Radio Transients from the Accretion Induced Collapse of White Dwarfs
Anthony L. Piro, S. R. Kulkarni
It has long been expected that in some scenarios when a white dwarf (WD) grows to the Chandrasekhar limit, it can undergo an accretion induced collapse (AIC) to form a rapidly rota…
Constraints on Shallow 56Ni from the Early Lightcurves of Type Ia Supernovae
Anthony L. Piro, Ehud Nakar
Ongoing transient surveys are presenting an unprecedented account of the rising lightcurves of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). This early emission probes the shallowest layers of the…
What Can We Learn from the Rising Lightcurves of Radioactively-Powered Supernovae?
Anthony L. Piro, Ehud Nakar
The lightcurve of the explosion of a star with a radius <10-100Rsun is powered mostly by radioactive decay. Observationally such events are dominated by hydrogen deficient progenit…
Gravitational Waves from Fallback Accretion onto Neutron Stars
Anthony L. Piro, Eric Thrane
Massive stars generally end their lives as neutron stars (NSs) or black holes (BHs), with NS formation typically occurring at the low mass end and collapse to a BH more likely at t…
Magnetic Interactions in Coalescing Neutron Star Binaries
Anthony L. Piro
It is expected on both evolutionary and empirical grounds that many merging neutron star (NS) binaries are composed of a highly magnetized NS in orbit with a relatively low magneti…
Radioactively-Powered Rising Lightcurves of Type Ia Supernovae
Anthony L. Piro
The rising luminosity of the recent, nearby supernova 2011fe shows a quadratic dependence with time during the first 0.5-4 days. In addition, the composite lightcurves formed from…
