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…

The evolutionary roads leading to low effective spins, high black hole masses, and O1/O2 rates of LIGO/Virgo binary black holes

K. Belczynski, J. Klencki, C. E. Fields +31

All ten LIGO/Virgo binary black hole (BH-BH) coalescences reported from the O1/O2 runs have near zero effective spins. There are only three potential explanations of this fact. If…
