Early Hydrodynamic Evolution of a Stellar Collision
Doron Kushnir, Boaz Katz
The early phase of the hydrodynamic evolution following collision of two stars is analyzed. Two strong shocks propagate at a constant velocity (which is a small fraction of the vel…
The energy production rate density of cosmic rays in the local universe is at all particle energies
Boaz Katz, Eli Waxman, Todd Thompson +1
The energy output (per logarithmic interval of particle energies) of Cosmic Rays (CRs) with energies is …
AMS02 results support the secondary origin of cosmic ray positrons
Kfir Blum, Boaz Katz, Eli Waxman
We show that the recent AMS02 positron fraction measurement is consistent with a secondary origin for positrons, and does not require additional primary sources such as pulsars or…
Non-relativistic radiation mediated shock breakouts: III. Spectral properties of SN shock breakout
Nir Sapir, Boaz Katz, Eli Waxman
The spectrum of radiation emitted following shock breakout from a star's surface with a power-law density profile is investigated. Assuming planar geometry, local Co…
Head-on collisions of white dwarfs in triple systems could explain type Ia supernova
Doron Kushnir, Boaz Katz, Subo Dong +2
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), thermonuclear explosions of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (CO-WDs), are currently the best cosmological "standard candles", but the triggering mechanism o…
An exact integral relation between the Ni56 mass and the bolometric light curve of a type Ia supernova
Boaz Katz, Doron Kushnir, Subo Dong
An exact relation between the Ni56 mass and the bolometric light curve of a type Ia supernova can be derived as follows, using the following excellent approximations: 1. the emissi…
