3D Hydrodynamical Simulations of Helium-Ignited Double-degenerate White Dwarf Mergers
Niranjan Roy, Vishal Tiwari, Alexey Bobrick +6
The origins of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are still debated. Some of the leading scenarios involve a double detonation in double white dwarf (WD) systems. In these scenarios, heli…
Discovery of the Highly-Neutronized Ejecta Clump with Enhanced Abundances of Titanium and Chromium in the Type Ia Supernova Remnant 3C 397
Yuken Ohshiro, Hiroya Yamaguchi, Shing-Chi Leung +7
The supernova remnant (SNR) 3C 397 is thought to originate from a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) explosion of a near-Chandrasekhar-mass () progenitor, based on the enhanced…
Universality and Non-Universality in Distributed Nuclear Burning in Homogeneous Isotropic Turbulence
Yossef Zenati, Robert T. Fisher
Nuclear burning plays a key role in a wide range of astrophysical stellar transients, including thermonuclear, pair instability, and core collapse supernovae, as well as kilonovae…
Catching Element Formation In The Act
Chris L. Fryer, Frank Timmes, Aimee L. Hungerford +216
Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics. It encompasses a wide range of objects…
Double-Degenerate Carbon-Oxygen and Oxygen-Neon White Dwarf Mergers: A New Mechanism for Faint and Rapid Type Ia Supernovae
Rahul Kashyap, Tazkera Haque, Pablo Lorén-Aguilar +2
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) originate from the thermonuclear explosion of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (CO WDs), giving rise to luminous optical transients. A relatively common varie…
The Intrinsic Stochasticity of the Ni Distribution of Single-Degenerate Type Ia Supernovae
Chris Byrohl, Robert T. Fisher, Dean M. Townsley
Binary Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarfs accreting mass from non-degenerate stellar companions through the single-degenerate channel have reigned for decades as the leading explanati…
