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…

Three Hypervelocity White Dwarfs in Gaia DR2: Evidence for Dynamically Driven Double-Degenerate Double-Detonation Type Ia Supernovae

Ken J. Shen, Douglas Boubert, Boris T. Gänsicke +23

Double detonations in double white dwarf (WD) binaries undergoing unstable mass transfer have emerged in recent years as one of the most promising Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progeni…
