Aspherical Remnants of Triple and Quadruple Detonations in Binary White Dwarfs
Logan J. Prust, Lars Bildsten, Samuel J. Boos
White dwarfs which explode by the double-detonation mechanism may have a binary white dwarf donor which is subsequently ignited by its collision with the ejecta. This results in th…
Non-LTE Synthetic Observables of a Multidimensional Model of Type Ia Supernovae
Samuel J. Boos, Luc Dessart, Ken J. Shen +1
Many promising explosion models for the elusive origin of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) ultimately fail to completely reproduce a number of observed properties of these events. One l…
Almost All Carbon/Oxygen White Dwarfs Can Host Double Detonations
Ken J. Shen, Samuel J. Boos, Dean M. Townsley
Double detonations of sub-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarfs (WDs) in unstably mass-transferring double WD binaries have become one of the leading contenders to explain most Type Ia s…
Type Ia Supernovae Can Arise from the Detonations of Both Stars in a Double Degenerate Binary
Samuel J. Boos, Dean M. Townsley, Ken J. Shen
The precise origin of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is unknown despite their value to numerous areas in astronomy. While it is a long-standing consensus that they arise from an explo…
SN 2022joj: A Potential Double Detonation with a Thin Helium shell
E. Padilla Gonzalez, D. A. Howell, G. Terreran +34
We present photometric and spectroscopic data for SN 2022joj, a nearby peculiar Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) with a fast decline rate ( mag). SN 2022joj shows exce…
SN 2022joj: A Peculiar Type Ia Supernova Possibly Driven by an Asymmetric Helium-shell Double Detonation
Chang Liu, Adam A. Miller, Samuel J. Boos +28
We present observations of SN 2022joj, a peculiar Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). SN 2022joj exhibits an unusually red $g_\mathrm{ZTF}-…
Multi-Dimensional Radiative Transfer Calculations of Double Detonations of Sub-Chandrasekhar-Mass White Dwarfs
Ken J. Shen, Samuel J. Boos, Dean M. Townsley +1
Study of the double detonation Type Ia supernova scenario, in which a helium shell detonation triggers a carbon core detonation in a sub-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf, has experie…
Non-Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium Radiative Transfer Simulations of Sub-Chandrasekhar-Mass White Dwarf Detonations
Ken J. Shen, Stéphane Blondin, Daniel Kasen +4
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) span a range of luminosities and timescales, from rapidly evolving subluminous to slowly evolving overluminous subtypes. Previous theoretical work has,…
Multi-Dimensional Parameter Study of Double Detonation Type Ia Supernovae Originating from Thin-Helium-Shell White Dwarfs
Samuel J. Boos, Dean M. Townsley, Ken J. Shen +2
Despite the importance of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) throughout astronomy, the precise progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms that drive SNe Ia are still unknown. An explosio…
