White Dwarfs Near Black Holes: A New Paradigm for Type I Supernovae
J. R. Wilson, G. J. Mathews
We present calculations indicating the possibility of a new class of Type I supernovae. In this new paradigm relativistic terms enhance the self gravity of a carbon-oxygen white dw…
Asymmetric Supernovae from Magneto-Centrifugal Jets
J. Craig Wheeler, David L. Meier, James R. Wilson
Strong toroidal magnetic fields generated in stellar collapse can generate magneto-centrifugal jets in analogy to those found in simulations of black hole accretion and explain why…
Binary Induced Neutron-Star Compression, Heating, and Collapse
G. J. Mathews, J. R. Wilson
We analyze several aspects of the recently noted neutron star collapse instability in close binary systems. We utilize (3+1) dimensional and spherical numerical general relativisti…
Constraints on Dirac Neutrinos from SN 1987A
R. Mayle, D. N. Schramm, M. S. Turner +1
The Livermore Supernova Explosion Code was used to calculate the effect of a massive Dirac neutrino on neutrino emission from SN 1987A in a fully self-consistent manner. Spin-flip…
