On Silicon Group Elements Ejected by Supernovae Type Ia
Soma De, F. X. Timmes, Themis Athanassiadou +6
There is compelling evidence that the peak brightness of a Type Ia supernova is affected by the electron fraction Ye at the time of the explosion. The electron fraction is set by t…
Asymmetry and the Nucleosynthetic Signature of Nearly Edge-Lit Detonation in White Dwarf Cores
David A. Chamulak, Casey A. Meakin, Ivo R. Seitenzahl +1
Most of the leading explosion scenarios for Type Ia supernovae involve the nuclear incineration of a white dwarf star through a detonation wave. Several scenarios have been propose…
Evaluating Systematic Dependencies of Type Ia Supernovae
Alan C. Calder, Brendan K. Krueger, Aaron P. Jackson +4
Type Ia supernovae are bright stellar explosions thought to occur when a thermonuclear runaway consumes roughly a solar mass of degenerate stellar material. These events produce an…
Evaluating Systematic Dependencies of Type Ia Supernovae: The Influence of Deflagration to Detonation Density
Aaron P. Jackson, Alan C. Calder, Dean M. Townsley +3
We explore the effects of the deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) density on the production of Ni-56 in thermonuclear supernova explosions (type Ia supernovae). Within the…
Evaluating Systematic Dependencies of Type Ia Supernovae: The Influence of Progenitor Ne22 Content on Dynamics
Dean M. Townsley, Aaron P. Jackson, Alan C. Calder +3
We present a theoretical framework for formal study of systematic effects in Supernovae Type Ia (SN Ia) that utilizes 2-d simulations to implement a form of the deflagration-detona…
The Reduction of the Electron Abundance during the Pre-explosion Simmering in White Dwarf Supernovae
David A. Chamulak, Edward F. Brown, F. X. Timmes +1
Prior to the explosion of a carbon-oxygen white dwarf in a Type Ia supernova there is a long "simmering," during which the 12C + 12C reaction gradually heats the white dwarf on a l…
