Ce II-IV emission in kilonovae with R-matrix collision strengths and distorted wave recombination rates

Leo Patrick Mulholland, Niamh Ferguson, Luke J. Shingles +3

We provide transition probabilities and Maxwellian-averaged collision-strengths for the electron-impact excitation of Ce {\sc ii} - {\sc iv}. These ions are potentially abundant in…

Multi-dimensional NLTE radiative transfer for a double detonation Type Ia explosion model in the photospheric phase

F. P. Callan, L. J. Shingles, S. A. Sim +7

Previous radiative transfer calculations have shown that both multi-dimensionality and NLTE (non local thermodynamic equilibrium) effects impact the synthetic observables predicted…

Late-time emission-line profiles from kilonova models

S. A. Sim, O. Just, Z. Xiong +10

Numerical simulations suggest that neutron star mergers eject material with complex, non-spherical density and composition distributions. Here we use two-dimensional configurations…

Observational signatures of thermonuclear electron-capture supernovae -- Ne II line strengthening and color evolution as traces of the explosion mechanism

Alexander Holas, Fionntan P. Callan, Samuel W. Jones +7

Thermonuclear electron-capture supernovae (tECSNe) are a potential fate of certain intermediate mass stars forming ONe cores at the end of their evolution. Simulations suggest that…

Nebular Fingerprints of a Violent White Dwarf Merger: 3D NLTE Modelling of Type Ia Supernovae

J. M. Pollin, R. Pakmor, L. J. Shingles +6

Binary systems composed of two carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (WDs) are a leading progenitor candidate for Type Ia supernovae. One widely discussed scenario is the dynamically driven d…

Exploring the diversity of kilonovae with 3D radiative transfer I. The polar direction

Christine E. Collins, Luke J. Shingles, Vimal Vijayan +7

We present 3D kilonova radiative transfer simulations for a series of binary neutron star merger models. The masses of the neutron stars are varied as well as the total mass of the…
