Type II Supernovae as Probes of Cosmology
Dovi Poznanski, Eddie Baron, Stephane Blondin +26
- Constraining the cosmological parameters and understanding Dark Energy have tremendous implications for the nature of the Universe and its physical laws. - The pervasive limit of…
Neutrino signatures and the neutrino-driven wind in Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Luc Dessart, Christian Ott, Adam Burrows +2
We present VULCAN/2D multi-group flux-limited-diffusion radiation hydrodynamics simulations of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers, using the Shen equation of state, covering ~100 ms…
Probing Shock Breakout with Serendipitous GALEX Detections of Two SNLS Type II-P Supernovae
Suvi Gezari, Luc Dessart, Stephane Basa +13
We report the serendipitous detection by GALEX of fast (<1 day) rising (>1 mag) UV emission from two Type II plateau (II-P) supernovae (SNe) at z=0.185 and 0.324 discovered by the…
SN 1994W: An Interacting Supernova or Two Interacting Shells?
Luc Dessart, D. John Hillier, Suvi Gezari +2
We present a multi-epoch quantitative spectroscopic analysis of the Type IIn SN 1994W, an event interpreted by Chugai et al. as stemming from the interaction between the ejecta of…
Swift and Chandra Detections of Supernova 2006jc: Evidence for Interaction of the Supernova Shock with a Circumstellar Shell
S. Immler, M. Modjaz, W. Landsman +20
The peculiar Type Ib supernova (SN) 2006jc has been observed with the UV/Optical Telescope (UVOT) and X-Ray Telescope (XRT) on board the Swift observatory over a period of 19 to 18…
Using Quantitative Spectroscopic Analysis to Determine the Properties and Distances of Type II-Plateau Supernovae: SNe 2005cs and 2006bp
Luc Dessart, Stephane Blondin, Peter J. Brown +8
We analyze the Type II Plateau supernovae (SN II-P) 2005cs and 2006bp with the non-LTE model atmosphere code CMFGEN. We fit 13 spectra in the first month for SN 2005cs and 18 for S…
