Type Ia supernovae: Advances in large scale simulation
There are two principal scientific objectives in the study of Type Ia supernovae first, a better understanding of these complex explosions from as near first principles as possible, and second, enabling the more accurate utilization of their emission to measure distances in cosmology. Both tasks lend themselves to large scale numerical simulation, yet take us beyond the current frontiers in ast...
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...
متن کاملCosmology with Type Ia supernovae
Since 1998 (Riess et al. 1, Perlmutter et al. 2), surveys of cosmologically distant Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have indicated an acceleration of the expansion of the Universe, distant SNe Ia being dimmer that expected in a decelerating Universe. With the assumption that the Universe can be described on average as isotropic and homogeneous, this acceleration implies either the existence of a fl...
