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 …

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 …

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 …

Early-time observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are essential to constrain the
properties of their progenitors. In this paper, we present high-quality light curves of 127 SNe …

We re-examine the classifications of supernovae (SNe) presented in the Lick Observatory
Supernova Search (LOSS) volume-limited sample with a focus on the stripped-envelope …

Nova explosions occur on the white dwarf component of a cataclysmic variable binary stellar
system that is accreting matter lost by its companion. When sufficient material has been …

Type Ia supernovae are destructive explosions of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs,. Although
they are used empirically to measure cosmological distances,,, the nature of their …

Study of the double-detonation Type Ia supernova scenario, in which a helium-shell
detonation triggers a carbon-core detonation in a sub-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf …

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⊙ …
