Detecting the signatures of helium in type Iax supernovae
M. R. Magee, S. A. Sim, R. Kotak +2
Recent studies have argued that the progenitor system of type Iax supernovae must consist of a carbon-oxygen white dwarf accreting from a helium star companion. Based on existing e…
The Cow: discovery of a luminous, hot and rapidly evolving transient
S. J. Prentice, K. Maguire, S. J. Smartt +27
We present the ATLAS discovery and initial analysis of the first 18 days of the unusual transient event, ATLAS18qqn/AT2018cow. It is characterized by a high peak luminosity (…
Type Iax SNe as a few-parameter family
Barnabas Barna, Tamas Szalai, Wolfgang E. Kerzendorf +4
We present direct spectroscopic modeling of five Type Iax supernovae (SNe) with the one dimensional Monte Carlo radiative transfer code TARDIS. The abundance tomography technique i…
Modelling the early time behaviour of type Ia supernovae: effects of the Ni distribution
M. R. Magee, S. A. Sim, R. Kotak +1
Recent studies have demonstrated the diversity in type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at early times and highlighted a need for a better understanding of the explosion physics as manifeste…
