Type Ia Supernova Nucleosynthesis: Metallicity-Dependent Yields
James D Keegans, Marco Pignatari, Richard J Stancliffe +7
Type Ia supernova explosions (SNIa) are fundamental sources of elements for the chemical evolution of galaxies. They efficiently produce intermediate-mass (with Z between 11 and 20…
Multi-Dimensional Parameter Study of Double Detonation Type Ia Supernovae Originating from Thin-Helium-Shell White Dwarfs
Samuel J. Boos, Dean M. Townsley, Ken J. Shen +2
Despite the importance of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) throughout astronomy, the precise progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms that drive SNe Ia are still unknown. An explosio…
Quantifying How Density Gradients and Front Curvature Affect Carbon Detonation Strength During Type Ia Supernovae
Broxton J. Miles, Dean M. Townsley, Ken J. Shen +2
Accurately reproducing the physics behind the detonations of Type Ia supernovae and the resultant nucleosynthetic yields is important for interpreting observations of spectra and r…
Sub-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf detonations revisited
Ken J. Shen, Daniel Kasen, Broxton J. Miles +1
The detonation of a sub-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf (WD) has emerged as one of the most promising Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitor scenarios. Recent studies have suggested t…
Observational evidence for high neutronization in supernova remnants: implications for Type Ia supernova progenitors
Héctor Martínez-Rodríguez, Carles Badenes, Hiroya Yamaguchi +8
The physical process whereby a carbon--oxygen white dwarf explodes as a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) remains highly uncertain. The degree of neutronization in SN Ia ejecta holds clues…
