Bi-polar Supernova Explosions
Lifan Wang, D. Andrew Howell, Peter Hoeflich +1
We discuss the optical spectropolarimetry of several core-collapse supernovae, SN 1996cb (Type IIB), SN 1997X (Type Ic), and SN 1998S (Type IIn). The data show polarization evoluti…
Influence of the Stellar Population on Type Ia Supernovae: Consequences for the Determination of Omega
P. Höflich, K. Nomoto, H. Umeda +1
The influence of the metallicity at the main sequence on the chemical structure of the exploding white dwarf, the nucleosynthesis during the explosion and the light curves of an in…
Direct Analysis of Spectra of the Type Ic Supernova 1994I
J. Millard, D. Branch, E. Baron +12
Synthetic spectra generated with the parameterized supernova synthetic-spectrum code SYNOW are compared to observed photospheric-phase spectra of the Type Ic supernova 1994I. The o…
Jet-Induced Explosions of Core Collapse Supernovae
A. M. Khokhlov, P. A. Hoeflich, E. S. Oran +2
We numerically studied the explosion of a supernova caused by supersonic jets present in its center. The jets are assumed to be generated by a magneto-rotational mechanism when a s…
