Cosmic Chandlery with Thermonuclear Supernovae
Alan C. Calder, Brendan K. Krueger, Aaron P. Jackson +3
Thermonuclear (Type Ia) supernovae are bright stellar explosions, the light curves of which can be calibrated to allow for use as "standard candles" for measuring cosmological dist…
GW Librae: Still Hot Eight Years Post-Outburst
Paula Szkody, Anjum S. Mukadam, Boris T. Gaensicke +8
We report continued Hubble Space Telescope (HST) ultraviolet spectra and ground-based optical photometry and spectroscopy of GW Librae eight years after its largest known dwarf nov…
A Tracer Method for Computing Type Ia Supernova Yields: Burning Model Calibration, Reconstruction of Thickened Flames, and Verification for Planar Detonations
Dean M. Townsley, Broxton J. Miles, F. X. Timmes +2
We refine our previously introduced parameterized model for explosive carbon-oxygen fusion during thermonuclear supernovae (SN Ia) by adding corrections to post-processing of recor…
GW Librae: A unique laboratory for pulsations in an accreting white dwarf
O. Toloza, B. T. Gaensicke, J. J. Hermes +22
Non-radial pulsations have been identified in a number of accreting white dwarfs in cataclysmic variables. These stars offer insight into the excitation of pulsation modes in atmos…
White Paper on Nuclear Astrophysics
Almudena Arcones, Dan W. Bardayan, Timothy C. Beers +40
This white paper informs the nuclear astrophysics community and funding agencies about the scientific directions and priorities of the field and provides input from this community…
Type Ia Supernova Explosions from Hybrid Carbon-Oxygen-Neon White Dwarf Progenitors
Donald E. Willcox, Dean M. Townsley, Alan C. Calder +2
Motivated by recent results in stellar evolution that predict the existence of hybrid white dwarf (WD) stars with a C-O core inside an O-Ne shell, we simulate thermonuclear (Type I…
