Simplified Hydrostatic Carbon Burning in White Dwarf Interiors
Francisco Förster, Pierre Lesaffre, Philipp Podsiadlowski
We introduce two simplified nuclear networks that can be used in hydrostatic carbon burning reactions occurring in white dwarf interiors. They model the relevant nuclear reactions…
Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA)
Bill Paxton, Lars Bildsten, Aaron Dotter +3
Stellar physics and evolution calculations enable a broad range of research in astrophysics. Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) is a suite of open source librar…
Strong CH+ J=1-0 emission and absorption in DR21
E. Falgarone, V. Ossenkopf, M. Gerin +30
We report the first detection of the ground-state rotational transition of the methylidyne cation CH+ towards the massive star-forming region DR21 with the HIFI instrument onboard…
Uncertainties and robustness of the ignition process in type Ia supernovae
L. Iapichino, P. Lesaffre
It is widely accepted that the onset of the explosive carbon burning in the core of a CO WD triggers the ignition of a SN Ia. The features of the ignition are among the few free pa…
