Multi-dimensional simulations of radiative transfer in Type Ia supernovae
A three-dimensional Monte Carlo code for modelling radiation transport in Type Ia supernovae is described. In addition to tracking Monte Carlo quanta to follow the emission, scattering and deposition of radiative energy, a scheme involving volumebased Monte Carlo estimators is used to allow properties of the emergent radiation field to be extracted for specific viewing angles in a multi-dimensi...
متن کاملCritical Mass Transfer in Double-Degenerate Type Ia Supernovae
Doubly-degenerate binary systems consisting of two white dwarfs both composed of carbon and oxygen and close enough that mass is transferred from the less massive to the more massive are possible progenitors of type Ia supernovae. If the mass transfer rate is slow enough that the accreting white dwarf can reach a mass of 1.38M⊙ then it can ignite carbon degenerately at its centre. This can lead...
متن کاملType Ia Supernovae
Type Ia Supernovae are in many aspects still enigmatic objects. Their observational and theoretical exploration is in full swing, but we still have plenty to learn about these explosions. Recent years have already witnessed a bonanza of supernova observations. The increased samples from dedicated searches have allowed the statistical investigation of Type Ia Supernovae as a class. The observati...
متن کاملNucleosynthesis in Type Ia Supernovae
Among the major uncertainties involved in the Chandrasekhar mass models for Type Ia supernovae are the companion star of the accreting white dwarf (or the accretion rate that determines the carbon ignition density) and the flame speed after ignition. We present nucleosynthesis results from relatively slow deflagration (1.5 3 % of the sound speed) to constrain the rate of accretion from the comp...
متن کاملDust around Type Ia supernovae
An explanation is given of the low value of Rλ ≡ Aλ/E(B − V ), the ratio of absolute to selective extinction deduced from Type Ia supernova observations. The idea involves scattering by dust clouds located in the circumstellar environment, or at the highest velocity shells of the supernova ejecta. The scattered light tends to reduce the effective Rλ in the optical, but has an opposite effect in...
