The Explosion of Helium Stars Evolved With Mass Loss
Thomas Ertl, Stan E. Woosley, Tuguldur Sukhbold +1
Light curves, explosion energies, and remnant masses are calculated for a grid of supernovae resulting from massive helium stars that have been evolved including mass loss. These p…
Gas Dynamics of the Nickel-56 Decay Heating in Pair-Instability Supernovae
Ke-Jung Chen, S. E. Woosley, Daniel J. Whalen
Very massive 140-260 Msun stars can die as highly-energetic pair-instability supernovae (PI SNe) with energies of up to 100 times those of core-collapse SNe that can completely des…
Gravity and Light: Combining Gravitational Wave and Electromagnetic Observations in the 2020s
R. J. Foley, K. D. Alexander, I. Andreoni +110
As of today, we have directly detected exactly one source in both gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation, the binary neutron star merger GW170817, its associa…
Catching Element Formation In The Act
Chris L. Fryer, Frank Timmes, Aimee L. Hungerford +216
Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics. It encompasses a wide range of objects…
The nature of PISN candidates: clues from nebular spectra
P. A. Mazzali, T. J. Moriya, M. Tanaka +1
A group of super-luminous supernovae (SL-SNe) characterised by broad light curves have been suggested to be Pair Instability SNe (PISNe). Nebular spectra computed using PISN models…
The Evolution of Massive Helium Stars Including Mass Loss
S. E. Woosley
The evolution of helium stars with initial masses in the range 1.6 to 120 Msun is studied, including the effects of mass loss by winds. These stars are assumed to form in binary sy…
