Moosinesq Convection in the Cores of Moosive Stars

Evan H. Anders, Evan B. Bauer, Adam S. Jermyn +7

Stars with masses have core convection zones during their time on the main sequence. In these moosive stars, convection…

The electron-capture origin of supernova 2018zd

Daichi Hiramatsu, D. Andrew Howell, Schuyler D. Van Dyk +27

In the transitional mass range ( 8-10 solar masses) between white dwarf formation and iron core-collapse supernovae, stars are expected to produce an electron-capture superno…

Comparing Moment-Based and Monte Carlo Methods of Radiation Transport Modeling for Type II-Plateau Supernova Light Curves

Benny T. -H. Tsang, Jared A. Goldberg, Lars Bildsten +1

Time-dependent electromagnetic signatures from core-collapse supernovae are the result of detailed transport of the shock-deposited and radioactively-powered radiation through the…

The Value of Progenitor Radius Measurements for Explosion Modeling of Type II-Plateau Supernovae

Jared A. Goldberg, Lars Bildsten

Using Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA)+STELLA, we show that very different physical models can adequately reproduce a specific observed Type II-Plateau Supern…

A Massive Star's Dying Breaths: Pulsating Red Supergiants and Their Resulting Type IIP Supernovae

Jared A. Goldberg, Lars Bildsten, Bill Paxton

Massive stars undergo fundamental-mode and first-overtone radial pulsations with periods of 100-1000 days as Red Supergiants (RSGs). At large amplitudes, these pulsations substanti…

Inferring Explosion Properties from Type II-Plateau Supernova Light Curves

Jared A. Goldberg, Lars Bildsten, Bill Paxton

We present advances in modeling Type IIP supernovae using MESA for evolution to shock breakout coupled with STELLA for generating light and radial velocity curves. Explosion models…
