Black Hole X-ray Transients
J. Craig Wheeler
The observations and theory of the exciting new class of galactic black hole X-ray transients is reviewed. Seven of these systems have measured mass functions or mass estimates in…
Theory of DDT in Unconfined Flames
A. M. Khokhlov, E. S. Oran, J. Craig Wheeler
This paper outlines a theoretical approach for predicting the onset of detonation in unconfined turbulent flames which is relevant both to problems of terrestrial combustion and to…
Three-dimensional Combustion in Type Ia Supernovae
A. M. Khokhlov, E. S. Oran, J. C. Wheeler
Turbulent combustion is three-dimensional. Turbulence in a Type Ia supernova is driven on large scales by the buoyancy of burning products. The turbulent cascade penetrates down to…
New Perspectives on Type Ic Supernovae
A. Clocchiatti, J. C. Wheeler
The Type Ic supernovae are probably "nearly-nude" core collapse events. They are thus of special interest in terms of their evolutionary origin, but also as the source of potential…
The Physics of Black Hole X-ray Transients
J. Craig Wheeler, S. -W. Kim, M. D. Moscoso +2
The most plausible mechanism for triggering the outburst of black hole candidate X-ray transients is the ionization thermal instability. The disk instability models can give the ob…
