Causal self-consistency of the Blandford--McKee self-similar solution
Gilad Sadeh, Tamar Faran, Doron Kushnir +1
The Blandford--McKee (BM) solution describes the ultra-relativistic self-similar flow behind a strong spherical blast wave propagating into an external density profile $\propto r^{…
FRB 121102: No supernova-like ejecta or magnetar power, hinting at a binary WD merger
Eli Waxman, Eran O. Ofek, Doron Kushnir
We use measurements of the time-dependent dispersion measure of the repeating FRB 121102, together with earlier radio observations of its associated persistent radio source (PRS),…
Column-Density Estimation from the Equivalent Widths of Absorption Doublets
Avshalom Badash, Doron Kushnir
Na I D absorption is widely used to estimate the dust extinction toward Galactic and extragalactic sources, but the inferred column densities are unreliable once the lines saturate…
The Distance to NGC 4258 from Individual Maser Component Tracking
Daniella van der Boom, Doron Kushnir
We present a reanalysis of the water maser system in NGC 4258 to reassess its geometric distance, commonly reported as approximately 7.6 Mpc with percent-level accuracy, a key anch…
Off-centre ignition of sub-Chandrasekhar white dwarfs does not resolve the tension with the observed - relation of type Ia supernovae
Eden Schinasi-Lemberg, Doron Kushnir
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are likely the thermonuclear explosions of carbon-oxygen (CO) white-dwarf (WD) stars, but the exact nature of their progenitor systems remains uncertain…
A cosmic formation site of silicon and sulphur revealed by a new type of supernova explosion
Steve Schulze, Avishay Gal-Yam, Luc Dessart +47
The cores of stars are the cosmic furnaces where light elements are fused into heavier nuclei. The fusion of hydrogen to helium initially powers all stars. The ashes of the fusion…
