The Effects of Asymmetric Dark Matter on Stellar Evolution I: Spin-Dependent Scattering
Troy J. Raen, Héctor Martínez-Rodríguez, Travis J. Hurst +3
Most of the dark matter (DM) search over the last few decades has focused on WIMPs, but the viable parameter space is quickly shrinking. Asymmetric Dark Matter (ADM) is a WIMP-like…
Evidence of a Type Ia Progenitor for Supernova Remnant 3C 397
Héctor Martínez-Rodríguez, Laura A. Lopez, Katie Auchettl +6
The explosive origin of the young supernova remnant (SNR) 3C 397 (G41.1-0.3) is debated. Its elongated morphology and proximity to a molecular cloud are suggestive of a core-collap…
Exomoons in the habitable zones of M dwarfs
Héctor Martínez-Rodríguez, José Antonio Caballero, Carlos Cifuentes +2
M dwarfs host most of the exoplanets in the local Milky Way. Some of these planets, ranging from sub-Earths to super-Jupiters, orbit in their stars' habitable zones (HZs), although…
A giant exoplanet orbiting a very low-mass star challenges planet formation models
J. C. Morales, A. J. Mustill, I. Ribas +179
Statistical analyses from exoplanet surveys around low-mass stars indicate that super-Earth and Neptune-mass planets are more frequent than gas giants around such stars, in agreeme…
SNR-calibrated Type Ia supernova models
Eduardo Bravo, Carles Badenes, Héctor Martínez-Rodríguez
Current Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) models can reproduce most visible+IR+UV observations. In the X-ray band, the determination of elemental abundance ratios in supernova remnants (SN…
Chandrasekhar and sub-Chandrasekhar models for the X-ray emission of Type Ia supernova remnants (I): Bulk properties
Héctor Martínez-Rodríguez, Carles Badenes, Shiu-Hang Lee +9
Type Ia supernovae originate from the explosion of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs in binary systems, but the exact nature of their progenitors remains elusive. The bulk properties of T…
Exploring the Carbon Simmering Phase: Reaction Rates, Mixing, and the Convective Urca Process
Josiah Schwab, Héctor Martínez-Rodríguez, Anthony L. Piro +1
The neutron excess at the time of explosion provides a powerful discriminant among models of Type Ia supernovae. Recent calculations of the carbon simmering phase in single degener…
Observational evidence for high neutronization in supernova remnants: implications for Type Ia supernova progenitors
Héctor Martínez-Rodríguez, Carles Badenes, Hiroya Yamaguchi +8
The physical process whereby a carbon--oxygen white dwarf explodes as a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) remains highly uncertain. The degree of neutronization in SN Ia ejecta holds clues…
Neutronization During Carbon Simmering In Type Ia Supernova Progenitors
Héctor Martínez-Rodríguez, Anthony L. Piro, Josiah Schwab +1
When a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitor first ignites carbon in its core, it undergoes yr of convective burning prior to the onset of thermonuclear r…
