What Can the Accretion Induced Collapse of White Dwarfs Really Explain?
C. L. Fryer, W. Benz, M. Herant +1
The accretion induced collapse (AIC) of a white dwarf into a neutron star has been invoked to explain gamma-ray bursts, Type Ia supernovae, and a number of problematic neutron star…
Merging White Dwarf/Black Hole Binaries and Gamma-Ray Bursts
C. L. Fryer, S. E. Woosley, M. Herant +1
The merger of compact binaries, especially black holes and neutron stars, is frequently invoked to explain gamma-ray bursts (GRB's). In this paper, we present three dimensional hyd…
Magnetic Field Effects on the Head Structure of Protostellar Jets
Adriano H. Cerqueira, Elisabete M. de Gouveia Dal Pino, Marc Herant
We present the results of 3-D SPMHD numerical simulations of supermagnetosonic, overdense, radiatively cooling jets. Two initial magnetic configurations are considered: (i) a helic…
The Dynamics and Outcomes of Rapid Infall onto Neutron Stars
Chris L. Fryer, Willy Benz, Marc Herant
We present an extensive study of accretion onto neutron stars in which the velocity of the neutron star and structure of the surrounding medium is such that the Bondi-Hoyle accreti…
Inside the Supernova: A Powerful Convective Engine
Marc Herant, Willy Benz, W. Raphael Hix +2
Condensed Abstract: We present an extensive study of the inception of supernova explosions by following the evolution of the cores of two massive stars (15 Msun and 25 Msun) in two…
