Numerical Treatment of Shock-Induced Nuclear Burning in Double Detonation Type Ia Supernovae
Ryan Brady, Michael Zingale
We present a benchmark problem to assess the treatment of shock-induced nuclear burning in the context of double detonation Type Ia supernovae. In a stratified white dwarf model, w…
Multidimensional Nova Simulations with an Extended Buffer and Lower Initial Mixing Temperatures
Alexander Smith Clark, Michael Zingale
A classical nova is a thermonuclear runaway initiated on a white dwarf accreting solar-like material from its stellar companion. Once the white dwarf accretes enough mass, the pres…
3D Convective Urca Process in a Simmering White Dwarf
Brendan Boyd, Alan Calder, Dean Townsley +1
A proposed setting for thermonuclear (Type Ia) supernovae is a white dwarf that has gained mass from a companion to the point of carbon ignition in the core. In the early stages of…
Strong Coupling of Hydrodynamics and Reactions in Nuclear Statistical Equilibrium for Modeling Convection in Massive Stars
Michael Zingale, Zhi Chen, Eric T. Johnson +2
We build on the simplified spectral deferred corrections (SDC) coupling of hydrodynamics and reactions to handle the case of nuclear statistical equilibrium (NSE) and electron/posi…
Sensitivity of 3D Convective Urca Simulations to Changes in Urca Reactions
Brendan Boyd, Alexander Smith Clark, Alan C. Calder +2
A proposed setting for thermonuclear (Type Ia) supernovae is a white dwarf that has gained mass from a companion to the point of carbon ignition in the core. There is a simmering p…
MESA-Web: A cloud resource for stellar evolution in astronomy curricula
Carl E. Fields, Richard H. D. Townsend, A. L. Dotter +2
We present MESA-Web, a cloud resource with an online interface to the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) software instrument. MESA-Web allows learners to evolve…
