We study optical radiation of aspherical supernovae (SNe) and present an approach to verify the asphericity of SNe with optical observations of extragalactic SNe. For this purpose, we have developed a multi-dimensional Monte-Carlo radiative transfer code, SAMURAI (SupernovA MUltidimensional RAdIative transfer code). The code can compute the optical light curve and spectra both at early phases (...

Abstract Optics with high-precision height and slope are increasingly desired in numerous industrial fields. For instance, Kirkpatrick–Baez (KB) mirrors play an important role synchrotron X-ray applications. A KB system is composed of two aspherical, grazing-incidence used to focus beam. The fabrication challenging due the aspherical departure mirror surfaces from base geometries high-quality r...
