An Account of Luck, Fortune, and Fate

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 113, Issue 1, Page 16-28, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Luck is one of our most important concepts. In this article, I first argue that extant accounts of luck are deeply flawed. I then argue for a hybrid account of luck that is based around the difference between skill‐based and non‐skill‐based events.

GENERATION OF HIGH-ENERGY PHOTONS AT ULTRA-RELATIVISTIC SHOCK BREAKOUT IN SUPERNOVAE

The Astrophysical Journal, 2013
We present theoretical expectations for non-thermal emission due to the bulk Comptonization at the ultra-relativistic shock breakout. We calculate the transfer of photons emitted from the shocked matter with a Monte Carlo code fully taking into account special relativity.

Type Ia Supernovae from First-generation Stars

The Astrophysical Journal
Abstract Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered at redshift z ≲ 2.5 are presumed to be produced from Population I/II stars. In this work, we investigate the production of SNe Ia from Population III binaries in the cosmological framework.

Generation of Seed Magnetic Fields in Primordial Supernova Remnants

, 2009
Origin of the magnetic field ubiquitous in the Universe is studied based on the Biermann mechanism, which is expected to work in the non-barotropic region. We perform a series of two-dimensional MHD simulations of the first generation supernova remnant (SNR) expanding in the inhomogeneous interstellar matter (ISM) and study the Biermann mechanism ...

Extending Supernova Spectral Templates for Next-generation Space Telescope Observations

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2018
Empirical models of supernova (SN) spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are widely used for SN survey simulations and photometric classifications. The existing library of SED models has excellent optical templates but limited, poorly constrained coverage of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) wavelengths.

SUPERNOVA: Eliciting General Reasoning in LLMs with Reinforcement Learning on Natural Instructions

CoRR
Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has substantially improved reasoning in formal domains such as mathematics and code, but extending these gains beyond STEM remains challenging. Extending RLVR beyond STEM is fundamentally constrained by the lack of high-quality verifiable training data.

Approximating General Relativity in Core-Collapse Supernova Simulations

We present formulations of effective potentials suitable for approximating general relativistic effects in Newtonian simulations of core-collapse supernovae. Assuming a spherically symmetric spacetime and a stress-energy tensor that includes both fluid and neutrino contributions, Eulerian and Lagrangian projections of the Einstein equations are made to
