Bolometric light curves of aspherical shock breakout
Christopher Irwin, Itai Linial, Ehud Nakar +2
The shock breakout emission is the first light that emerges from a supernova. In the spherical case it is characterized by a brief UV flash. In an axisymmetric, non-spherical prola…
Partial Stellar Explosions -- Ejected Mass and Minimal Energy
Itai Linial, Jim Fuller, Re'em Sari
Many massive stars appear to undergo enhanced mass loss during late stages of their evolution. In some cases, the ejected mass likely originates from non-terminal explosive outburs…
Oblique Shock Breakout from a Uniform Density Medium
Itai Linial, Re'em Sari
The emergence of a shock from a medium with a free surface is an important process in various astrophysical phenomena. It generates the first light associated with explosions like…
Cooling off with a kilonova - Lower Limit on the Expansion Velocity of GW170817
Itai Linial, Re'em Sari
GW170817 was the first detection of a binary neutron star merger via gravitational waves. The event was observed over a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum, revealing a ther…
Modal Decomposition of TTV - Inferring Planet Masses and Eccentricities
Itai Linial, Shmuel Gilbaum, Re'em Sari
Transit timing variations (TTVs) are a powerful tool for characterizing the properties of transiting exoplanets. However, inferring planet properties from the observed timing varia…
Mass loss through the L2 Lagrange point - Application to Main Sequence EMRI
Itai Linial, Re'em Sari
We consider stable mass transfer from the secondary to the primary of an extreme mass ratio binary system. We show that when the mass transfer is sufficiently fast, mass leakage oc…
