Shock Breakout from Type Ia Supernova
Anthony L. Piro, Philip Chang, Nevin N. Weinberg
The mode of explosive burning in Type Ia SNe remains an outstanding problem. It is generally thought to begin as a subsonic deflagration, but this may transition into a supersonic…
Observable Signatures of the Accretion-Induced Collapse of White Dwarfs
B. D. Metzger, A. L. Piro, E. Quataert +1
Despite its probable occurrence in Nature, the accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of a white dwarf has not yet been directly observed (or, at least, it has not been unambiguously ide…
A faint type of supernova from a white dwarf with a helium-rich companion
H. B. Perets, A. Gal-Yam, P. Mazzali +25
Supernovae (SNe) are thought to arise from two different physical processes. The cores of massive, short-lived stars undergo gravitational core collapse and typically eject a few s…
The Dynamic X-ray Sky of the Local Universe
Alicia M. Soderberg, Jonathan E. Grindlay, Joshua S. Bloom +35
Over the next decade, we can expect time domain astronomy to flourish at optical and radio wavelengths. In parallel with these efforts, a dedicated transient "machine" operating at…
