

is consistent with the distribution of $D_*$ values found by Morozova et al. (2018; e.g., ~$10^{17-18}$ g cm⁻¹) when modeling the light curves of normal SNe II with SNEC. However, the large densities derived from SNEC models ($\rho_{14} \approx 10^{-10}$ g cm⁻³) would imply mean free paths of $l_{mfp} \approx 3 \times 10^{10}$ cm for close-in CSM, ~$2R_*$.

Such mean free paths are much smaller than the size of extended CSM (~$10^{14}-10^{15}$ cm); therefore, electron-scattered photons created from photoionized gas would never escape the CSM to create the IIn-like features observed in the optical spectra while the shock wave is inside of this part of the CSM. Furthermore, at these densities, the ionization parameter will be >10 (i.e., $\xi = L_{\text{sh}}/nr^2$), indicating that the gas will be completely ionized (Lundqvist & Fransson 1996; Chevalier & Irwin 2012). As shown by Dessart & Jacobson-Galán (2023), SBO into CSM densities this large will trap the photons stored in

# 5. Discussion

## 5.1. A Continuum of RSG Mass-loss Rates

In Section 4.1, we presented three independent model-matching methods used to derive mass-loss rates and CSM densities for 39 SNe II (gold/silver samples) with IIn-like features as well as for 35 SNe II without such spectral signatures. In the total sample, we find significant diversity among the mass-loss rates and CSM

Solid colored points represent the subsample of objects at $D > 40$ Mpc. SNe 1998S and 2023ixf are shown for reference as a magenta triangle and blue star, respectively. Mass-loss rates were estimated for each object based on comparison of (left) multiband photometry and $t_{II\text{m}}$, (middle) only $t_{II\text{m}}$, and (right) early time spectra, to the CMFGEN model grid. Specifics of feature matching and selection of the best model are presented in Section 4.1. A linear relation between $t_{II\text{m}}$ and $M$ (black dashed line) is derived from fitting model parameters used in the CMFGEN grid (i.e., the correlations shown are built into our model grid).</figcaption></figure>

densities in SNe II, which is intrinsically tied to the distributions of observables between gold/silver and comparison samples such as peak brightness and rise times in their pseudobolometric/UV/optical light curves as well as the duration of the IIn-like features.

Assuming that all gold-, silver-, and comparison-sample objects arise from the explosion of RSGs, this suggests a continuum of mass-loss histories in the final years to months before explosion: Class 1/2 objects (e.g., SNe 20tlf-like, 20pni-like, 98S-like,

Numbers in the bottom panel are the residuals between data and model spectra in the wavelength ranges of IIn-like features ($\Delta_{\text{IIn}}$).

14G-like) being associated with RSGs having enhanced mass-loss rates of $\dot{M} \approx 10^{-3}-10^{-1} M_{\odot} yr^{-1}$ and potentially extended dense CSM ($r \approx 10^{15}-10^{16}$ cm), while Class 3 objects (e.g., SN 2013fs-like) may be the result of RSG explosions with lower-density ($\dot{M} \approx 10^{-3}-10^{-4} M_{\odot} yr^{-1}$), possibly compact ($r < 5 \times 10^{14}$ cm) CSM. Given the lack of IIn-like features at very early time phases in comparison-sample objects, these SNe need to arise from RSGs with similar or lower mass-loss rates than Class 3 objects ($\dot{M} < 10^{-4} M_{\odot} yr^{-1}$), which may make them more consistent with the weak, steady-state mass-loss rates of Galactic RSGs (e.g., $\dot{M} < 10^{-6} M_{\odot} yr^{-1}$; Beasor et al. 2020) or highly confined CSM (i.e., $<10^{14}$ cm) at the time of explosion. Nonetheless, the presence of high-density material directly above the RSG surface may be a universal property of SN II progenitors in order to explain fast-rising light curves (e.g., Morozova et al. 2017).

## 5.2. Future Improvements to HERACLES/CMFGEN Grids

While the differences in $t_{\text{IIn}}$, as well as possibly UV $M_{\text{peak}}$, are physically linked to differences in CSM density between the gold/silver and comparison samples, the extraction of $\dot{M}$ and $\rho_{14}$ estimates from a comparison to the HERACLES/CMFGEN model grid comes with some assumptions about the physics of the explosion and CSM structure/origin. For the former, this present grid only explores one progenitor mass/radius and explosion energy, which could have an effect on observables such as $t_{\text{rise}}$ and $M_{\text{peak}}$; future HERACLES/CMFGEN grids will explore this parameter space in more detail. For the latter, some models in the present grid assume a homogeneous, spherically symmetric CSM with a wind-like density profile, all of which could be potential sources of uncertainty in extracting true mass-loss rates from the present sample. However, some models (e.g., from Dessart et al. 2023) have varying CSM scale heights as well as different degrees of CSM acceleration. Additionally, the present model grid uses a CSM composition typical of $15 M_{\odot}$ RSGs (Davies & Dessart 2019), which could be varied in future models.

