Type Ia Supernova: Calculations of Turbulent Flames Using the Linear Eddy Model

S. E. Woosley, A. R. Kerstein, V. Sankaran +1

The nature of carbon burning flames in Type Ia supernovae is explored as they interact with Kolmogorov turbulence. One-dimensional calculations using the Linear Eddy Model of Kerst…

The impact of type Ia supernovae on main sequence binary companions

R. Pakmor, F. K. Roepke, A. Weiss +1

The nature of Type Ia supernova progenitors is still unclear. The outstanding characteristic of the single-degenerate scenario is that it contains hydrogen in the binary companion…

Thermonuclear Supernovae

F. K. Roepke

The application of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as distance indicators in cosmology calls for a sound understanding of these objects. Recent years have seen a brisk development of a…

Numerical simulations of multi-scale astrophysical problems: The example of Type Ia supernovae

F. K. Roepke

Vastly different time and length scales are a common problem in numerical simulations of astrophysical phenomena. Here, we present an approach to numerical modeling of such objects…

Double-detonation supernovae of sub-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarfs

M. Fink, W. Hillebrandt, F. K. Roepke

In the "double-detonation sub-Chandrasekhar" model for type Ia supernovae, a carbon-oxygen (C + O) white dwarf accumulates sufficient amounts of helium such that a detonation ignit…

Flame-driven deflagration-to-detonation transitions in Type Ia supernovae?

F. K. Roepke

Although delayed detonation models of thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs seem promising for reproducing Type Ia supernovae, the transition of the flame propagation mode from…
