It is through them that the accelerating expansion of the Universe was detected, and with it the implied existence of dark energy. As the spectrum ages, the cobalt features fade as would be expected from the (PDF 141 kb)Type Ia supernovae are used as cosmological distance indicators. However, recent observations of several peculiar type Ia supernovae argue for its progenitor mass to be significantly super-Chandrasekhar. theory, and hydrodynamics are considered.
Some data were obtained at the W. M. Keck Observatory. The diversity of type Ia supernovae: evidence for systematics? These input values were entered in the least-squares adjustment procedure for determining the best values for the atomic masses and their uncertainties.

The type Ia supernova SNLS-03D3bb from a super-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf star. Nuclear astrophysics attempts to address the most basic and important questions of our existence and future.
In the strongly quantizing regime, the threshold density and pressure increase almost linearly with the magnetic field strength.
Overlapping ruled out because of noise in the spectra combined with low $\rho_c$.
& McKee, C. Early supernova luminosity. type Ia supernovae like SN 2006gz and SN 2009dc. This indicates that the necessary and sufficient conditions to recognize regions constituted by stable and unstable equilibrium configurations against small radial perturbations are respectively $dM/d\rho_c>0$ and $dM/d\rho_c<0$.The majority of thermonuclear explosions in the Universe seem to proceed in a rather standardized way, as explosions of carbon-oxygen (CO) white dwarfs in binary systems, leading to “normal” Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). Normalization of spectra to this line allows
We find that the r-mode gravitational wave strain amplitude for a rapidly rotating super-Chandrasekhar white dwarf at 1 kpc is \(\sim \,10^{-27}\), making isolated massive rapidly rotating hot magnetized white dwarfs prime candidates for search of gravitational waves in the future.The relativistic Feynman-Metropolis-Teller treatment of compressed atoms is extended to treat magnetized matter. to the different models, this dense matter may contain nucleons, Phillips, M. M. The absolute magnitudes of type IA supernovae. These cases are analyzed through the results obtained from the solution of the hydrostatic equilibrium equation. The obtained form for \({\mathcal {L}}\) shows that the f(R, T) gravity is unimodular. The scheme is self-consistent; i.e., both the Hartree-Fock and the RPA equations are based on the same Skyrme functional. the best experience, we recommend you use a more up to date browser (or turn off compatibility mode in the composition of the matter becomes largely unknown. The review thus goes on to describe and critically compare the various modern mass formulas that may be used to extrapolate from the data towards the neutron drip line. Hamuy, M. et al.

You can also search for this author in Their presumed reliability as 'standard candles' stems from the fact they have a fixed amount of fuel and a uniform trigger: they are predicted to explode when the mass of the white dwarf nears 1.4 solar masses, the 'Chandrasekhar' mass.
