The Peculiar Type Ib Supernova 2006jc: A WCO Wolf-Rayet Star Explosion
N. Tominaga, M. Limongi, T. Suzuki +21
We present a theoretical model for Type Ib supernova (SN) 2006jc. We calculate the evolution of the progenitor star, hydrodynamics and nucleosynthesis of the SN explosion, and the…
Optical and near-infrared photometry of the Type Ia Supernova 2000E in NGC 6951
G. Valentini, E. Di Carlo, F. Massi +15
We present optical and near-infrared photometry, along with optical spectra, of the Type Ia supernova SN 2000E in the spiral galaxy NGC 6951. It was discovered by the staff of the…
Carbon-Oxygen White Dwarfs Accreting CO-Rich Matter I: A Comparison Between Rotating and Non-Rotating Models
Luciano Piersanti, Simona Gagliardi, Icko Iben +1
We investigate the lifting effect of rotation on the thermal evolution of CO WDs accreting CO-rich matter. We find that rotation induces the cooling of the accreting star so that t…
Optical and infrared observations of the supernova SN 1999el
E. Di Carlo, F. Massi, G. Valentini +22
Optical and near-infrared light curves of the Type IIn supernova 1999el in NGC 6951 are presented. A period of 220 days (416 days in the near-infrared) is covered from the first ob…
The Influence of N14(e-,nu)C14(alpha,gamma)O18 reaction on the He-Ignition in Degenerate Physical Conditions
Luciano Piersanti, Santi Cassisi, Amedeo Tornambe'
The importance of NCO chain on the onset of the He-flash in degenerate physical conditions has been reevaluated. We find that low-mass, metal-rich (Z 0.001) structures climbi…
Intermediate-mass star models with different helium and metal contents
G. Bono, F. Caputo, S. Cassisi +3
We present a comprehensive theoretical investigation of the evolutionary properties of intermediate-mass stars. The evolutionary sequences were computed from the Zero Age Main Sequ…
