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…
On the Detection of Supermassive Primordial Stars
Marco Surace, Daniel J. Whalen, Tilman Hartwig +6
The collapse of supermassive primordial stars in hot, atomically-cooled halos may have given birth to the first quasars at 15 - 20. Recent numerical simulations of these r…
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…
Populations of accreting white dwarfs
Hai-Liang Chen, Tyrone E. Woods, Lev Yungelson +2
Using a hybrid binary population synthesis approach, we modelled the formation and evolution of populations of accreting WDs for differing star formation histories. We found that t…
Titans of the Early Universe: The Prato Statement on the Origin of the First Supermassive Black Holes
Tyrone E. Woods, Bhaskar Agarwal, Volker Bromm +30
In recent years, the discovery of massive quasars at z~7 has provided a striking challenge to our understanding of the origin and growth of supermassive black holes in the early Un…
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…
