SN 2025adpq: A Type Ia supernova in a collisional ring formed during a major galaxy merger

Galaxy mergers can both trigger star formation and rearrange where stars live, producing long-lived tidal structures and collisionally driven density waves (known as collisional rings) that can extend for tens of kpc from their host galaxy centers. Here we report the discovery of SN 2025adpq, a Type...
