The Type IIb Supernova 2011dh from a Supergiant Progenitor
Melina C. Bersten, Omar G. Benvenuto, Ken'ichi Nomoto +10
A set of hydrodynamical models based on stellar evolutionary progenitors is used to study the nature of SN 2011dh. Our modeling suggests that a large progenitor star ---with R ~200…
A Binary Progenitor for the Type IIb Supernova 2011dh in M51
Omar G. Benvenuto, Melina C. Bersten, Ken'ichi Nomoto
We perform binary stellar evolutionary calculations following the simultaneous evolution of both stars in the system to study a potential progenitor system for the Type IIb superno…
Evolutionary trajectories of ultra-compact "black widow" pulsars with very low mass companions
O. G. Benvenuto, M. A. De Vito, J. E. Horvath
The existence of millisecond pulsars with planet-mass companions (Bailes et al., 2011) in close orbits is challenging from the stellar evolution point of view. We calculate in deta…
