Quantifying How Density Gradients and Front Curvature Affect Carbon Detonation Strength During Type Ia Supernovae
Broxton J. Miles, Dean M. Townsley, Ken J. Shen +2
Accurately reproducing the physics behind the detonations of Type Ia supernovae and the resultant nucleosynthetic yields is important for interpreting observations of spectra and r…
Main Sequence Evolution with Layered Semiconvection
Kevin Moore, Pascale Garaud
Semiconvection - mixing that occurs in regions that are stable when considering compositional gradients, but unstable when ignoring them - is shown to have the greatest potential i…
Laterally Propagating Detonations in Thin Helium Layers on Accreting White Dwarfs
Dean M. Townsley, Kevin Moore, Lars Bildsten
Theoretical work has shown that intermediate mass (0.01Msun<M_He<0.1Msun) Helium shells will unstably ignite on the accreting white dwarf (WD) in an AM CVn binary. For more massive…
The Effects of Curvature and Expansion on Helium Detonations on White Dwarf Surfaces
Kevin Moore, Dean Townsley, Lars Bildsten
Accreted helium layers on white dwarfs have been highlighted for many decades as a possible site for a detonation triggered by a thermonuclear runaway. In this paper, we find the m…
Dynamic Modulated Arc Therapy (DMAT): An Intent-Driven, Time-Aware Framework for Next-Generation Radiotherapy Delivery
Taoran Li, Esa Kuusela, Emmi Ruokokoski +10
Traditional VMAT optimization often ignores dynamic machine limits, treating delivery time as an emergent property rather than a steerable parameter. This work introduces Dynamic M…
C3PA: An Open Dataset of Expert-Annotated and Regulation-Aware Privacy Policies to Enable Scalable Regulatory Compliance Audits
Maaz Bin Musa, Steven M. Winston, Garrison Allen +7
The development of tools and techniques to analyze and extract organizations data habits from privacy policies are critical for scalable regulatory compliance audits. Unfortunately…
Circumstellar Shell Formation in Symbiotic Recurrent Novae
Kevin Moore, Lars Bildsten
We present models of spherically symmetric recurrent nova shells interacting with circumstellar material in a symbiotic system composed of a red giant expelling a wind, and a white…
The Initiation and Propagation of Helium Detonations in White Dwarf Envelopes
Ken J. Shen, Kevin Moore
Detonations in helium-rich envelopes surrounding white dwarfs have garnered attention as triggers of faint thermonuclear ".Ia" supernovae and double detonation Type Ia supernovae.…
Acoustic Signatures of the Helium Core Flash
Lars Bildsten, Bill Paxton, Kevin Moore +1
All evolved stars with masses M <2 solar masses undergo an initiating off-center helium core flash in their 0.48 solar mass He core as they ascend the red giant branch (RGB). This…
Clearing the Gas from Globular Clusters & Dwarf Spheroidals with Classical Novae
Kevin Moore, Lars Bildsten
Observations of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) in galactic globular clusters (GCs) show a systematic deficiency in ICM mass as compared to that expected from accumulation of stella…
