SN 2009bb: a Peculiar Broad-Lined Type Ic Supernova

Giuliano Pignata, Maximilian Stritzinger, Alicia Soderberg +23

Ultraviolet, optical, and near-infrared photometry and optical spectroscopy of the broad-lined Type Ic supernova (SN) 2009bb are presented, following the flux evolution from -10 to…

A New Small-Amplitude Variable Hot DQ White Dwarf

B. H. Dunlap, B. N. Barlow, J. C. Clemens

We present the discovery of photometric variations in the carbon-dominated atmosphere (hot DQ) white dwarf star SDSS J133710.19-002643.6. We find evidence for two low-amplitude, ha…

Hydrodynamic Models of Type I X-Ray Bursts: Metallicity Effects

Jordi Jose, Fermin Moreno, Anuj Parikh +1

Type I X-ray bursts are thermonuclear stellar explosions driven by charged-particle reactions. In the regime for combined H/He-ignition, the main nuclear flow is dominated by the r…

Charged-Particle Thermonuclear Reaction Rates: II. Tables and Graphs of Reaction Rates and Probability Density Functions

Christian Iliadis, Richard Longland, Art Champagne +2

Numerical values of charged-particle thermonuclear reaction rates for nuclei in the A=14 to 40 region are tabulated. The results are obtained using a method, based on Monte Carlo t…

Charged-Particle Thermonuclear Reaction Rates: IV. Comparison to Previous Work

Christian Iliadis, Richard Longland, Art Champagne +1

We compare our Monte Carlo reaction rates (see Paper II of this series) to previous results that were obtained by using the classical method of computing thermonuclear reaction rat…

Pulsational Mapping of Calcium Across the Surface of a White Dwarf

Susan E. Thompson, M. H. Montgomery, T. von Hippel +27

We constrain the distribution of calcium across the surface of the white dwarf star G29-38 by combining time series spectroscopy from Gemini-North with global time series photometr…
