A Compact Degenerate Primary-Star Progenitor of SN 2011fe
Joshua S. Bloom, Daniel Kasen, Ken J. Shen +10
While a white dwarf is, from a theoretical perspective, the most plausible primary star in Type Ia supernova (SN Ia), many other candidates have not been formally ruled out. Shock…
Constraints on the Progenitor System of the Type Ia Supernova SN 2011fe/PTF11kly
Weidong Li, Joshua S. Bloom, Philipp Podsiadlowski +25
Type Ia supernovae (SNe) serve as a fundamental pillar of modern cosmology, owing to their large luminosity and a well-defined relationship between light-curve shape and peak brigh…
The Long-Term Evolution of Double White Dwarf Mergers
Ken J. Shen, Lars Bildsten, Daniel Kasen +1
In this paper, we present a model for the long-term evolution of the merger of two unequal mass C/O white dwarfs (WDs). After the dynamical phase of the merger, magnetic stresses r…
