Low energy core collapse supernovae in the frame of the jittering jets explosion mechanism
Roni Anna Gofman, Noam Soker
We relate the pre-explosion binding energy of the ejecta of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) of stars with masses in the lower range of CCSNe and the location of the convection zon…
Supernovae Ia in 2019 (review): a rising demand for spherical explosions
Noam Soker
I review new studies of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from 2019, and use these to improve the comparison between the five binary SN Ia scenarios. New low polarisation measurements so…
Type IIb supernovae by the grazing envelope evolution
Binyamin Naiman, Efrat Sabach, Avishai Gilkis +1
We simulate the evolution of binary systems with a massive primary star of 15Mo where we introduce an enhanced mass loss due to jets that the secondary star might launch, and find…
Emission peaks in the light curve of core collapse supernovae by late jets
Noa Kaplan, Noam Soker
We build a toy model where the central object, i.e., a newly born neutron star or a black hole, launches jets at late times and show that these jets might account for peaks in the…
Common envelope to explosion delay time of type Ia supernovae
Noam Soker
I study the rate of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) within about a million years after the assumed common envelope evolution (CEE) that forms the progenitors of these SNe Ia, and find…
The strongly interacting binary scenarios of the enigmatic supernova iPTF14hls
Roni Anna Gofman, Noam Soker
We argue that some scenarios for the enigmatic supernova (SN) iPTF14hls and its progenitor require a strong binary interaction. We examine scenarios that attribute the extra power…
Intermediate Luminosity Optical Transients (ILOTs) from merging giants
Ran Segev, Efrat Sabach, Noam Soker
We suggest and study the formation of intermediate luminosity optical transients (ILOTs) from the merger of two cool giant stars. For the two stars to merge when both are in their…
Type IIb supernova progenitors by fatal common envelope evolution
Noam Lohev, Efrat Sabach, Avishai Gilkis +1
From stellar evolution simulations (using MESA) we conclude that the fatal common envelope evolution (CEE) channel for the formation of Type IIb core collapse supernova (SN IIb) pr…
Amplifying magnetic fields of a newly born neutron star by stochastic angular momentum accretion in core collapse supernovae
Noam Soker
I present a novel mechanism to boost magnetic field amplification of newly born neutron stars in core collapse supernovae. In this mechanism, that operates in the jittering jets ex…
Explaining the early excess emission of the Type Ia supernova 2018oh by the interaction of the ejecta with disk-originated matter (DOM)
Naveh Levanon, Noam Soker
We explain the early excess emission of the Type Ia supernova 2018oh by an interaction of the supernova ejecta with disk-originated matter (DOM). Such DOM can form in the merger pr…
Constraining Type Ia Supernova Asymmetry with the Gamma-Ray Escape Timescale
Naveh Levanon, Noam Soker
We calculate the effects of an asymmetric distribution in Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) ejecta on the gamma-ray escape timescale () that characterizes the late…
