The double white dwarf merger model for the progenitors of SN 2021yfj-like events
Dongdong Liu, Chengyuan Wu, Takashi J. Moriya +4
Context. Recently, a new class of supernovae with prominent narrow emission features of Si, S and Ar has been reported, i.e. SN 2021yfj-like events (SNe Ien). Their progenitor orig…
Elemental Abundances from Off-center Carbon Burning in Accreting CO White Dwarfs: Implications for SN 2021yfj-like events
Chengyuan Wu, Dongdong Liu, Takashi J. Moriya +3
SN 2021yfj is a recently discovered interacting supernova that exhibits narrow emission lines of Si, S, and Ar, indicating the presence of circumstellar material (CSM) enriched wit…
Ultra-compact X-ray Binaries: A Review
Bo Wang, Dongdong Liu, Yunlang Guo +3
Ultra-compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) are a subclass of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) characterized by ultra-short orbital periods, typically less than min. They consist…
Formation of black holes from He stars
Gang Long, Bo Wang, Philipp Podsiadlowski +5
Massive He stars are potential candidates of type Ib/c supernova (SN) progenitors. Understanding their final fates remains a key issue in astrophysics. In this work, we investigate…
Supernovae interacting with Si and S-rich circumstellar matter from double white dwarf mergers
Takashi J. Moriya, Chengyuan Wu, Dongdong Liu +2
We present that supernovae interacting with a dense Si and S-rich circumstellar matter like SN 2021yfj can originate from mergers of two white dwarfs. A C+O white dwarf accreting H…
The Formation of Electron-capture Supernovae: A Review
Bo Wang, Dongdong Liu, Yunlang Guo +1
It is generally believed that the electron-capture reactions happen when the oxygen-neon (ONe) cores grow in masses close to the Chandrasekhar limit, leading to the formation of ne…
