Direct evidence for a supernova interacting with a large amount of hydrogen-free circumstellar material
Sagi Ben-Ami, Avishay Gal-Yam, Paolo A. Mazzali +16
We present our observations of SN 2010mb, a Type Ic SN lacking spectroscopic signatures of H and He. SN 2010mb has a slowly-declining light curve (days) that cannot be p…
Early emission from type Ia supernovae
Itay Rabinak, Eli Livne, Eli Waxman
A unique feature of deflagration-to-detonation (DDT) white dwarf explosion models of SNe of type Ia is the presence of a strong shock wave propagating through the outer envelope. W…
PTF11eon/SN2011dh: Discovery of a Type IIb Supernova From a Compact Progenitor in the Nearby Galaxy M51
Iair Arcavi, Avishay Gal-Yam, Ofer Yaron +40
On May 31, 2011 UT a supernova (SN) exploded in the nearby galaxy M51 (the Whirlpool Galaxy). We discovered this event using small telescopes equipped with CCD cameras, as well as…
Long wavelength unstable modes in the far upstream of relativistic collisionless shocks
Itay Rabinak, Boaz Katz, Eli Waxman
The growth rate of long wavelength kinetic instabilities arising due to the interaction of a collimated beam of relativistic particles and a cold unmagnetized plasma are calculated…
The early UV/Optical emission from core-collapse supernovae
Itay Rabinak, Eli Waxman
We derive a simple approximate model describing the early, hours to days, UV/optical supernova emission, which is produced by the expansion of the outer <~0.01 solar mass part of t…
Atom in a coherently controlled squeezed vacuum
Itay Rabinak, Eran Ginossar, Shimon Levit
A broadband squeezed vacuum photon field is characterized by a complex squeezing function. We show that by controlling the wavelength dependence of its phase it is possible to chan…
