All known Type Ia supernovae models fail to reproduce the observed bolometric luminosity-width correlation

Amir Sharon, Doron Kushnir, Nahliel Wygoda

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are widely believed to arise from thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs (WDs). However, ongoing debate surrounds their progenitor systems and the mec…

StaNdaRT: A repository of standardized test models and outputs for supernova radiative transfer

Stéphane Blondin, Sergei Blinnikov, Fionntan P. Callan +26

We present the first results of a comprehensive supernova (SN) radiative-transfer (RT) code-comparison initiative (StaNdaRT), where the emission from the same set of standardized t…

Sub-Chandrasekhar-mass detonations are in tension with the observed relation of type Ia supernovae

Doron Kushnir, Nahliel Wygoda, Amir Sharon

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are likely the thermonuclear explosions of carbon-oxygen (CO) white-dwarf (WD) stars, but their progenitor systems remain elusive. Recent studies have s…

Type Ia supernovae have two physical width-luminosity relations and they favor sub-Chandrasekhar and direct collision models - II. Color evolution

Nahliel Wygoda, Boaz Katz, Yonatan Elbaz

While the width-luminosity relation (WLR) among type Ia supernovae (slower is brighter) is one of the best studied properties of this type of events, its physical basis has not bee…

Type Ia supernovae have two physical width-luminosity relations and they favor sub-Chandrasekhar and direct collision models. I. Bolometric

Nahliel Wygoda, Yonatan Elbaz, Boaz Katz

While the width-luminosity relation (WLR) among type Ia supernovae (slower is brighter) has been extensively studied, its physical basis has not been convincingly identified. In pa…

The energy budget of GRBs based on updated prompt \& afterglow observations

Nahliel Wygoda, Dafne Guetta, Marc-Adrien Mandich +1

We compare the isotropic equivalent 15-2000 keV gamma-ray energy, E_gamma, emitted by a sample of 91 swift Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) with known redshifts, with the isotropic equivale…
