Energetic eruptions leading to a peculiar hydrogen-rich explosion of a massive star
Iair Arcavi, D. Andrew Howell, Daniel Kasen +50
Every supernova hitherto observed has been considered to be the terminal explosion of a star. Moreover, all supernovae with absorption lines in their spectra show those lines decre…
The Evolution of the Type Ia Supernova Luminosity Function
Ken J. Shen, Silvia Toonen, Or Graur
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) exhibit a wide diversity of peak luminosities and light curve shapes: the faintest SNe Ia are 10 times less luminous and evolve more rapidly than the br…
A Search for a Surviving White Dwarf Companion in SN 1006
W. E. Kerzendorf, G. Strampelli, K. J. Shen +5
Multiple channels have been proposed to produce Type Ia supernovae, with many scenarios suggesting that the exploding white dwarf accretes from a binary companion pre-explosion. In…
Sub-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf detonations revisited
Ken J. Shen, Daniel Kasen, Broxton J. Miles +1
The detonation of a sub-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf (WD) has emerged as one of the most promising Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitor scenarios. Recent studies have suggested t…
