The Light Curve of the Unusual Supernova SN 2003dh
S. E. Woosley, A. Heger
SN 2003dh, one of the most luminous supernovae ever recorded, and the one with the highest measured velocities, accompanied gamma-ray burst 030329. Its rapid rise to maximum and eq…
Investigations of Pointwise Ignition of Helium Deflagrations on Neutron Stars
M. Zingale, S. E. Woosley, A. Cumming +7
We look at the spreading of localized temperature perturbations in the accreted fuel layer of a non-rotating neutron star. The pressure at the base of the accreted fuel layer is la…
3D Anelastic Simulations of Convection in Massive Stars
Michael Kuhlen, Stan E. Woosley, Gary A. Glatzmaier
After briefly describing the anelastic approximation and Glatzmaier's code, we present results from our preliminary studies of core convection during the hydrogen burning phase of…
GRB010921: Localization and Observations by the HETE Satellite
G. Ricker, K. Hurley, D. Lamb +36
On September 21 at 18950.56 SOD (05:15:50.56) UT the FREGATE gamma-ray instrument on the High Energy Transient Explorer (HETE) detected a bright gamma-ray burst (GRB). The burst wa…
Nuclear Aspects of the s- and n-Processes in Massive Stars
T. Rauscher, A. Heger, S. E. Woosley +1
In order to study the processes creating intermediate and heavy nuclei in massive stars it is necessary to provide neutron capture cross sections and reaction rates close to stabil…
Collapsars, Gamma-Ray Bursts, and Supernovae
S. E. Woosley, A. I. MacFadyen, A. Heger
A diverse range of phenomena is possible when a black hole experiences very rapid accretion from a disk due to the incomplete explosion of a massive presupernova star endowed with…
