• Unifying Type II Supernova Light Curves with Dense Circumstellar Material (2016, methodology): “Implications for the Stellar Progenitors of SNe IIL Up to now, pre-explosion imaging has not revealed any clear distinction between the progenitors of Type IIP and Type IIL SNe neither in radius (Gall et al. 2015) nor in mass (Valenti et al. 2016).”
• Measuring the Progenitor Masses and Dense Circumstellar Material of Type II Supernovae (2017, methodology): “5 The values of tPT are taken from Table D5 of Valenti et al. (2016) when available, otherwise from Table D4. of the highest masses and lowest energies).”
