The interaction of core-collapse supernova ejecta with a companion star
Zheng-Wei Liu, Thomas M. Tauris, Friedrich K. Roepke +4
The progenitors of many CCSNe are expected to be in binary systems. After the SN explosion, the companion may suffer from mass stripping and be shock heated as a result of the impa…
Did the progenitor of SN2011dh have a binary companion?
J. R. Maund, I. Arcavi, M. Ergon +6
We present late-time Hubble Space Telescope (HST) ultraviolet (UV) and optical observations of the site of SN 2011dh in the galaxy M51, ~1164 days post-explosion. At the SN locatio…
Early ultraviolet signatures from the interaction of Type Ia supernova ejecta with a stellar companion
Zheng-Wei Liu, Takashi J. Moriya, Richard J. Stancliffe
The progenitors of SNe Ia are not yet fully understood. The two leading progenitor scenarios are the single-degenerate (SD) scenario and the double-degenerate scenario. In the SD s…
Pre-explosion companion stars in Type Iax supernovae
Zheng-Wei Liu, Richard J. Stancliffe, Carlo Abate +1
Type Iax supernovae (SNe Iax) are proposed as one new sub-class of SNe Ia since they present observational properties that are sufficiently distinct from the bulk of SNe Ia. SNe Ia…
Modelling the observed properties of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars using binary population synthesis
C. Abate, O. R. Pols, R. J. Stancliffe +4
The stellar population in the Galactic halo is characterised by a large fraction of CEMP stars. Most CEMP stars are enriched in -elements (CEMP- stars), and some of these are…
Evolution and nucleosynthesis of helium-rich asymptotic giant branch models
Luke J. Shingles, Carolyn L. Doherty, Amanda I. Karakas +3
There is now strong evidence that some stars have been born with He mass fractions as high as (e.g., in Centauri). However, the advanced evolution, chemical yi…
