A Three-Dimensional Picture of the Delayed-Detonation Model of Type Ia Supernovae

Eduardo Bravo, Domingo Garcia-Senz

Deflagration models poorly explain the observed diversity of SNIa. Current multidimensional simulations of SNIa predict a significant amount of, so far unobserved, carbon and oxyge…

The effect of activity on stellar temperatures and radii

J. C. Morales, I. Ribas, C. Jordi

Recent analyses of low-mass eclipsing binary stars have unveiled a significant disagreement between the observations and the predictions of stellar structure models. Results show t…

WD0433+270: an old Hyades stream member or an Fe-core white dwarf?

S. Catalan, I. Ribas, J. Isern +1

G39-27/289 is a common proper motion pair formed by a white dwarf (WD0433+270) and a main-sequence star (BD+26 730) that apparently has been classified as a member of the Hyades op…

The initial-final mass relationship from white dwarfs in common proper motion pairs

S. Catalan, J. Isern, E. Garcia-Berro +3

The initial-final mass relationship of white dwarfs, which is poorly constrained, is of paramount importance for different aspects in modern astrophysics. From an observational per…

Detailed Spectral Modeling of a 3-D Pulsating Reverse Detonation Model: Too Much Nickel

E. Baron, David J. Jeffery, David Branch +3

We calculate detailed NLTE synthetic spectra of a Pulsating Reverse Detonation (PRD) model, a novel explosion mechanism for Type Ia supernovae. While the hydro models are calculate…

Thermal diagnostic of the Optical Window on board LISA Pathfinder

M. Nofrarias, A. F. Garcia Marin, A. Lobo +4

Vacuum conditions inside the LTP Gravitational Reference Sensor must comply with rather demanding requirements. The Optical Window (OW) is an interface which seals the vacuum enclo…

Dynamical Casimir Effect and the Black Body Spectrum

Jaume Haro, Emilio Elizalde

Creation of scalar massless particles in two-dimensional Minkowski space-time--as predicted by the dynamical Casimir effect--is studied for the case of a semitransparent mirror ini…

De Sitter cosmology from Gauss-Bonnet dark energy with quantum effects

Emilio Elizalde, John Quiroga Hurtado, Hector Ivan Arcos

A Gauss-Bonnet dark energy model is considered, which is inspired in string/M-theory and takes also into account quantum contributions. Those are introduced from a conformal quantu…

Probing quantum gravity using photons from a flare of the active galactic nucleus Markarian 501 observed by the MAGIC telescope

J. Albert et al., John Ellis, N. E. Mavromatos +3

We analyze the timing of photons observed by the MAGIC telescope during a flare of the active galactic nucleus Mkn 501 for a possible correlation with energy, as suggested by some…
