The Supernovae Analysis Application (SNAP)
Amanda J. Bayless, Chris L. Fryer, Brandon Wiggins +11
The SuperNovae Analysis aPplication (SNAP) is a new tool for the analysis of SN observations and validation of SN models. SNAP consists of an open source relational database with (…
The Effects on Supernova Shock Breakout and Swift Light Curves Due to the Mass of the Hydrogen-Rich Envelope
Amanda J. Bayless, Wesley Even, Lucille H. Frey +3
Mass loss remains one of the primary uncertainties in stellar evolution. In the most massive stars, mass loss dictates the circumstellar medium and can significantly alter the fate…
Can Stellar Mixing Explain the Lack of Type Ib Supernovae in Long-Duration GRBs?
Lucille H. Frey, Chris L. Fryer, Patrick A. Young
The discovery of supernovae associated with long-duration gamma ray burst observations is primary evidence that the progenitors of these outbursts are massive stars. One of the pri…
Bolometric and UV Light Curves of Core-Collapse Supernovae
T. A. Pritchard, P. W. A. Roming, Peter J Brown +2
The Swift UV-Optical Telescope (UVOT) has been observing Core-Collapse Supernovae (CCSNe) of all subtypes in the UV and optical since 2005. We present here 50 CCSNe observed with t…
Finding the First Cosmic Explosions I: Pair-Instability Supernovae
Daniel J. Whalen, Wesley Even, Lucille H. Frey +9
The first stars are the key to the formation of primitive galaxies, early cosmological reionization and chemical enrichment, and the origin of supermassive black holes. Unfortunate…
The Long-Lived UV "Plateau" of SN 2012aw
Amanda J. Bayless, Tyler Pritchard, Peter W. A. Roming +9
Observations with the Swift UVOT have unambiguously uncovered for the first time a long-lived, UV "plateau" in a Type II-P supernova (SN). Although this flattening in slope is hint…
The Los Alamos Supernova Light Curve Project: Computational Methods
Lucille H. Frey, Wesley Even, Daniel J. Whalen +4
We have entered the era of explosive transient astronomy, in which upcoming real-time surveys like the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) a…
Modeling Emission from the First Explosions: Pitfalls and Problems
Chris L. Fryer, Daniel J. Whalen, Lucille Frey
Observations of the explosions of Population III (Pop III) stars have the potential to teach us much about the formation and evolution of these zero-metallicity objects. To realize…
Spectra of Type Ia Supernovae from Double Degenerate Mergers
Chris L. Fryer, Ashley J. Ruiter, Krzysztof Belczynski +13
The merger of two white dwarfs (a.k.a. double degenerate merger) has often been cited as a potential progenitor of type Ia supernovae. Here we combine population synthesis, merger…
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…
Tidal Streams of Intracluster Light
Craig S. Rudick, J. Christopher Mihos, Lucille H. Frey +1
Using N-body simulations, we have modeled the production and evolution of substructures in the intracluster light (ICL) of a simulated galaxy cluster. We use a density-based defini…
Eight New Millisecond Pulsars in NGC 6440 and NGC 6441
Paulo C. C. Freire, Scott M. Ransom, Steve Begin +4
Motivated by the recent discovery of 30 new millisecond pulsars in Terzan 5, made using the Green Bank Telescope's S-band receiver and the Pulsar Spigot spectrometer, we have set o…
