Explaining iPTF14hls as a common envelope jets supernova
Noam Soker, Avishai Gilkis
We propose a common envelope jets supernova scenario for the enigmatic supernova iPTF14hls where a neutron star that spirals-in inside the envelope of a massive giant star accretes…

Magnetar-powered superluminous supernovae must first be exploded by jets
Noam Soker, Avishai Gilkis
We analyze recent magnetar light-curve modeling of 38 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe), and find that the energies of the explosions themselves, that take place befor…

The rotational shear in pre-collapse cores of massive stars
Noa Zilberman, Avishai Gilkis, Noam Soker
We evolve stellar models to study the rotational profiles of the pre-explosion cores of single massive stars that are progenitors of core collapse supernovae (CCSNe), and find larg…
