Trans-Fe elements from Type Ia Supernovae. I. Heavy element nucleosynthesis during the formation of near-Chandrasekhar white dwarfs
Umberto Battino, James Keegans, Megan Allen +9
Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) are thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs in binary systems. They are central to galactic chemical evolution and serve as standardizable candles in cos…
Type Ia supernova explosion models are inherently multidimensional
R. Pakmor, I. R. Seitenzahl, A. J. Ruiter +5
Theoretical and observational approaches to settling the important questions surrounding the progenitor systems and the explosion mechanism of normal Type Ia supernovae have thus f…
Thermonuclear explosions of rapidly differentially rotating white dwarfs: Candidates for superluminous Type Ia supernovae?
M. Fink, M. Kromer, W. Hillebrandt +4
The observed sub-class of "superluminous" Type Ia supernovae lacks a convincing theoretical explanation. If the emission of such objects were powered exclusively by radioactive dec…
Using late-time optical and near-infrared spectra to constrain Type Ia supernova explosion properties
K. Maguire, S. A. Sim, L. Shingles +14
The late-time spectra of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are powerful probes of the underlying physics of their explosions. We investigate the late-time optical and near-infrared spect…
Predicting polarization signatures for double-detonation and delayed-detonation models of Type Ia supernovae
M. Bulla, S. A. Sim, M. Kromer +8
Calculations of synthetic spectropolarimetry are one means to test multi-dimensional explosion models for Type Ia supernovae. In a recent paper, we demonstrated that the violent me…
Type Ia supernovae from violent mergers of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs: polarisation signatures
M. Bulla, S. A. Sim, R. Pakmor +5
The violent merger of two carbon-oxygen white dwarfs has been proposed as a viable progenitor for some Type Ia supernovae. However, it has been argued that the strong ejecta asymme…
