Comment on the feasibility of carbon burning in Betelgeuse: a response to "The evolutionary stage of Betelgeuse inferred from its pulsation periods," arXiv:2306.00287
László Molnár, Meridith Joyce, Shing-Chi Leung
The recent pre-print by Saio et al. 2023 argues that the supergiant Betelgeuse is already undergoing carbon burning, based on the assumption that all of its light variations are ca…
Wave-driven mass loss of stripped envelope massive stars: progenitor-dependence, mass ejection, and supernovae
Shing-Chi Leung, Samantha Wu, Jim Fuller
The discovery of rapidly rising and fading supernovae powered by circumstellar interaction has suggested the pre-supernova mass eruption phase as a critical phenomenon in massive s…
Standing on the shoulders of giants: New mass and distance estimates for Betelgeuse through combined evolutionary, asteroseismic, and hydrodynamical simulations with MESA
Meridith Joyce, Shing-Chi Leung, László Molnár +3
We conduct a rigorous examination of the nearby red supergiant Betelgeuse by drawing on the synthesis of new observational data and three different modeling techniques. Our observa…
Electron-capture Rates in Ne for a Forbidden Transition to the Ground State of F Relevant to Final Evolution of High-density O-Ne-Mg Cores
Toshio Suzuki, Shuai Zha, Shing-Chi Leung +1
Electron capture on Ne is critically important for the final stage of evolution of stars with the initial masses of 8 - 10 . In the present paper, we evaluate ele…
Explosive Nucleosynthesis in Near-Chandrasekhar Mass White Dwarf Models for Type Ia Supernovae: Dependence on Model Parameters
Shing-Chi Leung, Ken'ichi Nomoto
We present two-dimensional hydrodynamics simulations of near-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarf (WD) models for Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) using the turbulent deflagration model with…
