Failure of a neutrino-driven explosion after core-collapse may lead to a thermonuclear supernova
Doron Kushnir, Boaz Katz
We demonstrate that after the core-collapse of a massive star, a thermonuclear explosion of the outer shells is possible for some (tuned) initial density and c…

Luminosity function suggests up to 100 white dwarfs within 20 pc may be hiding in multiple systems
Boaz Katz, Subo Dong, Doron Kushnir
We examine the luminosity function of white dwarfs (WDs) in the local ``complete'' WD sample ( pc) of Holberg et. al. 2008. We find that the fraction of bright and young WDs…

Type Ia Supernovae with Bi-Modal Explosions Are Common -- Possible Smoking Gun for Direct Collisions of White-Dwarfs
Subo Dong, Boaz Katz, Doron Kushnir +1
We discover clear doubly-peaked line profiles in 3 out of ~20 type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) with high-quality nebular-phase spectra. The profiles are consistently present in three we…
