Type Ia Supernova Explosions in Binary Systems: A Review

ZW Liu, FK Röpke, Z Han - Research in Astronomy and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Type Ia supernova sub-classes and progenitor origin

AJ Ruiter - Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2019 - cambridge.org
This paper presents a short review on the current state of SN Ia progenitor origin. Type Ia
supernova explosions (meaning thermonuclear disruption of a white dwarf) are observed to …

Three-dimensional pure deflagration models with nucleosynthesis and synthetic observables for Type Ia supernovae

M Fink, M Kromer, IR Seitenzahl… - Monthly Notices of …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
We investigate whether pure deflagration models of Chandrasekhar-mass carbon–oxygen
white dwarf stars can account for one or more subclass of the observed population of Type …

A luminous, blue progenitor system for the type Iax supernova 2012Z

C McCully, SW Jha, RJ Foley, L Bildsten, W Fong… - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Type Iax supernovae are stellar explosions that are spectroscopically similar to some type Ia
supernovae at the time of maximum light emission, except with lower ejecta velocities,. They …

Preparing the next gravitational million-body simulations: evolution of single and binary stars in nbody6++gpu, mocca, and mcluster

AWH Kamlah, A Leveque, R Spurzem… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We present the implementation of updated stellar evolution recipes in the codes nbody6++
gpu, mocca, and mcluster. We test them through numerical simulations of star clusters …

Solar abundance of manganese: a case for near Chandrasekhar-mass Type Ia supernova progenitors

IR Seitenzahl, G Cescutti, FK Röpke, AJ Ruiter… - Astronomy & …, 2013 - aanda.org
Context. Manganese is predominantly synthesised in Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) explosions.
Owing to the entropy dependence of the Mn yield in explosive thermonuclear burning, SNe …

The ejected mass distribution of Type Ia supernovae: a significant rate of non-Chandrasekhar-mass progenitors

RA Scalzo, AJ Ruiter, SA Sim - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
The ejected mass distribution of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) directly probes progenitor
evolutionary history and explosion mechanisms, with implications for their use as …

Deflagrations in hybrid CONe white dwarfs: a route to explain the faint Type Iax supernova 2008ha

M Kromer, ST Ohlmann, R Pakmor… - Monthly Notices of …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
Stellar evolution models predict the existence of hybrid white dwarfs (WDs) with a carbon–
oxygen core surrounded by an oxygen–neon mantle. Being born with masses∼ 1.1 M⊙ …

Transients from ONe white dwarf–neutron star/black hole mergers

A Bobrick, Y Zenati, HB Perets… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We conduct the first 3D hydrodynamic simulations of oxygen–neon white dwarf–neutron
star/black hole mergers (ONe WD–NS/BH mergers). Such mergers constitute a significant …

Chaotic dynamics of wide triples induced by galactic tides: a novel channel for producing compact binaries, mergers, and collisions

E Grishin, HB Perets - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Recent surveys show that wide (> 104 AU) binaries and triples are abundant in the field. We
study the long-term evolution of wide hierarchical triple systems and the role played by the …
