Nuclear Mixing Meters for Classical Novae

Keegan J. Kelly, Christian Iliadis, Lori Downen +2

Classical novae are caused by mass transfer episodes from a main sequence star onto a white dwarf via Roche lobe overflow. This material forms an accretion disk around the white dw…

SN 2009N: Linking normal and subluminous type II-P SNe

K. Takáts, M. L. Pumo, N. Elias-Rosa +31

We present ultraviolet, optical, near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of SN 2009N in NGC 4487. This object is a type II-P supernova with spectra resembling those of subluminou…

Cross-Section Measurements of the 86Kr(g,n) Reaction to Probe the s-Process Branching at 85Kr

R. Raut, A. P. Tonchev, G. Rusev +9

We have carried out photodisintegration cross-section measurements on 86Kr using monoenergetic photon beams ranging from the neutron separation energy, S_n = 9.86 MeV, to 13 MeV. W…

SN 2012ca: a stripped envelope core-collapse SN interacting with dense circumstellar medium

C. Inserra, S. J. Smartt, R. Scalzo +16

We report optical and near-infrared observations of SN 2012ca with the Public ESO Spectroscopy Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO), spread over one year since discovery. The super…

STARLIB: A Next-Generation Reaction-Rate Library for Nuclear Astrophysics

A. L. Sallaska, C. Iliadis, A. E. Champagne +3

STARLIB is a next-generation, all-purpose nuclear reaction-rate library. For the first time, this library provides the rate probability density at all temperature grid points for c…

A progenitor binary and an ejected mass donor remnant of faint type Ia supernovae

S. Geier, T. R. Marsh, B. Wang +17

Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) are the most important standard candles for measuring the expansion history of the universe. The thermonuclear explosion of a white dwarf can explain the…

SN 2009ip á la PESSTO: No evidence for core-collapse yet

Morgan Fraser, Cosimo Inserra, Anders Jerkstrand +35

We present observations of the interacting transient SN 2009ip, from the start of the outburst in October 2012 until the end of the 2012 observing season. The transient reached a p…

The Distance to the Massive Galactic Cluster Westerlund 2 from a Spectroscopic and HST Photometric Study

Carlos A. Vargas Alvarez, Henry A. Kobulnicky, David R. Bradley +4

We present a spectroscopic and photometric determination of the distance to the young Galactic open cluster Westerlund 2 using WFPC2 imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope and gro…

Supernova 2012ec: Identification of the progenitor and early monitoring with PESSTO

J. R. Maund, M. Fraser, S. J. Smartt +13

We present the identification of the progenitor of the Type IIP SN 2012ec in archival pre-explosion HST WFPC2 and ACS/WFC F814W images. The properties of the progenitor are further…
