Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are important distance indicators, element factories, cosmic-ray
accelerators, kinetic-energy sources in galaxy evolution, and end points of stellar binary …

After the Big Bang, production of heavy elements in the early Universe takes place starting
from the formation of the first stars, their evolution, and explosion. The first supernova …

The nature of dark matter (DM) remains unknown despite very precise knowledge of its
abundance in the Universe. An alternative to new elementary particles postulates DM as …

Abstract Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) play a key role in the fields of astrophysics and
cosmology. It is widely accepted that SNe Ia arise from thermonuclear explosions of white …

We present results for a suite of 14 three-dimensional, high-resolution hydrodynamical
simulations of delayed-detonation models of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) explosions. This …

Interaction-powered supernovae (SNe) explode within an optically thick circumstellar
medium (CSM) that could be ejected during eruptive events. To identify and characterize …

The explosive death of a star as a supernova is one of the most dramatic events in the
Universe. Supernovae have an outsized impact on many areas of astrophysics: they are …

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 …

Motivated by the fact that calibrated light curves of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have
become a major tool to determine the expansion history of the Universe, considerable …

It is thought that Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are explosions of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs
(CO WDs). Two main evolutionary channels are proposed for the WD to reach the critical …
