Spectacular nucleosynthesis from early massive stars
Alexander P. Ji, Sanjana Curtis, Nicholas Storm +39
Stars formed with initial mass over 50 Msun are very rare today, but they are thought to be more common in the early universe. The fates of those early, metal-poor, massive stars a…
Core-Collapse Supernovae: From Neutrino-Driven 1D Explosions to Light Curves and Spectra
Sanjana Curtis, Noah Wolfe, Carla Fröhlich +3
We present bolometric and broadband light curves and spectra for a suite of core-collapse supernova models exploded self-consistently in spherical symmetry within the PUSH framewor…
Pair-Instability Supernova Simulations: Progenitor Evolution, Explosion, and Light Curves
Matthew S. Gilmer, Alexandra Kozyreva, Raphael Hirschi +2
In recent years, the viability of the pair-instability supernova (PISN) scenario for explaining superluminous supernovae has all but disappeared except for a few slowly-evolving ex…
PUSHing Core-Collapse Supernovae to Explosions in Spherical Symmetry: Nucleosynthesis Yields
Sanjana Sinha, Carla Fröhlich, Kevin Ebinger +5
Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are the extremely energetic deaths of massive stars. They play a vital role in the synthesis and dissemination of many heavy elements in the univer…
Effects of Dimensionality on Pair-Instability Supernova Explosions
Matthew S. Gilmer, Alexandra Kozyreva, Raphael Hirschi +1
Since the emergence of the new class of extremely bright transients, super-luminous supernovae (SLSNe), three main mechanisms to power their light curves (LCs) have been discussed.…
Pushing 1D CCSNe to explosions: model and SN 1987A
A. Perego, M. Hempel, C. Fröhlich +5
We report on a method, PUSH, for triggering core-collapse supernova explosions of massive stars in spherical symmetry. We explore basic explosion properties and calibrate PUSH such…