We are also aware of CSM asymmetries from polarization measurements of SNe II during the photoionization phase

(e.g., SN 1998S, Leonard et al. 2000; SN 2023ixf, Vasylyev et al. 2023), which suggest that, there, the CSM is denser along certain lines of sight. Such a physical picture could account for discrepancies between the mass-loss rates inferred from the fastest detectable $H\alpha$ velocities (e.g., Figure 12) and those estimated from the model grid for Class 1/2 objects in the gold/silver samples. In this case, high mass-loss rates (e.g., $\sim 10^{-2} M_{\odot} yr^{-1}$) could still be inferred from electron scattering of recombination photons in dense parts of CSM, while lower-density material along different lines of sight would still allow typical ejecta velocities of $\sim 10^4 \text{ km s}^{-1}$, with little to no deceleration by dense CSM. This physical picture may also be able to explain the discrepancies in the derived mass-loss rates between UV/optical versus X-ray/radio observations of SN 2023ixf (Berger et al. 2023; Chandra et al. 2024; Grefenstette et al. 2023; Jacobson-Galán et al. 2023; Matthews et al. 2023; Nayana et al. 2024, in prep.). Furthermore, a deviation from a steady-state CSM density profile ($\rho \propto r^{-2}$) in these models may be necessary to adequately match the early time light-curve slope (e.g., SN 2023ixf; Jacobson-Galán et al. 2023; Hiramatsu et al. 2023). For example, SBO from close-in ($r < 10^{14}$ cm) high-density CSM as in the SNEC model grid (e.g., Section 4.2) followed by interaction with lower-density material would yield both the fast-rising, luminous light curves and the observation of IIn-like features in some SNe II.

## 5.3. Implications of Photometry-only Modeling

As shown in Figure 18, the extraction of SN II mass-loss-rate information can yield discrepant results if photometric information is used independently from early time spectroscopic observations. Here, CSM densities inferred from light-curve matching using a grid of SNEC models (Haynie & Piro 2021) are too high to allow for the escape of recombination-line photons in the CSM and the formation of IIn-like features. Consequently, without early time spectroscopy, calculated mass-loss rates and densities close-in to the RSG progenitor (e.g., $<10^{15}$ cm) may be inconsistent with the presence of narrow emission lines in CSM-interacting SNe II. Similarly, some studies invoke large CSM masses of
<figure><img src="image_21.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 18.** Top left: Multiband photometry of Class 2 gold-sample object SN 2022jox compared to the most consistent CSM interaction model from the grid presented by Haynie & Piro (2021). Despite the overall match to the photometry, the high CSM densities (e.g., $\rho_{14} \approx 10^{-10}$ g cm$^{-3}$) required by this model would not allow for the formation of the IIn-like features observed in SN 2022jox. Specifics of model matching for the complete sample are presented in Section 4.2.

~0.1–0.5 $M_\odot$, confined to $<10^{14}$ cm, in order to match model light curves to early time SNe II observations (Morozova et al. 2017; Tinyanont et al. 2022; Subrayan et al. 2023). However, as shown by Dessart & Jacobson-Galán (2023), reproducing the enhanced peak UV/optical luminosity in some early time SN II light curves can also be accomplished with ~10% of these CSM masses. Nevertheless, the early time light curves of some SNe II may be influenced by high-density, extended mass, but such explosions can only display IIn-like features during these phases if there are also regions of lower-density material via CSM asymmetry or inhomogeneity. It is likely that there is a combination of effects present: (1) SBO from extended envelope and/or high-density CSM located at $<2R_*$ (e.g., Haynie & Piro 2021), and (2) an interaction with lower-density CSM that results in the formation of IIn-like features and increased luminosity. A similar picture is

proposed in Irani et al. (2023) from the light-curve modeling of SNe II with and without IIn-like features, the former requiring larger breakout radii than the latter. Furthermore, it is worth noting that large amounts of spherically symmetric CSM will cause significant deceleration to the fastest moving SN ejecta; this is an observable that could confirm the existence of such CSM properties (Hillier & Dessart 2019). Overall, the combination of photometric and spectroscopic modeling is essential in order to probe both high- and low-density components of CSM in SNe II.

## 6. Conclusions

In this paper, we have presented UVOIR observations and modeling of the largest sample to date of SNe II with spectroscopic evidence for CSM interaction. Below, we
summarize the primary observational findings from our sample analysis.

