Determining the Ni distribution of type Ia supernovae from observations within days of explosion
M. R. Magee, K. Maguire, R. Kotak +4
Recent studies have shown how the distribution of Ni within the ejecta of type Ia supernovae can have profound consequences on the observed light curves. Observations at ear…
Spectral modeling of type II supernovae II. A machine learning approach to quantitative spectroscopic analysis
C. Vogl, W. E. Kerzendorf, S. A. Sim +3
There are now hundreds of publicly available supernova spectral time series. Radiative transfer modeling of this data gives insights into the physical properties of these explosion…
SN2018kzr: a rapidly declining transient from the destruction of a white dwarf
Owen R. McBrien, Stephen J. Smartt, Ting-Wan Chen +31
We present SN2018kzr, the fastest declining supernova-like transient, second only to the kilonova, AT2017gfo. SN2018kzr is characterized by a peak magnitude of , peak…
Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer
Ulrich M. Noebauer, Stuart A. Sim
The theory and numerical modelling of radiation processes and radiative transfer play a key role in astrophysics: they provide the link between the physical properties of an object…
Catching Element Formation In The Act
Chris L. Fryer, Frank Timmes, Aimee L. Hungerford +216
Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics. It encompasses a wide range of objects…
Spectral sequences of Type Ia supernovae. II. Carbon as a diagnostic tool for explosion mechanisms
E. Heringer, M. H. van Kerkwijk, S. A. Sim +2
How an otherwise inert carbon-oxygen white dwarf can be made to explode as a Type Ia supernova remains unknown. A promising test of theoretical models is to constrain the distribut…
