The Optical to X-ray Luminosity and Spectrum of Supernova Wind Breakouts
Tal Wasserman, Nir Sapir, Peter Szabo +1
Observations indicate that optically thick circum-stellar medium (CSM) at radii of cm around Type II core-collapse supernovae (SN) progenitors is common (and may…
Shock cooling emission from explosions of massive stars: III. Blue Super Giants
J. Morag, N. Sapir, E. Waxman
Light emission in the first hours and days following core-collapse supernovae is dominated by the escape of photons from the expanding shock-heated envelope. In preceding papers, w…
Shock cooling emission from explosions of red super-giants: II. An analytic model of deviations from blackbody emission
Jonathan Morag, Ido Irani, Nir Sapir +1
Light emission in the first hours and days following core-collapse supernovae (SNe) is dominated by the escape of photons from the expanding shock heated envelope. In a preceding p…
Shock cooling emission from explosions of red super-giants: I. A numerically calibrated analytic model
Jonathan Morag, Nir Sapir, Eli Waxman
Supernova light curves are dominated at early time, hours to days, by the escape of photons from the expanding shock heated envelope. We provide a simple analytic description of th…
Confined Dense Circumstellar Material Surrounding a Regular Type II Supernova: The Unique Flash-Spectroscopy Event of SN 2013fs
O. Yaron, D. A. Perley, A. Gal-Yam +30
With the advent of new wide-field, high-cadence optical transient surveys, our understanding of the diversity of core-collapse supernovae has grown tremendously in the last decade.…
UV/Optical emission from the expanding envelopes of type II supernovae
Nir Sapir, Eli Waxman
The early part of a supernova (SN) light-curve is dominated by radiation escaping from the expanding shock-heated progenitor envelope. For polytropic Hydrogen envelopes, the proper…
