Multi-dimensional NLTE radiative transfer for a double detonation Type Ia explosion model in the photospheric phase
F. P. Callan, L. J. Shingles, S. A. Sim +7
Previous radiative transfer calculations have shown that both multi-dimensionality and NLTE (non local thermodynamic equilibrium) effects impact the synthetic observables predicted…
Multidimensional Nebular-Phase Calculations of Dynamically-Driven Double-Degenerate Double-Detonation Models for Type Ia Supernovae
J. M. Pollin, S. A. Sim, L. J. Shingles +7
The dynamically-driven double-degenerate double-detonation model has emerged as a promising progenitor candidate for Type Ia supernovae. In this scenario, the primary white dwarf i…
NLTE spectral modelling for a carbon-oxygen and helium white-dwarf merger as a Ca-rich transient candidate
F. P. Callan, A. Holas, J. Morán-Fraile +7
We carry out NLTE (non local thermodynamic equilibrium) radiative transfer simulations to determine whether explosion during the merger of a carbon-oxygen (CO) white dwarf (WD) wit…
Synthetic Light Curves and Spectra for the Photospheric Phase of a 3D Stripped-Envelope Supernova Explosion Model
Thomas Maunder, Fionntan P. Callan, Stuart A. Sim +2
We present synthetic light curves and spectra from three-dimensional (3D) Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations based on a 3D core-collapse supernova explosion model of an ult…
Exploring the range of impacts of helium in the spectra of double detonation models for Type Ia supernovae
F. P. Callan, C. E. Collins, S. A. Sim +7
Models of sub-Chandrasekhar mass double detonations for Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) suggest a distinguishing property of this scenario is unburnt helium in the outer ejecta. Howeve…
On the fate of the secondary white dwarf in double-degenerate double-detonation Type Ia supernovae -- II. 3D synthetic observables
J. M. Pollin, S. A. Sim, R. Pakmor +5
A leading model for Type Ia supernovae involves the double-detonation of a sub-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarf. Double-detonations arise when a surface helium shell detonation gener…
