Aspherical Supernovae Explosions
P. Hoeflich, A. Khokhlov, L. Wang +2
Core collapse supernovae(SN) are the final stages of evolution in massive stars during which the central region collapses. Recent explosion scenarios assumed that the ejection is d…
Spectropolarimetry of the Type Ic SN 2002ap in M74: More Evidence for Asymmetric Core Collapse
Lifan Wang, Dietrich Baade, Peter Hoeflich +3
High-quality spectropolarimetric data of SN 2002ap were obtained with the ESO Very Large Telescope Melipal (+ FORS1) at 3 epochs that correspond to -6, -2, and +1 days for a V maxi…
The Axially Symmetric Ejecta of Supernova 1987A
L. Wang, J. C. Wheeler, P. Hoeflich +15
Extensive early observations proved that the ejecta of supernova 1987A (SN 1987A) are aspherical. Fifteen years after the supernova explosion, the Hubble Space Telescope has resolv…
The Supernova-GRB Connection
P. Hoeflich, A. Khokhlov, S. Rosswog +1
We discuss the possible connection between supernova explosions (SN) and gamma-ray bursters (GRB) from the perspective of our current understanding of SN physics. Recent evidence s…
