Mechanisms of Core-Collapse Supernovae & Simulation Results from the CHIMERA Code
S. W. Bruenn, A. Mezzacappa, W. R. Hix +5
Unraveling the mechanism for core-collapse supernova explosions is an outstanding computational challenge and the problem remains essentially unsolved despite more than four decade…
Spectral libraries and their uncertainties
Paula Coelho
Libraries of stellar spectra are fundamental tools in the study of stellar populations and in automatic determination of atmospheric parameters for large samples of observed stars.…
Unsolved Problems about Supernovae
Nino Panagia
A number of unsolved problems and open questions about the nature and the properties of supernovae are identified and briefly discussed. Some suggestions and directions toward poss…
The rate of type Ia Supernovae and the star formation history
L. Greggio, E. Cappellaro
The scaling of the rate of type Ia Supernovae (SNIa) with the parent galaxies' color provides information on the distribution of the delay times (DTD) of the SNIa progenitors. We s…
The End of Amnesia: Measuring the Metallicities of Type Ia SN Progenitors with Manganese Lines in Supernova Remnants
Carles Badenes, Eduardo Bravo, John P. Hughes
The Mn to Cr mass ratio in supernova ejecta has recently been proposed as a tracer of Type Ia SN progenitor metallicity. We review the advantages and problems of this observable qu…
The supernova rate: a critical ingredient and an important tool
F. Mannucci
In this review I summarize the role of supernova rate as a critical ingredient of modern astrophysics, and as an important tool to understand SN explosions. Many years of active ob…
