A Black Hole is Born: 3D GRMHD Simulation of Black Hole Formation from Core-Collapse
Goni Halevi, Swapnil Shankar, Philipp Mösta +2
We present the first three-dimensional, fully general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (3D GRMHD) simulation of a black hole (BH) formed from the collapsed core of a massive star.…
Magnetically-Driven Neutron-Rich Ejecta Unleashed: Global 3D Neutrino-General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Collapsars Probe the Conditions for r-process Nucleosynthesis
Danat Issa, Ore Gottlieb, Brian Metzger +5
Collapsars - rapidly rotating stellar cores that form black holes - can power gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and are proposed to be key contributors to the production of heavy elements in…
A Hubble Space Telescope Search for r-Process Nucleosynthesis in Gamma-ray Burst Supernovae
J. C. Rastinejad, W. Fong, A. J. Levan +23
The existence of a secondary (in addition to compact object mergers) source of heavy element (-process) nucleosynthesis, the core-collapse of rapidly-rotating and highly-magneti…
Mahakala: a Python-based Modular Ray-tracing and Radiative Transfer Algorithm for Curved Space-times
Aniket Sharma, Lia Medeiros, Chi-kwan Chan +4
We introduce Mahakala, a Python-based, modular, radiative ray-tracing code for curved space-times. We employ Google's JAX framework for accelerated automatic differentiation, which…
Density Profiles of Collapsed Rotating Massive Stars Favor Long Gamma-Ray Bursts
Goni Halevi, Belinda Wu, Philipp Moesta +3
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (lGRBs) originate in relativistic collimated outflows -- jets -- that drill their way out of collapsing massive stars. Accurately modeling this proce…
SN 2016iyc: A Type IIb supernova arising from a low-mass progenitor
Amar Aryan, S. B. Pandey, WeiKang Zheng +12
In this work, photometric and spectroscopic analyses of a very low-luminosity Type IIb supernova (SN) 2016iyc have been performed. SN 2016iyc lies near the faint end among the dist…
The Lick Observatory Supernova Search follow-up program: photometry data release of 70 stripped-envelope supernovae
WeiKang Zheng, Benjamin E. Stahl, Thomas de Jaeger +85
We present BVRI and unfiltered Clear light curves of 70 stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe), observed between 2003 and 2020, from the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) foll…
SN 2015bf: a fast declining type II supernova with flash-ionised signatures
Han Lin, Xiaofeng Wang, Jujia Zhang +19
We present optical and ultraviolet photometry, as well as optical spectra, for the type II supernova (SN) 2015bf. Our observations cover the phases from to d af…
The Berkeley sample of Type II supernovae: BVRI light curves and spectroscopy of 55 SNe II
T. de Jaeger, W. Zheng, B. E. Stahl +58
In this work, BV RI light curves of 55 Type II supernovae (SNe II) from the Lick Observatory Supernova Search program obtained with the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope and the…
SN 2016esw: a luminous Type II supernova observed within the first day after the explosion
Thomas de Jaeger, Lluis Galbany, Claudia P. Gutiérrez +18
We present photometry, spectroscopy, and host-galaxy integral-field spectroscopy of the Type II supernova (SN) 2016esw in CGCG~229-009 from the first day after the explosion up to…
-Process Nucleosynthesis from Three-dimensional Jet-driven Core-Collapse Supernovae with Magnetic Misalignments
Goni Halevi, Philipp Mösta
We investigate -process nucleosynthesis in three-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of jet-driven supernovae resulting from rapidly rotating, stron…
R-process Nucleosynthesis from Three-Dimensional Magnetorotational Core-Collapse Supernovae
Philipp Mösta, Luke F. Roberts, Goni Halevi +4
We investigate r-process nucleosynthesis in three-dimensional (3D) general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of rapidly rotating strongly magnetized core collapse. The s…
