Simulation of a Compact Object with Outflows Moving Through a Gaseous Background
Xinyu Li, Philip Chang, Yuri Levin +2
A compact object moving relative to surrounding gas accretes material and perturbs the density of gas in its vicinity. In the classical picture of Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton accretion,…
Constraints on the binary black hole hypothesis for system LB-1
R. -F. Shen, C. D. Matzner, A. W. Howard +1
At about 70 solar masses, the recently-discovered dark object orbited by a B-type star in the system LB-1 is difficult to understand as the end point of standard stellar evolution,…
The Formation of Stars -- From Filaments to Cores to Protostars and Protoplanetry Disks
James Di Francesco, Helen Kirk, Doug Johnstone +16
Star formation involves the flow of gas and dust within molecular clouds into protostars and young stellar objects (YSOs) due to gravity. Along the way, these flows are shaped sign…
Astronomy in a Low-Carbon Future
Christopher D. Matzner, Nicolas B. Cowan, René Doyon +12
The global climate crisis poses new risks to humanity, and with them, new challenges to the practices of professional astronomy. Avoiding the more catastrophic consequences of glob…
Optical Transient from an Explosion Close to the Stellar Surface
Almog Yalinewich, Christopher D. Matzner
We study the hydrodynamic evolution of an explosion close to the stellar surface, and give predictions for the radiation from such an event. We show that such an event will give ri…
KSP-SN-2016kf: a long-rising H-rich Type II Supernova with unusually high Ni mass discovered in the KMTNet Supernova Program
Niloufar Afsariardchi, Dae-Sik Moon, Maria R. Drout +12
We present the discovery and the photometric and spectroscopic study of H-rich Type II supernova (SN) KSP-SN-2016kf (SN2017it) observed in the KMTNet Supernova Program in the outsk…
