Hydrodynamical simulations of helium-ignited binary white dwarf mergers
Vrutant Mehta, Vishal Tiwari, Ruediger Pakmor +2
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are common luminous astrophysical transients. SNe Ia serve as distance indicators for measuring the expansion rate of the universe and play important ro…
Hydrodynamical simulations favor a pure deflagration origin of the near-Chandrasekhar mass supernova remnant 3C 397
Vrutant Mehta, Jack Sullivan, Robert Fisher +4
Suzaku X-ray observations of the Type Ia supernova remnant (SNR) 3C 397 discovered exceptionally high mass ratios of Mn/Fe, Ni/Fe, and Cr/Fe, consistent with a near pr…
Turbulently-Driven Detonation Initiation in Electron-Degenerate Matter with Helium
Gabriel O. Casabona, Robert T. Fisher
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are standardizable cosmological candles which led to the discovery of the accelerating universe. However, the physics of how white dwarfs (WDs) explode…
A year-long plateau in the late-time near-infrared light curves of Type Ia supernovae
Or Graur, Kate Maguire, Russell Ryan +6
The light curves of Type Ia supernovae are routinely used to constrain cosmology models. Driven by radioactive decay of 56Ni, the light curves steadily decline over time, but >150…
Astro2020 APC White Paper: Enabling Terminal Master's Degrees as a Step Towards a Ph.D
Michael B. Lund, Savannah R. Jacklin, David Ciardi
Earning any advanced degree in physics or astronomy is an arduous process and major accomplishment. However, not every journey to the Ph.D. is paved equally. Every year, there are…
The Detonation Mechanism of the Pulsationally-Assisted Gravitationally-Confined Detonation Model of Type Ia Supernovae
G. C. Jordan, C. Graziani, R. T. Fisher +7
We describe the detonation mechanism comprising the "Pulsationally Assisted" Gravitationally Confined Detonation (GCD) model of Type Ia supernovae SNe Ia. This model is analogous t…
The Role of Variations of Central Density Of White Dwarf Progenitors Upon Type Ia Supernovae
R. Fisher, D. Falta, G. Jordan +1
The discovery of the accelerated expansion of the universe using Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) has stimulated a tremendous amount of interest in the use of SNe Type Ia events as stan…
