Cell-based theoretical criteria on the onset and stability limit of thermonuclear detonation
Kazuya Iwata, Keiichi Maeda, Ken J. Shen
One of the key unresolved problems in thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs (WDs), including type Ia supernovae, is the condition for ignition and propagation of thermonuclear f…
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…
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…
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…
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…
