Could Edge-Lit Type Ia Supernovae be Standard Candles
Eniko Regos, Christopher A. Tout, Dayal Wickramasinghe +2
The progenitors of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have not been identified. Though they are no longer fashionable we investigate the consequences if a significant number of SNe Ia wer…
The nature of the progenitor of the Type II-P supernova 1999em
S. J. Smartt, G. F. Gilmore, C. A. Tout +1
We present high quality ground-based VRI images of the site of the Type II-P SN1999em (in NGC1637) taken before explosion, which were extracted from the CFHT archive. We determine…
An upper mass limit for the progenitor of the TypeII-P supernova SN1999gi
S. J. Smartt, G. F. Gilmore, N. Trentham +2
Masses and progenitor evolutionary states of TypeII supernovae remain almost unconstrained by direct observations. Only one robust observation of a progenitor (SN1987A) and one pla…
Russell Lecture: Dark Star Formation and Cooling Instability
D. Lynden-Bell, C. A. Tout
Optically thin cooling gas at most temperatures above 30K will make condensations by pressure pushing material into cool dense regions. This works without gravity. Cooling condensa…
