Opacity of Ejecta in Calculations of Supernova Light Curves
M. Sh. Potashov, S. I. Blinnikov, E. I. Sorokina
The plasma opacity in stars depends mainly on the local state of matter (the density, temperature, and chemical composition at the point of interest), but in supernova ejecta it al…
StaNdaRT: A repository of standardized test models and outputs for supernova radiative transfer
Stéphane Blondin, Sergei Blinnikov, Fionntan P. Callan +26
We present the first results of a comprehensive supernova (SN) radiative-transfer (RT) code-comparison initiative (StaNdaRT), where the emission from the same set of standardized t…
Fast and Luminous Transients from the Explosions of Long Lived Massive White Dwarf Merger Remnants
Jared Brooks, Josiah Schwab, Lars Bildsten +4
We study the evolution and final outcome of long-lived ( years) remnants from the merger of a He white dwarf (WD) with a more massive C/O or O/Ne WD. Using Modules f…
Mass-loss histories of Type IIn supernova progenitors within decades before their explosion
Takashi J. Moriya, Keiichi Maeda, Francesco Taddia +3
We present results of a systematic study of the mass-loss properties of Type IIn supernova progenitors within decades before their explosion. We apply an analytic light curve model…
Photometric observations and preliminary modeling of type IIb supernova 2011dh
D. Yu. Tsvetkov, I. M. Volkov, E. I. Sorokina +3
CCD UBVRI photometry is presented for type IIb SN 2011dh for about 300 days. The main photometric parameters are derived and the comparison with SNe of similar types is reported. T…
Supernovae from Red Supergiants with Extensive Mass Loss
Takashi Moriya, Nozomu Tominaga, Sergei I. Blinnikov +2
We calculate multicolor light curves (LCs) of supernovae (SNe) from red supergiants (RSGs) exploded within dense circumstellar medium (CSM). Multicolor LCs are calculated by using…
