Two articles published in "The Astrophysical Journal Letters" report as many studies on the supernova cataloged as SN 2023ixf. Two teams of researchers with members in common examined the evolution of this supernova discovered in the so-called Pinwheel Galaxy.
Dr. John Barentine FRASObservations of the #supernova #SN2023ixf "were the earliest-ever measurements of polarized light from a supernova, showing more clearly the evolving shape of a stellar explosion".

Looked at the #SN2023ixf
AAVSO light curve for the first time in a while today since it’s been cloudy here lately. Looks like the linear decrease phase ended about two weeks ago after ~70 days since maximum light. Starting to plateau now at ~82 days, expected for a type IIL event
SETI InstituteThe closest cosmic explosion to Earth in the last 10 years became a record breaker for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute (SETI).
The supernova, designated (SN) 2023ixf, was first spotted on May 19, 2023, by Japanese amateur astronomer Koichi Itagaki. Just an hour after this manifestation, amateur astronomers taking part in SETI and Unistellar's Cosmic Cataclysms program were on the case.

PRESS RELEASE: https://www.seti.org/press-release/record-breaking-team-citizen-scientists-contribute-data-pinwheel-galaxy-supernova
Amateur astronomers participating in the SETI Institute’s and Unistellar’s Cosmic Cataclysms program conducted a groundbreaking observation of supernova (SN) 2023ixf. The observations, which began just one hour after the supernova’s first known appearance, have generated the longest continuous light curve of this supernova gathered by citizen scientists that has been published to date.
Record-Breaking Team of Citizen Scientists Contribute Data on Pinwheel Galaxy Supernova
July 11, 2023, Mountain View, CA - In an unprecedented achievement, citizen scientists have set a new record for the SETI Institute and Unistellar, comprising the highest number of observers providing data on a single event. Amateur astronomers participating in the SETI Institute’s and Unistellar’s Cosmic Cataclysms program conducted a groundbreaking observation of supernova (SN) 2023ixf.
