Shock Breakout from Type Ia Supernova
Anthony L. Piro, Philip Chang, Nevin N. Weinberg
The mode of explosive burning in Type Ia SNe remains an outstanding problem. It is generally thought to begin as a subsonic deflagration, but this may transition into a supersonic…
Spectra and Light Curves of Failed Supernovae
Chris L. Fryer, Peter J. Brown, Filomena Bufano +11
Astronomers have proposed a number of mechanisms to produce supernova explosions. Although many of these mechanisms are now not considered primary engines behind supernovae, they d…
A faint type of supernova from a white dwarf with a helium-rich companion
H. B. Perets, A. Gal-Yam, P. Mazzali +25
Supernovae (SNe) are thought to arise from two different physical processes. The cores of massive, short-lived stars undergo gravitational core collapse and typically eject a few s…
The Galactic Center: A Laboratory for Fundamental Astrophysics and Galactic Nuclei
A. Ghez, M. Morris, J. Lu +24
As the closest example of a galactic nucleus, the Galactic center presents an exquisite laboratory for learning about supermassive black holes (SMBH) and their environs. Detailed s…
