X-rays, gamma-rays and neutrinos from collisoinless shocks in supernova wind breakouts
Boaz Katz, Nir Sapir, Eli Waxman
We show that a collisionless shock necessarily forms during the shock breakout of a supernova (SN) surrounded by an optically thick wind. An intense non-thermal flash of <~ MeV gam…

Non-relativistic radiation mediated shock breakouts: II. Bolometric properties of SN shock breakout
Boaz Katz, Nir Sapir, Eli Waxman
Exact bolometric light curves of supernova shock breakouts are derived based on the universal, non relativistic, planar breakout solutions (Sapir et al. 2011), assuming spherical s…

Non-relativistic radiation mediated shock breakouts: I. Exact bolometric planar breakout solutions
Nir Sapir, Boaz Katz, Eli Waxman
The problem of a non-steady planar radiation mediated shock (RMS) breaking out from a surface with a power-law density profile, ρ\propto x^n, is numerically solved in the approxima…
