White dwarf deflagrations for Type Iax supernovae: Polarisation signatures from the explosion and companion interaction
M. Bulla, Z. -W. Liu, F. K. Roepke +5
Growing evidence suggests that Type Iax supernovae might be the result of thermonuclear deflagrations of Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarfs in binary systems. We carry out Monte Carlo…
Thermonuclear explosions of rapidly differentially rotating white dwarfs: Candidates for superluminous Type Ia supernovae?
M. Fink, M. Kromer, W. Hillebrandt +4
The observed sub-class of "superluminous" Type Ia supernovae lacks a convincing theoretical explanation. If the emission of such objects were powered exclusively by radioactive dec…
A metric space for type Ia supernova spectra: a new method to assess explosion scenarios
Michele Sasdelli, W. Hillebrandt, M. Kromer +4
Over the past years type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have become a major tool to determine the expansion history of the Universe, and considerable attention has been given to, both, obs…
Predicting polarization signatures for double-detonation and delayed-detonation models of Type Ia supernovae
M. Bulla, S. A. Sim, M. Kromer +8
Calculations of synthetic spectropolarimetry are one means to test multi-dimensional explosion models for Type Ia supernovae. In a recent paper, we demonstrated that the violent me…
Three-dimensional simulations of gravitationally confined detonations compared to observations of SN 1991T
Ivo R. Seitenzahl, Markus Kromer, Sebastian T. Ohlmann +9
The gravitationally confined detonation (GCD) model has been proposed as a possible explosion mechanism for Type Ia supernovae in the single-degenerate evolution channel. Driven by…
The type Iax supernova, SN 2015H: a white dwarf deflagration candidate
M. R. Magee, R. Kotak, S. A. Sim +22
We present results based on observations of SN 2015H which belongs to the small group of objects similar to SN 2002cx, otherwise known as type Iax supernovae. The availability of d…
