Variable jets at the termination of the common envelope evolution
Noam Soker
I propose that at the termination of the common envelope evolution (CEE) the companion to the giant star might launch jets that have variable directions and intensities, hence the…
Storing magnetic fields in pre-collapse cores of massive stars
Inbal Peres, Efrat Sabach, Noam Soker
We argue that the radiative zone above the iron core in pre-collapse cores of massive stars can store strong magnetic fields. To reach this conclusion we use the stellar evolutiona…
Diversity of common envelope jets supernovae and the fast transient AT2018cow
Noam Soker, Aldana Grichener, Avishai Gilkis
We propose a common-envelope jets supernova (CEJSN) scenario for the fast-rising blue optical transient AT2018cow. In a CEJSN a neutron star (NS) spirals-in inside the extended env…
Reviving the stalled shock by jittering jets in core collapse supernovae: jets from the standing accretion shock instability
Noam Soker
I present a scenario by which an accretion flow with alternating angular momentum sense on to a newly born neutron star in core collapse supernovae (CCSNe) efficiently amplifies ma…
The common envelope jets supernova (CEJSN) r-process scenario
Aldana Grichener, Noam Soker
We study r-process feasibility inside jets launched by a cold neutron star (NS) spiralling-in inside the core of a giant star, and find that such common envelope jets supernova eve…
Towards a higher mass for NGC1052-DF2: an analysis based on full distribution functions
Adi Nusser
It is demonstrated that the kinematics of the 10 star clusters in NGC2052-DF2 is compatible with a high dynamical mass close to those implied by the standard stellar-to-halo-mass r…
The formation of `columns crowns' by jets interacting with a circumstellar dense shell
Muhammad Akashi, Noam Soker
We conduct three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of two opposite jets that interact with a spherical slow wind that includes a denser shell embedded within it, and obtain a…
High frame-rate cardiac ultrasound imaging with deep learning
Ortal Senouf, Sanketh Vedula, Grigoriy Zurakhov +5
Cardiac ultrasound imaging requires a high frame rate in order to capture rapid motion. This can be achieved by multi-line acquisition (MLA), where several narrow-focused received…
Counteracting Tidal Circularization with the Grazing Envelope Evolution
Amit Kashi, Noam Soker
We show that substantially enhanced mass loss at periastron passages, as is expected in the grazing envelope evolution (GEE), can compensate for the circularization effect of the t…
Oxygen-neon rich merger during common envelope evolution
Pere Canals, Santiago Torres, Noam Soker
We conduct a population synthesis study of the common envelope evolution (CEE) of a white dwarf (WD) and an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star and find that the potential number of…
On the requirement for mixing-heating to utilize bubble cosmic rays to heat the intracluster medium
Noam Soker
I conduct simple analytical estimates and conclude that mixing by vortices is a more efficient process to transfer the cosmic ray energy of jet-inflated bubbles to the intracluster…
Circular dichroism in high-order harmonic generation: Heralding topological phases and transitions in Chern insulators
Alexis Chacón, Dasol Kim, Wei Zhu +10
Topological materials are of interest to both fundamental science and advanced technologies, because topological states are robust with respect to perturbations and dissipation. Ex…
The limited role of recombination energy in common envelope removal
Aldana Grichener, Efrat Sabach, Noam Soker
We calculate the outward energy transport time by convection and photon diffusion in an inflated common envelope and find this time to be shorter than the envelope expansion time.…
Radiating the hydrogen recombination energy during common envelope evolution
Noam Soker, Aldana Grichener, Efrat Sabach
By using the stellar evolution code MESA we show that most of the hydrogen recombination energy that is released as the envelope expands during a regular common envelope evolution…
Pre-supernova outbursts of massive stars in the presence of a neutron star companion
Barak Danieli, Noam Soker
We study the pre-explosion outbursts (PEOs) of massive stars that might result from a rapid expansion of the massive star in the presence of a close companion. We assume that activ…
Possible white dwarf progenitors of type Ia supernovae
Ealeal Bear, Noam Soker
We examine catalogs of white dwarfs (WDs) and find that there are sufficient number of massive WDs, M_WD > 1.35Mo, that might potentially explode as type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in…
Explaining the morphology of supernova remnant (SNR) 1987A with the jittering jets explosion mechanism
Ealeal Bear, Noam Soker
We find that the remnant of supernova (SN) 1987A share some morphological features with four supernova remnants (SNRs) that have signatures of shaping by jets, and from that we str…
Common envelope jets supernova (CEJSN) impostors resulting from a neutron star companion
Avishai Gilkis, Noam Soker, Amit Kashi
We propose a new type of repeating transient outburst initiated by a neutron star (NS) entering the envelope of an evolved massive star, accreting envelope material and subsequentl…
The orientation of Eta Carinae and the powering mechanism of intermediate luminosity optical transients (ILOTs)
Amit Kashi, Noam Soker
Contrary to recent claims, we argue that the orientation of the massive binary system Eta Carinae is such that the secondary star is closer to us at periastron passage, and it is o…
Orbital radius during the grazing envelope evolution
Abedallah Abu-Backer, Avishai Gilkis, Noam Soker
We use the binary module of the MESA code to study the evolution of an evolved binary system where we assume that a main sequence companion removes the outskirts of the envelope of…
A mixed helium-oxygen shell in some core-collapse supernova progenitors
Roni Anna Gofman, Avishai Gilkis, Noam Soker
We evolve models of rotating massive stars up to the stage of iron core collapse using the MESA code and find a shell with a mixed composition of primarily helium and oxygen in som…
Uplifted cool gas and heating by mixing in cooling flows
Shlomi Hillel, Noam Soker
We analyze our earlier three-dimensional hydrodynamical numerical simulation of jet-inflated bubbles in cooling flow clusters, and find that dense gas that was not heated by the je…
