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…

Luminous Type II Short-Plateau Supernovae 2006Y, 2006ai, and 2016egz: A Transitional Class from Stripped Massive Red Supergiants

Daichi Hiramatsu, D. Andrew Howell, Takashi J. Moriya +21

The diversity of Type II supernovae (SNe II) is thought to be driven mainly by differences in their progenitor's hydrogen-rich (H-rich) envelope mass, with SNe IIP having long plat…

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…
