On the progenitors of Type Ia supernovae

M Livio, P Mazzali - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
We review all the models proposed for the progenitor systems of Type Ia supernovae and
discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each scenario when confronted with observations …

Progenitors of type Ia supernovae

K Maeda, Y Terada - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2016 - World Scientific
Natures of progenitors of type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) have not yet been clarified. There has
been long and intensive discussion on whether the so-called single degenerate (SD) …

Observational and physical classification of supernovae

A Gal-Yam - arXiv preprint arXiv:1611.09353, 2016 - arxiv.org
This chapter describes the current classification scheme of supernovae (SNe). This scheme
has evolved over many decades and now includes numerous SN Types and sub-types …

Cosmic evolution and metal aversion in superluminous supernova host galaxies

S Schulze, T Krühler, G Leloudas… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Abstract The SUperluminous Supernova Host galaxIES survey aims to provide strong new
constraints on the progenitors of superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) by understanding the …

Spectroscopy of superluminous supernova host galaxies. A preference of hydrogen-poor events for extreme emission line galaxies

G Leloudas, S Schulze, T Krühler… - Monthly Notices of …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are very bright explosions that were only discovered
recently and that show a preference for occurring in faint dwarf galaxies. Understanding why …

Rapidly rising transients in the supernova—superluminous supernova gap

I Arcavi, WM Wolf, DA Howell, L Bildsten… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We present observations of four rapidly rising (t rise≈ 10 days) transients with peak
luminosities between those of supernovae (SNe) and superluminous SNe (M peak≈− 20) …

A radio-detected type Ia supernova with helium-rich circumstellar material

EC Kool, J Johansson, J Sollerman, J Moldón… - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
Abstract Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are thermonuclear explosions of degenerate white
dwarf stars destabilized by mass accretion from a companion star, but the nature of their …

[HTML][HTML] A systematic study of Ia-CSM supernovae from the ZTF bright transient survey

Y Sharma, J Sollerman, C Fremling… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Among the supernovae (SNe) that show strong interaction with a circumstellar medium
(CSM), there is a rare subclass of Type Ia supernovae, SNe Ia-CSM, which show strong …

Type IIn supernova light-curve properties measured from an untargeted survey sample

A Nyholm, J Sollerman, L Tartaglia, F Taddia… - Astronomy & …, 2020 - aanda.org
The evolution of a Type IIn supernova (SN IIn) is governed by the interaction between the
SN ejecta and a hydrogen-rich circumstellar medium. The SNe IIn thus allow us to probe the …

The type II-P supernova 2017eaw: from explosion to the nebular phase

T Szalai, J Vinkó, R Könyves-Tóth… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
The nearby SN 2017eaw is a Type II-P (" plateau") supernova (SN) showing early-time,
moderate CSM interaction. We present a comprehensive study of this SN, including the …
