A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source
S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118
Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…
Spectral sequences of Type Ia supernovae. I. Connecting normal and sub-luminous SN Ia and the presence of unburned carbon
E. Heringer, M. H. van Kerkwijk, S. A. Sim +1
Type Ia supernovae are generally agreed to arise from thermonuclear explosions of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs. The actual path to explosion, however, remains elusive, with numerous…
Abundance Tomography of Type Iax SN 2011ay with TARDIS
Barnabas Barna, Tamas Szalai, Markus Kromer +5
We present a detailed spectral analysis of Type Iax SN 2011ay. Our spectra cover epochs between -3 and +19 days with respect to the maximum light in B-band. This time range allows…
Extremely late photometry of SN~2011fe
W. E. Kerzendorf, C. McCully, S. Taubenberger +6
Type Ia supernovae are widely accepted to be the outcomes of thermonuclear explosions in white dwarf stars. However, many details of these explosions remain uncertain (e.g. the mas…
Bayesian modelling of uncertainties of Monte Carlo radiative-transfer simulations
Frederik Beaujean, Hans C. Eggers, Wolfgang E. Kerzendorf
One of the big challenges in astrophysics is the comparison of complex simulations to observations. As many codes do not directly generate observables (e.g. hydrodynamic simulation…
Knowledge discovery through text-based similarity searches for astronomy literature
W. E. Kerzendorf
The increase in the number of researchers coupled with the ease of publishing and distribution of scientific papers (due to technological advancements) has resulted in a dramatic i…
