From Stellar Death to Cosmic Revelations: Zooming in on Compact Objects, Relativistic Outflows and Supernova Remnants with AXIS
S. Safi-Harb, K. B. Burdge, A. Bodaghee +32
Compact objects and supernova remnants provide nearby laboratories to probe the fate of stars after they die, and the way they impact, and are impacted by, their surrounding medium…
Discovery of a ~30-Year-Duration Post-Nova Pulsating Supersoft Source in the Large Magellanic Cloud
G. Vasilopoulos, F. Koliopanos, T. E. Woods +3
Supersoft X-ray sources (SSS) have been identified as white dwarfs accreting from binary companions and undergoing nuclear-burning of the accreted material on their surface. Althou…
Supersoft X-Ray Nebulae in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Diego Farias, Alejandro Clocchiatti, Tyrone Woods +1
Supersoft X-rays sources (SSSs) have been proposed as potential Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitors. If such objects are indeed persistently X-ray luminous and embedded in suffic…
Luminous Red Novae: population models and future prospects
George Howitt, Simon Stevenson, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez +5
A class of optical transients known as Luminous Red Novae (LRNe) have recently been associated with mass ejections from binary stars undergoing common-envelope evolution. We use th…
Excluding super-soft X-ray sources as progenitors for four Type Ia supernovae in the Large Magellanic Cloud
J. Kuuttila, M. Gilfanov, I. R. Seitenzahl +2
Type Ia supernovae are vital to our understanding of the Universe due to their use in measuring cosmological distances and their significance in enriching the interstellar medium w…
Progenitor constraints on the Type Ia supernova SN 2014J from Hubble Space Telescope H and [O III] observations
Or Graur, Tyrone E. Woods
Type Ia supernovae are understood to arise from the thermonuclear explosion of a carbon-oxygen white dwarf, yet the evolutionary mechanisms leading to such events remain unknown. M…
Balmer-Dominated Shocks Exclude Hot Progenitors for Many Type Ia Supernovae
T. E. Woods, P. Ghavamian, C. Badenes +1
The evolutionary mechanism underlying Type Ia supernova explosions remains unknown. Recent efforts to constrain progenitor models based on the influence that their high energy emis…
Where are all of the nebulae ionized by supersoft X-ray sources?
T. E. Woods, M. Gilfanov
Accreting, steadily nuclear-burning white dwarfs are associated with so-called close-binary supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs), observed to have temperatures of a fewK a…
Upper limits on the luminosity of the progenitor of type Ia supernova SN2014J
M. T. B. Nielsen, M. Gilfanov, A. Bogdan +2
We analysed archival data of Chandra pre-explosion observations of the position of SN2014J in M82. No X-ray source at this position was detected in the data, and we calculated uppe…
Formation of black-hole X-ray binaries in globular clusters
N. Ivanova, S. Chaichenets, J. Fregeau +3
Inspired by the recent identification of the first candidate BH-WD X-ray binaries, where the compact accretors may be stellar-mass black hole candidates in extragalactic globular c…
