Cosmic Explosions: Rapporteur Summary of the 10th Maryland Astrophysics Conference
J. Craig Wheeler
This meeting covered the range of cosmic explosions from solar flares to gamma-ray bursts. A common theme is the role of rotation and magnetic fields. A rigorous examination is und…
The Type Ib/c Supernova, Gamma-Ray Burst, Soft Gamma-Ray Repeater, Magnetar Connection
J. Craig Wheeler, Peter Hoeflich, Lifan Wang +1
The polarization of core-collapse supernovae shows that many if not all of these explosions must be strongly bi-polar. The most obvious way to produce this axial symmetry is by the…
Asymmetric Supernovae, Pulsars, Magnetars, and Gamma-Ray Bursts
J. Craig Wheeler, Insu Yi, Peter Hoeflich +1
We outline the possible physical processes, associated timescales, and energetics that could lead to the production of pulsars, jets, asymmetric supernovae, and weak gamma-ray burs…
Black-Hole X-Ray Transients: The Effect of Irradiation on Time-Dependent Accretion Disk Structure
Soon-Wook Kim, J. Craig Wheeler, Shin Mineshige
Some effects of irradiation on time-dependent accretion-disk models for black hole X-ray novae are presented. Two types of irradiation are considered: direct irradiation from the i…
The Role of Kinetic Energy Flux in the Convective Urca Process
J. Stein, Z. Barkat, J. C. Wheeler
The previous analysis of the convective Urca neutrino loss process in degenerate, convective, quasi-static, carbon-burning cores by Barkat and Wheeler omitted specific consideratio…
