About
Mridweeka Singh is an observational astrophysicist whose research focuses on the explosive deaths of massive stars, particularly core-collapse supernovae. Her key contributions lie in the detailed photometric and spectroscopic follow-up of rare transient events, with a special emphasis on Type Ib supernovae. Her most cited work, a 2019 study of MASTER OT J120451.50+265946.6 (M12045) in NGC 4080, exemplifies her approach: combining data from the MASTER Global Robotic Net with long-term BVRI observations extending to ~250 days past B-max. This paper, with 9 citations, provides critical insights into the observational properties and evolution of stripped-envelope supernovae, capturing the object weeks past its peak brightness. Singh’s work is vital for understanding progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms, bridging the gap between rapid discovery surveys and detailed physical modeling. Her dedication to characterizing these cosmic beacons makes her a valuable contributor to time-domain astronomy, helping to build the observational foundation necessary for interpreting the next generation of transient surveys.
