White Dwarf Mergers on Adaptive Meshes I. Methodology and Code Verification
Max P. Katz, Michael Zingale, Alan C. Calder +3
The Type Ia supernova progenitor problem is one of the most perplexing and exciting problems in astrophysics, requiring detailed numerical modeling to complement observations of th…
Low Mach Number Modeling of Convection in Helium Shells on Sub-Chandrasekhar White Dwarfs II: Bulk Properties of Simple Models
Adam M. Jacobs, Michael Zingale, Andy Nonaka +2
The dynamics of helium shell convection driven by nuclear burning establish the conditions for runaway in the sub-Chandrasekhar mass, double detonation model for Type Ia supernovae…
Comparisons of Two- and Three-Dimensional Convection in Type I X-ray Bursts
M. Zingale, C. M. Malone, A. Nonaka +2
We perform the first detailed three-dimensional simulation of low Mach number convection preceding thermonuclear ignition in a mixed H/He X-ray burst. Our simulations include a mod…
Pair-Instability Supernovae of Non-Zero Metallicity Stars
Ke-Jung Chen, Alexander Heger, Stan Woosley +2
Observational evidence suggests that some very massive stars in the local Universe may die as pair-instability supernovae. We present 2D simulations of the pair-instability superno…
Multidimensional Modeling of Type I X-ray Bursts. II. Two-Dimensional Convection in a Mixed H/He Accretor
C. M. Malone, M. Zingale, A. Nonaka +2
Type I X-ray Bursts (XRBs) are thermonuclear explosions of accreted material on the surfaces of a neutron stars in low mass X-ray binaries. Prior to the ignition of a subsonic burn…
Pair Instability Supernovae of Very Massive Population III Stars
Ke-Jung Chen, Alexander Heger, Stan Woosley +2
Numerical studies of primordial star formation suggest that the first stars in the universe may have been very massive. Stellar models indicate that non-rotating Population III sta…
