Weighing in on black hole binaries with BPASS: LB-1 does not contain a 70M black hole
J. J. Eldridge, E. R. Stanway, K. Breivik +3
The recent identification of a candidate very massive 70 M(Sun) black hole is at odds with our current understanding of stellar winds and pair-instability supernovae. We investigat…
Linear spectropolarimetry of 35 Type Ia Supernovae with VLT/FORS: An analysis of the Si II line polarization
Aleksandar Cikota, Ferdinando Patat, Lifan Wang +9
Spectropolarimetry enables us to measure the geometry and chemical structure of the ejecta in supernova explosions, which is fundamental for the understanding of their explosion me…
Spectropolarimetry of stripped envelope core collapse supernovae and their progenitors
H. F. Stevance
Over the past 30 years, spectropolarimetry has proven to be a great tool to probe the 3D geometry of core collapse supernovae (CCSNe). The number of high-quality multi-epoch spectr…
The Young and Nearby Normal Type Ia Supernova 2018gv: UV-Optical Observations and the Earliest Spectropolarimetry
Yi Yang, Peter A. Hoeflich, Dietrich Baade +25
The non-detection of companion stars in Type Ia supernova (SN) progenitor systems lends support to the notion of double-degenerate (DD) systems and explosions triggered by the merg…
The 3D shape of Type IIb SN 2011hs
H. F. Stevance, J. R. Maund, D. Baade +10
We observed seven epochs of spectropolarimetry in optical wavelengths for the Type IIb SN 2011hs, ranging from -3 to +40 days with respect to V -band maximum. A high degree of inte…
