Modeling subgrid combustion processes in simulations of thermonuclear supernovae
Dean M. Townsley, Alan C. Calder, Broxton J. Miles
Supernovae of type Ia are thought to arise from the thermonuclear incineration of a carbon-oxygen white dwarf stellar remnant. However, the detailed explosion scenario and stellar…

Double Detonations with Thin, Modestly Enriched Helium Layers Can Make Normal Type Ia Supernovae
Dean M. Townsley, Broxton J. Miles, Ken J. Shen +1
It has been proposed that Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) that are normal in their spectra and brightness can be explained by a double detonation that ignites first in a helium shell o…
