Abstract The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be a transformative experiment
for gravitational wave astronomy, and, as such, it will offer unique opportunities to address …

The discovery of the accelerating universe in the late 1990s was a watershed moment in
modern cosmology, as it indicated the presence of a fundamentally new, dominant …

We compile observations of early-type binaries identified via spectroscopy, eclipses, long-
baseline interferometry, adaptive optics, common proper motion, etc. Each observational …

We propose a space-based interferometer surveying the gravitational wave (GW) sky in the
milli-Hz to μ-Hz frequency range. By the 2040s, the μ-Hz frequency band, bracketed in …

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 …

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 …

Globular clusters are large and dense agglomerate of stars. At variance with smaller clusters
of stars, they exhibit signs of some chemical evolution. At least for this reason, they are …

INTRODUCTION The nature of type Ia supernovae (SNIa)—thermonuclear explosions of
white dwarf (WD) stars—is an open question in astrophysics. There is a general consensus …

JCW had long wanted to write a new monograph on supernovae. Despite an immense
explosion in the literature and many review articles, there had not been one since that of …

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 …
