Scientific paper

We propose Chandra observations of five Type Ib/c supernovae (SNe) which show signs of strong, late-time circumstellar (CSM) interaction, a fascinating new phenomenon discovered by our team. Exploring this transition from modest CSM interaction typical of Type Ib/c SNe to strong CSM interaction typical of Type IIn SNe will allow us to probe the transition of the progenitor star from its pre-Wolf-Rayet phase into the Wolf-Rayet phase and learn details about how its hydrogen envelope was shed. This is a new and unique opportunity, and Chandra observations are the best way of pursuing it.