1. Our sample consists of 39 SNe II whose early time (“flash”) spectroscopy shows transient, narrow emission lines with electron-scattering wings (i.e., IIn-like) from the photoionization of dense, confined CSM. The total gold/silver sample contains 39 SNe II, 27 of which are unpublished, and includes 501 total spectra (293 previously unpublished) and 39 UVOIR light curves (27 previously unpublished). The IIn-like features persist on a characteristic timescale ($t_{IIn}$), which signals a transition in CSM density and the emergence of Doppler-broadened features from the fast-moving SN ejecta.

2. Within the total 74 objects, the “gold” sample contains 20 SNe with both early time IIn-like features, complete UV coverage with Swift-UVOT, and spectral observations at $\delta t < 2$ days. The “silver” sample contains 19 SNe that have detectable IIn-like features, complete UV coverage with Swift-UVOT, and spectral observations only at $\delta t > 2$ days. We divide the gold/silver samples into three classes based on their early time ($t < 3$ day) spectra: Class 1 shows high-ionization lines of He II, N III, and C IV (e.g., SNe 1998S, 2020pni, 2020tlf, 2023ixf, etc), Class 2 shows high-ionization lines He II and C IV but not N III (e.g., SNe 2014G, 2022jox), and Class 3 shows only weak He II (e.g., SN 2013fs). Additionally, we include a “comparison” sample of 35 SNe II that have optical spectra at $t < 2$ days with no IIn-like features as well as a complete UV/optical light curve. Furthermore, Class 1 objects show the longest IIn-like feature timescales (i.e., $t_{IIn} \approx 2–14$ days), while Class 2 and 3 objects displayed shorter-lived emission lines of $t_{IIn} < 4$ days and $t_{IIn} < 2$ days, respectively. We interpret this diversity as arising from variations in CSM extent and density: Class 1 objects arise from RSGs with more extended, higher-density CSM than Class 2/3 or the comparison samples.

3. We find a significant contrast between the peak optical and pseudobolometric luminosities in the gold versus comparison samples. We also identify clear correlations between peak UV/optical luminosity and both rise time and $t_{IIn}$. Furthermore, as discussed in Section 3.1, logrank tests on these observables reveal that the peak pseudobolometric and optical luminosities of both samples are likely derived from separate distributions. The difference between subsamples remains statistically significant after a distance cut ($D > 40$ Mpc) is applied.

4. We apply a grid of ejecta/CSM interaction models, generated with the CMFGEN and HERACLES codes, to extract best-matching mass-loss rates and CSM densities for the gold, silver, and comparison samples. Based on three independent model-matching procedures, we find a continuum of RSG mass-loss rates that extends from $\sim 10^{-6}$ to $10^{-1} M_{\odot}yr^{-1}$. From this model set, we derive an approximate relation between the duration of the electron-scattering broadened line profiles and inferred mass-loss rate: $t_{IIn} \approx 3.8[\dot{M}/(0.01 M_{\odot}yr^{-1})]$ days.

Beyond the early time data presented in this work, future studies (e.g., “Final Moments III-”) will explore the progenitor and explosion properties of this sample through modeling of their late-time photometric and spectroscopic evolution, as well

as multiwavelength (e.g., X-ray/radio) observations. Now that a sample of SNe II with IIn-like features has been compiled and examined in detail, it is essential to create new, high-resolution grids of HERACLES/CMFGEN simulations that can be used together to constrain the CSM properties of such events. Future model grids will provide a more accurate coverage of the CSM interaction parameter space and uncover deficiencies in our model approach (e.g., asymmetries, multidimensional effects, etc.). Furthermore, it is important to build spectroscopically complete, volume-limited surveys that will include systematically discover and classify SNe II within days of first light, therefore reducing biases in follow-up observations and subsequent modeling of certain events. Such discovery efforts will enable volumetric rate measurements of enhanced mass loss in the final years of RSG evolution.

## Appendix

Here, we present SN properties for all gold-, silver-, and comparison-sample objects in Table A1. Model properties for all HERACLES/CMFGEN simulations are listed in Table A2. In Tables A3 and A4, we present photometric properties of all gold- and comparison-sample objects after correcting for MW and host reddening. Table A5 gives gold- and comparison-sample peak luminosity and rise-time distributions. Spectroscopic properties of the gold sample are listed in Table A6. In Table A7, we present best-matching model parameters for all gold-, silver-, and comparison-sample objects. Logs of optical/NIR spectroscopic observations of all unpublished gold-, silver-, and comparison-sample objects are provided in Table A8. All multicolor/bolometric light curves, spectral sequences, and best-matching light-curve and spectral models are shown for each gold-, silver-, and comparison-sample object in the supplementary pages.<fnref n="50" />

Early-time comparison-sample spectra are shown in Figure A1. In Figure A2, we present the redshift distribution and examples of extinction correction methods. In Figure A3, we present absolute magnitudes versus host extinction. In Figure A4, we present colors as a function of SN phase for the complete sample. In Figure A5, we present peak absolute magnitude as a function of SN distance. In Figure A6, we present comparisons of model matching methods.

