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…
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…
