Semi-analytic Continuum Spectra of Type II Supernovae and the Expanding Photosphere Method of Distance Determination
We extend the approximate radiative transfer analysis of Hershkowitz, Linder, and Wagoner (1986) to a more general class of supernova model atmospheres, using a simple fit to the effective continuum opacity produced by lines (Wagoner, Perez, and Vasu 1991). At the low densities considered, the populations of the excited states of hydrogen are governed mainly by photoionization and recombination...
متن کاملDistance determinations using type II supernovae and the expanding photosphere method
Due to their high intrinsic brightness, caused by the disruption of the progenitor envelope by the shock-wave initiated at the bounce of the collapsing core, hydrogen-rich (type II) supernovae (SN) can be used as lighthouses to constrain distances in the Universe using variants of the Baade-Wesselink method. Based on a large set of CMFGEN models (Hillier & Miller 1998) covering the photospheric...
متن کاملfrom linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar
chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
15 صفحه اولType IIP Supernovae as Cosmological Probes: A SEAM Distance to SN 1999em
Due to their intrinsic brightness, supernovae make excellent cosmological probes. We describe the SEAM method for obtaining distances to Type IIP supernovae (SNe IIP) and present a distance to SN 1999em for which a Cepheid distance exists. Our models give results consistent with the Cepheid distance, even though we have not attempted to tune the underlying hydrodynamical model, we have simply c...
متن کاملSn 1993j Vlbi (iv): a Geometric Determination of the Distance to M81 with the Expanding Shock Front Method
We compare the angular expansion velocities, determined with VLBI, with the linear expansion velocities measured from optical spectra for supernova 1993J in the galaxy M81, over the period from 7 d to ∼9 yr after shock breakout. The high degree of isotropy of the radio shell’s expansion, within 5.5%, with the projection of the radio shell being circular within even 1.4%, and the consistency of ...
