Capturing the Fire: Flame Energetics and Neutronizaton for Type Ia Supernova Simulations
A. C. Calder, D. M. Townsley, I. R. Seitenzahl +6
We develop and calibrate a realistic model flame for hydrodynamical simulations of deflagrations in white dwarf (Type Ia) supernovae. Our flame model builds on the advection-diffus…
Two Additions to the New Class of Low Accretion-Rate Magnetic Binaries
Gary D. Schmidt, Paula Szkody, Arne Henden +4
Two new magnetic white dwarf accretion binaries with extremely low mass-transfer rates have been discovered in the course of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Measured magnetic fields…
HETE-2 Localizations and Observations of Four Short Gamma-Ray Bursts: GRBs 010326B, 040802, 051211 and 060121
T. Q. Donaghy, D. Q. Lamb, T. Sakamoto +34
Here we report the localizations and properties of four short-duration GRBs localized by the High Energy Transient Explorer 2 satellite (HETE-2): GRBs 010326B, 040802, 051211 and 0…
GRB 060121: Implications of a Short/Intermediate Duration Gamma-Ray Burst at High Redshift
A. de Ugarte Postigo, A. J. Castro-Tirado, S. Guziy +23
Since the discovery of the first short-hard gamma-ray burst afterglows in 2005, the handful of observed events have been found to be embedded in nearby (z < 1), bright underlying g…
An Optically Dark GRB Observed by HETE-2: GRB 051022
Yujin E. Nakagawa, Atsumasa Yoshida, Satoshi Sugita +33
GRB 051022 was detected at 13:07:58 on 22 October 2005 by HETE-2. The location of GRB 051022 was determined immediately by the flight localization system. This burst contains multi…
A Study of Compact Object Mergers as Short Gamma-ray Burst Progenitors
Krzysztof Belczynski, Rosalba Perna, Tomasz Bulik +3
We present a theoretical study of double compact objects as potential short/hard gamma-ray burst (GRB) progenitors. An updated population synthesis code StarTrack is used to calcul…