## Appendix A
### Host-galaxy Extinction Uncertainty

The host-galaxy extinction for sample objects is estimated by measuring the EW of the NaID line and converting it to a host $E(B-V)$ using the relation derived by Stritzinger et al. (2018). We also test the relations between EW and host extinction from Poznanski et al. (2012) and find that, for the total sample, that relation returns average [min,max] $E(B-V)_{\text{host}}$ values of 2.3[0.014, 87.0] compared to 0.19[0.018, 0.81] when using Stritzinger et al. (2018). We choose to adopt the Stritzinger et al. (2018) relation given the large scatter associated with the Poznanski et al. (2012) relations (e.g., see Phillips et al. 2013) and inaccuracy of the latter at large EWs due to limited number of objects used in their fitting procedure. In Figure A2, we present the cumulative distributions of the host $E(B-V)$ values as well as the observed $g-r$ color versus NaID EW. For the latter, we note that there is a large scatter relative to the Stritzinger et al. (2018) relation, i.e., gold/silver-sample objects are bluer than comparison-sample objects for similar E.W. Consequently, it appears that NaID and/or colors are likely limited measures of reddening in SNe II, especially for large EWs and reddened colors. Additionally, in the top panel of Figure A3, we compare peak UV/optical magnitudes to the host extinction derived from NaID for all subsamples. We note that there is clearly a lack of highly reddened objects in the sample (e.g., lower right panel of Figure A2). Also, there appears to be a correlation present in this host-extinction correction method that traces the reddening vector at larger reddening values (e.g., >0.3 mag) indicating inaccuracy in using NaID as a tracer of reddening. Nonetheless, when looking at the distribution of peak UV magnitudes for objects without large host reddening, there remains a contrast in absolute magnitude between gold- and comparison-sample objects, most likely the result of CSM interaction. Furthermore, we note that using NaID absorption as a probe of host extinction is dependent on the resolution of the spectrograph used to observe each SN in our sample. However, most of the spectra obtained for this study have resolutions of $R > 500$, which corresponds to $\Delta\lambda \lesssim 12$ Å for a combination of both the NaID1 and D2 transitions. Reliable detections of this transition only become problematic with very low-resolution (e.g., $R < 100$, $\Delta\lambda > 60$ Å) spectrographs for the typical signal-to-noise ratio of our SN spectra.

In Figure A2, we compare our host reddening distribution to SN II samples from Anderson et al. (2014) and Irani et al. (2023), where the former derives host extinction from the NaID EW using Poznanski et al. (2012), and the latter derives it using shock-cooling modeling. Overall, our host reddening distributions contain larger values than both the Anderson et al. (2014) and Irani et al. (2023) samples. We note that, for some objects that are in both our sample and that of Irani et al. (2023; e.g., SNe 2020pni, 2019nvm, 2018dfc, 2019ust), the derived host-galaxy $E(B-V)$ is larger by ~0.1–0.2 mag when using the NaID EW. However, Irani et al. (2023) also fit for an $R_V$ value while we apply a consistent $R_V = 3.1$ with a Fitzpatrick (1999) reddening law; the choice of both the $R_V$ and the reddening law could lead to bias in the host-extinction correction.

We test whether the enhanced UV/optical luminosities observed in the gold sample are a product of the explosion and not uncertainty in the host extinction by first comparing the reddening vector for $R_V = 3.1$ in the Fitzpatrick (1999) reddening law to the $w2-v$ versus $g-r$ color evolution, as shown in Figure 5. The reddening vector has a slope of ~4.3, which is inconsistent with a slope of ~8.1 measured in the color-color evolution of the gold and comparison samples. This implies that extinction correction alone is not able to make all of these SNe have the sample peak absolute magnitude. Additionally, we apply a synthetic host-extinction correction to the $g-r$ colors of the gold/comparison samples until the colors of each object are consistent with the bluest object in the sample at $\delta t = 5$ days, prior to any host reddening correction (e.g., see Figures 5 and A4). We find that an average of 0.21 mag of host reddening is needed, which translates to ~1.9 mag of UV extinction. However, even this amount of reddening cannot account for an average difference >3 mag observed between gold- and comparison-sample UV luminosities, further indicating that this observed phenomenon is not a result of host-galaxy extinction. Furthermore, even after this relative host reddening is applied based on colors, there remains a difference between the peak UV/optical luminosities of many comparison objects relative to those in the gold sample (e.g., see Figure A3).

We note that the highest luminosity objects ($M_{w2} < -21$ mag) also have some of the largest host-extinction values, suggesting that Na I D is a limited measure of host reddening. This is further supported by the lack of objects with similarly high luminosities at low $E(B-V)_{\text{host}}$ values.
