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…
