Pre-explosion spiral mass loss of a binary star merger
Ondrej Pejcha, Brian D. Metzger, Jacob G. Tyles +1
Binary stars commonly pass through phases of direct interaction which result in the rapid loss of mass, energy, and angular momentum. Though crucial to understanding the fates of t…
Shock-powered light curves of luminous red novae as signatures of pre-dynamical mass loss in stellar mergers
Brian D. Metzger, Ondrej Pejcha
Luminous red novae (LRN) are a class of optical transients believed to originate from the mergers of binary stars, or "common envelope" events. Their light curves often show second…
The Nickel Mass Distribution of Normal Type II Supernovae
Tomás Müller, Jose L. Prieto, Ondrej Pejcha +1
Core-collapse supernova explosions expose the structure and environment of massive stars at the moment of their death. We use the global fitting technique of Pejcha & Prieto (2015a…
