Spectropolarimetry of Supernovae

open access: yes, 2008
Overwhelming evidence has accumulated in recent years that supernova explosions are intrinsically 3-dimensional phenomena with significant departures from spherical symmetry.

Are Ti44-Producing Supernovae Exceptional? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
According to standard models supernovae produce radioactive $^{44}$Ti, which should be visible in gamma-rays following decay to $^{44}$Ca for a few centuries.

Cosmology from supernova magnification maps

open access: yes, 2005
High-z Type Ia supernovae are expected to be gravitationally lensed by the foreground distribution of large-scale structure. The resulting magnification of supernovae is statistically measurable, and the angular correlation of the magnification pattern ...

Upper limits on bolometric luminosities of ten type Ia supernova progenitors from Chandra observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We present an analysis of Chandra observations of the position of ten nearby (< 25 Mpc) type Ia supernovae, taken before the explosions. No sources corresponding to progenitors were found in any of the observations.

The Deepest Supernova Search is Realized in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field Survey

open access: yes, 2005
The Hubble Ultra Deep Field Survey has not only provided the deepest optical and near infrared views of universe, but has enabled a search for the most distant supernovae to z~2.2.

Absolute Magnitude Distribution And Light Curves Of Gamma-Ray Burst Supernovae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Photometry data were collected from the literature and analyzed for supernovae that are thought to have a gamma-ray burst association. There are several gamma-ray burst afterglow light curves that appear to have a supernova component.

Impact of Newly Measured Nuclear Reaction Rates on 26Al Ejected Yields from Massive Stars

open access: yesUniverse
Over the last three years, the rates of all the main nuclear reactions involving the destruction and production of 26Al in stars (26Al(n, p)26Mg, 26Al(n, α)23Na, 26Al(p, γ)27Si and 25Mg(p, γ)26Al) have been re-evaluated thanks to new high-precision ...

Type Ic core-collapse supernova explosions evolved from very massive stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We investigate the possibility of a super-luminous Type Ic core-collapse supernovae producing a large amount of 56Ni. Very massive stars with a main-sequence mass larger than 100 Msun and a metallicity 0.001 < Z < 0.004 are expected to explode as super ...

Physics of Core-Collapse Supernovae in Three Dimensions: a Sneak Preview [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Nonspherical mass motions are a generic feature of core-collapse supernovae, and hydrodynamic instabilities play a crucial role in the explosion mechanism.

Observational Predictions for Sub-Chandrasekhar Mass Explosions: Further Evidence for Multiple Progenitor Systems for Type Ia Supernovae [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2018
We present a numerical parameter survey of sub-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarf (WD) explosions. Carbon–oxygen WDs accreting a helium shell have the potential to explode in the sub-Chandrasekhar mass regime.
