A Mechanism for the Oxygen and Iron Bimodal Radial Distribution Formation in the Disc of our Galaxy

I. A. Acharova, J. R. D. Lépine, Yu. N. Mishurov +3

Recently it has been proposed that there are two types of SN Ia progenitors -- short-lived and long-lived. On the basis of this idea, we develope a theory of a unified mechanism fo…

High mass of the type IIP supernova 2004et inferred from hydrodynamic modeling

V. P. Utrobin, N. N. Chugai

Previous studies of type IIP supernovae have inferred that progenitor masses recovered from hydrodynamic models are higher than 15 Msun. To verify the progenitor mass of this super…

Circumstellar interaction in type Ibn supernovae and SN 2006jc

N. N. Chugai

I analyse peculiar properties of light curve and continua of enigmatic Ibn supernovae, including SN 2006jc, and argue in favour of the early strong circumstellar interaction. This…

The High-Metallicity Explosion Environment of the Relativistic Supernova 2009bb

E. M. Levesque, A. M. Soderberg, R. J. Foley +23

We investigate the environment of the nearby (d ~ 40Mpc) broad-lined Type Ic supernova SN 2009bb. This event was observed to produce a relativistic outflow likely powered by a cent…

A Relativistic Type Ibc Supernova Without a Detected Gamma-ray Burst

A. M. Soderberg, S. Chakraborti, G. Pignata +21

Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) mark the explosive death of some massive stars and are a rare sub-class of Type Ibc supernovae (SNe Ibc). They are distinguished by the produc…

The chemical abundance analysis of normal early A- and late B-type stars

L. Fossati, T. Ryabchikova, S. Bagnulo +4

Modern spectroscopy of early-type stars often aims at studying complex physical phenomena. Comparatively less attention is paid to identifying and studying the "normal" A- and B-ty…
