The Type Ib/c Supernova, Gamma-Ray Burst, Soft Gamma-Ray Repeater, Magnetar Connection
J. Craig Wheeler, Peter Hoeflich, Lifan Wang +1
The polarization of core-collapse supernovae shows that many if not all of these explosions must be strongly bi-polar. The most obvious way to produce this axial symmetry is by the…
Asymmetric Supernovae, Pulsars, Magnetars, and Gamma-Ray Bursts
J. Craig Wheeler, Insu Yi, Peter Hoeflich +1
We outline the possible physical processes, associated timescales, and energetics that could lead to the production of pulsars, jets, asymmetric supernovae, and weak gamma-ray burs…
Influence of the Stellar Population on Type Ia Supernovae: Consequences for the Determination of Omega
P. Höflich, K. Nomoto, H. Umeda +1
The influence of the metallicity at the main sequence on the chemical structure of the exploding white dwarf, the nucleosynthesis during the explosion and the light curves of an in…
Properties of Deflagration Fronts and Models for Type Ia Supernovae
I. Dominguez, P. Hoeflich
Detailed models of the explosion of a white dwarf, which include self-consistent calculations of the light curve and spectra, provide a link between observational quantities and th…
Jet-Induced Explosions of Core Collapse Supernovae
A. M. Khokhlov, P. A. Hoeflich, E. S. Oran +2
We numerically studied the explosion of a supernova caused by supersonic jets present in its center. The jets are assumed to be generated by a magneto-rotational mechanism when a s…
