Discovery of a runaway star likely ejected by a Type Iax Supernova

A. Bhat, M. Hollands, M. Dorsch +5

Over the past decade, runaway stars have been identified, believed to originate either as surviving donors of Type Ia supernovae or as partially deflagrated accretors producing Typ…

Drawing the line between explosion and collapse in electron-capture supernovae -- I. Impact of conductive flame speeds and ignition conditions on the explosion mechanism

Alexander Holas, Samuel W. Jones, Friedrich K. Roepke +5

Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe) are commonly thought to result in a collapse to a neutron star. Recent work has shown that a thermonuclear explosion is also a possible outcome.…

Multiple outflows and delayed ejections revealed by early imaging of novae

Elias Aydi, John D. Monnier, Antoine Mérand +39

Novae are thermonuclear eruptions on accreting white dwarfs in interacting binaries. Although most of the accreted envelope is expelled, the mechanism -- impulsive ejection, multip…

He-star donor pathway for the hypervelocity star D6-2

Abinaya Swaruba Rajamuthukumar, Ruediger Pakmor, Stephen Justham +2

Type Ia supernovae are thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs, yet the nature of their progenitor systems remains uncertain. Recent discoveries of hypervelocity stars provide uni…

Violent mergers can explain the inflated state of some of the fastest stars in the Galaxy

Aakash Bhat, Rüdiger Pakmor, Ken J. Shen +2

A significant number of hypervelocity stars with velocities between km/s have recently been observed. The only plausible explanation so far is that they have been produ…

Violent mergers revisited: The origin of the fastest stars in the Galaxy

Rüdiger Pakmor, Ken J. Shen, Aakash Bhat +12

Binary systems of two carbon-oxygen white dwarfs are one of the most promising candidates for the progenitor systems of Type Ia supernovae. Violent mergers, where the primary white…
