The Delay Times of Type Ia Supernova
E. Heringer, C. Pritchet, M. H. van Kerkwijk
The delay time distribution of Type Ia supernovae (the time-dependent rate of supernovae resulting from a burst of star formation) has been measured using different techniques and…
Spectral sequences of Type Ia supernovae. II. Carbon as a diagnostic tool for explosion mechanisms
E. Heringer, M. H. van Kerkwijk, S. A. Sim +2
How an otherwise inert carbon-oxygen white dwarf can be made to explode as a Type Ia supernova remains unknown. A promising test of theoretical models is to constrain the distribut…
Spectral sequences of Type Ia supernovae. I. Connecting normal and sub-luminous SN Ia and the presence of unburned carbon
E. Heringer, M. H. van Kerkwijk, S. A. Sim +1
Type Ia supernovae are generally agreed to arise from thermonuclear explosions of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs. The actual path to explosion, however, remains elusive, with numerous…
Type Ia Supernovae: Colors, Rates, and Progenitors
Epson Heringer, Chris Pritchet, Jason Kezwer +3
The rate of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in a galaxy depends not only on stellar mass, but also on star formation history. Here we show that two simple observational quantities ($g-…
