Quantitative modelling of type Ia supernovae spectral time series III: Implications for type Ia supernovae standardisation in cosmology
M. R. Magee
The physics driving type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) standardisation in cosmology remains poorly-understood. Recent advances however mean that it is now possible to systematically analy…
Quantitative modelling of type Ia supernovae spectral time series II: Exploring the diversity of thermonuclear explosion scenarios
M. R. Magee
Observations of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have led to suggestions of multiple progenitor and explosion scenarios. Distinguishing between scenarios and tying specific SNe Ia to in…
Searching for outbursts from Symbiotic Binaries in GOTO and ATLAS data
G. Ramsay, K. Ackley, S. Belkin +46
Symbiotic Binaries contain a white dwarf accreting material from a red giant star through a wind. We present the results of a search for outbursts from Symbiotic Binaries using pho…
GOTO identification and broadband modelling of the counterpart to the SVOM GRB 250818B
S. Belkin, G. P. Lamb, K. Ackley +61
Rapid localisation and follow-up of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) increasingly rely on low-latency triggers from new missions coupled to wide-field robotic optical facilities. We present…
iPTF16geu through the lens of thermonuclear explosion models
Ana Sainz de Murieta, Mark R. Magee, Tian Li +2
The magnification resulting from strong gravitational lensing is a powerful tool to add new constraints to the cosmic evolution of supernova progenitors by enabling the study of di…
A super-Chandrasekhar mass type Ia supernova progenitor at 49 pc set to detonate in 23 Gyr
James Munday, Ruediger Pakmor, Ingrid Pelisoli +9
Double white dwarf binaries are a leading explanation to the origin of type Ia supernovae, but no system exceeding the Chandrasekhar mass limit (1.4 M) has been found that…
