Constraining Type Ia Supernovae progenitors from three years of SNLS data
F. B. Bianco, D. A. Howell, M. Sullivan +20
While it is generally accepted that Type Ia supernovae are the result of the explosion of a carbon-oxygen White Dwarf accreting mass in a binary system, the details of their genesi…
Confronting 2D delayed-detonation models with light curves and spectra of Type Ia supernovae
S. Blondin, D. Kasen, F. K. Roepke +2
We compare models for Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) light curves and spectra with an extensive set of observations. The models come from a recent survey of 44 two-dimensional delayed-d…
Absorption line systems in simulated galaxies fed by cold streams
Michele Fumagalli, J. Xavier Prochaska, Daniel Kasen +3
Hydro cosmological simulations reveal that massive galaxies at high redshift are fed by long narrow streams of merging galaxies and a smoother component of cold gas. We post-proces…
Pair Instability Supernovae: Light Curves, Spectra, and Shock Breakout
Daniel Kasen, S. E. Woosley, Alexander Heger
For the initial mass range (140 < M < 260 Msun) stars die in a thermonuclear runaway triggered by the pair-production instability. The supernovae they make can be remarkably energe…
