LSQ13fn: A type II-Plateau supernova with a possibly low metallicity progenitor that breaks the standardised candle relation

J. Polshaw, R. Kotak, L. Dessart +20

We present optical imaging and spectroscopy of supernova (SN) LSQ13fn, a type II supernova with several hitherto-unseen properties. Although it initially showed strong symmetric sp…

A correlation between SN II metal line strength and host HII region oxygen abundance

Joseph P. Anderson, Claudia P. Gutiérrez, Luc Dessart

Dessart et al., demonstrated that type II supernova (SN II) model spectra present increasing metal line strength with increasing progenitor metallicity. To confront these models wi…

Radiative-transfer models for supernovae IIb/Ib/Ic from binary-star progenitors

Luc Dessart, D. John Hillier, Stan Woosley +4

We present 1-D non-Local-Thermodynamic-Equilibrium time-dependent radiative-transfer simulations for supernovae (SNe) of type IIb, Ib, and Ic that result from the terminal explosio…

Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): Binaries, Pulsations, and Explosions

Bill Paxton, Pablo Marchant, Josiah Schwab +10

We substantially update the capabilities of the open-source software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA). MESA can now simultaneously evolve an intera…

Numerical simulations of super-luminous supernovae of type IIn

Luc Dessart, Edouard Audit, D. John Hillier

We present numerical simulations that include 1-D Eulerian multi-group radiation-hydrodynamics, 1-D non-LTE radiative transfer, and 2-D polarised radiative transfer for super-lumin…

A one-dimensional Chandrasekhar-mass delayed-detonation model for the broad-lined Type Ia supernova 2002bo

Stéphane Blondin, Luc Dessart, D. John Hillier

We present 1D non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) time-dependent radiative-transfer simulations of a Chandrasekhar-mass delayed-detonation model which synthesizes 0.51 Ms…
