Probing Cosmic-Ray Ion Acceleration with Radio-Submm and Gamma-Ray Emission from Interaction-Powered Supernovae
Kohta Murase, Todd A. Thompson, Eran O. Ofek
The optical and near-IR emission from some classes of supernovae (SNe), including Type IIn and possibly some super-luminous SNe, is likely powered by a collision between the SN eje…
Reconciling 56Ni Production in Type Ia Supernovae with Double Degenerate Scenarios
Anthony L. Piro, Todd A. Thompson, Christopher S. Kochanek
Binary white dwarf (WD) coalescences driven by gravitational waves or collisions in triple systems are potential progenitors of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). We combine the distribu…
Rapid Eccentricity Oscillations and the Mergers of Compact Objects in Hierarchical Triples
Joe M. Antognini, Benjamin J. Shappee, Todd A. Thompson +1
Kozai-Lidov (KL) oscillations can accelerate compact object mergers via gravitational wave (GW) radiation by driving the inner binaries of hierarchical triples to high eccentriciti…
Quasithermal Neutrinos from Rotating Protoneutron Stars Born during Core Collapse of Massive Stars
Kohta Murase, Basudeb Dasgupta, Todd A. Thompson
Rotating and magnetized protoneutron stars (PNSs) may drive relativistic magneto-centrifugally accelerated winds as they cool immediately after core collapse. The wind fluid near t…
