Effect of positronium on the -ray spectra and energy deposition in Type Ia supernovae
Anirban Dutta, Andrew Fullard, Wolfgang Kerzendorf +5
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are powered by the radioactive decay of isotopes such as Ni and Co, making their -ray spectra useful probes of the explosion mechanism…
Modelling the ionisation state of Type Ia supernovae in the nebular-phase
Luke J. Shingles, Andreas Flörs, Stuart A. Sim +4
The nebular spectra of Type Ia supernovae ( 100 days after explosion) consist mainly of emission lines from singly- and doubly-ionised Fe-group nuclei. However, theoret…
Production of very light elements and strontium in the early ejecta of neutron star mergers
A. Perego, D. Vescovi, A. Fiore +10
We study the production of very light elements () in the dynamical and spiral-wave wind ejecta of binary neutron star mergers by combining detailed nucleosynthesis calculat…
The rise and fall of an extraordinary Ca-rich transient -- The discovery of ATLAS19dqr/SN 2019bkc
S. J. Prentice, K. Maguire, A. Flörs +25
This work presents the observations and analysis of ATLAS19dqr/SN 2019bkc, an extraordinary rapidly evolving transient event located in an isolated environment, tens of kiloparsecs…
SN2018kzr: a rapidly declining transient from the destruction of a white dwarf
Owen R. McBrien, Stephen J. Smartt, Ting-Wan Chen +31
We present SN2018kzr, the fastest declining supernova-like transient, second only to the kilonova, AT2017gfo. SN2018kzr is characterized by a peak magnitude of , peak…
A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source
S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118
Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…
