Dimming the Lights: 2D Simulations of Deflagrations of Hybrid C/O/Ne White Dwarfs using FLASH
Catherine Feldman, Nathanael Gutierrez, Ellis Eisenberg +3
The dimmest and most numerous outlier of the Type Ia supernova population, Type Iax events, is increasingly being found in the results of observational campaigns. There is currentl…
Type Ia Supernova Explosions from Hybrid Carbon-Oxygen-Neon White Dwarf Progenitors That Have Mixed During Cooling
Carlyn N. Augustine, Donald E. Willcox, Jared Brooks +2
The creation of "hybrid" white dwarfs, made of a C-O core within a O-Ne shell has been proposed, and studies indicate that ignition in the C-rich central region makes these viable…
Catching Element Formation In The Act
Chris L. Fryer, Frank Timmes, Aimee L. Hungerford +216
Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics. It encompasses a wide range of objects…
Model Atmospheres for X-ray Bursting Neutron Stars
Zach Medin, Marina von Steinkirch, Alan C. Calder +3
The hydrogen and helium accreted by X-ray bursting neutron stars is periodically consumed in runaway thermonuclear reactions that cause the entire surface to glow brightly in X-ray…
Type Ia Supernova Explosions from Hybrid Carbon-Oxygen-Neon White Dwarf Progenitors
Donald E. Willcox, Dean M. Townsley, Alan C. Calder +2
Motivated by recent results in stellar evolution that predict the existence of hybrid white dwarf (WD) stars with a C-O core inside an O-Ne shell, we simulate thermonuclear (Type I…
White Dwarf Mergers on Adaptive Meshes I. Methodology and Code Verification
Max P. Katz, Michael Zingale, Alan C. Calder +3
The Type Ia supernova progenitor problem is one of the most perplexing and exciting problems in astrophysics, requiring detailed numerical modeling to complement observations of th…
