Evidence for sub-Chandrasekhar-mass progenitors of Type Ia supernovae at the faint end of the width-luminosity relation
Stéphane Blondin, Luc Dessart, D. John Hillier +1
The faster light-curve evolution of low-luminosity Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) suggests that they could result from the explosion of white dwarf (WD) progenitors below the Chandras…
[CoIII] versus NaID in type Ia supernova spectra
Luc Dessart, D. John Hillier, Stephane Blondin +1
The high metal content and fast expansion of supernova (SN) Ia ejecta lead to considerable line overlap in their optical spectra. Uncertainties in composition and ionization furthe…
Constraints on the explosion mechanism and progenitors of type Ia supernovae
Luc Dessart, Stephane Blondin, D. John Hillier +1
Observations of SN 2011fe at early times reveal an evolution analogous to a fireball model of constant color. In contrast, our unmixed delayed detonations of Chandrasekhar-mass whi…
Critical ingredients of supernova Ia radiative-transfer modeling
Luc Dessart, D. John Hillier, Stephane Blondin +1
We explore the physics of SN Ia light curves and spectra using the 1-D non-LTE time-dependent radiative-transfer code CMFGEN. Rather than adjusting ejecta properties to match obser…
One-dimensional delayed-detonation models of Type Ia supernovae: Confrontation to observations at bolometric maximum
Stéphane Blondin, Luc Dessart, D. John Hillier +1
The delayed-detonation explosion mechanism applied to a Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf offers a very attractive model to explain the inferred characteristics of Type Ia supernovae…
Incomplete carbon-oxygen detonation in Type Ia supernovae
Inma Domínguez, Alexei Khokhlov
Incomplete carbon-oxygen detonation with reactions terminating after burning of 12C in the leading 12C + 12C reaction (C-detonation) may occur in the low density outer layers of wh…
