Astrophysical: Supernovae

  • Publication
    Nearby supernova host galaxies from the CALIFA Survey. I. Sample, data analysis, and correlation to star-forming regions
    We use optical integral field spectroscopy (IFS) of nearby supernova (SN) host galaxies (0.005 2.4 Gyr, respectively) than the massive SN Ia hosts (0.04%, 2.01%...

    Nebular Spectra of the Type Ic Supernovae 1997B and 1997X
    New spectra of the Type Ic supernovae 1997B and 1997X at nebular phase are shown. Although one of them, SN 1997X, was studied with some detail around its...

    NGC 4526 gas, high velocity clouds, and Galactic halo gas: the interstellar medium towards SN 1994D.
    We present spectroscopic observations of supernova 1994D in NGC 4526, an S0_3_ galaxy in the Virgo cluster 15Mpc distant. The datasets consist of the...

    No Surviving Companion in Kepler's Supernova
    We have surveyed Kepler’s supernova remnant in search of the companion star of the explosion. We have gone as deep as 2.6 L ⊙ in all stars within 20% of the...

    Nova Research at Liverpool JMU
    The Astrophysics Research Institute (ARI) was established at LJMU in 1992. Today the Institute comprises around 70 staff and research students working on topics...

    Observational constraints on the optical and near-infrared emission from the neutron star-black hole binary merger candidate S190814bv
    Context. Gravitational wave (GW) astronomy has rapidly reached maturity, becoming a fundamental observing window for modern astrophysics. The coalescences of a...

    On the evolution of supernova remnants. II - Two-dimensional calculations of explosions inside pre-existing wind-driven bubbles
    Supernova explosions within wind-driven bubbles are studied with 2D hydrodynamical calculations. Two different density distributions for the ejecta are...

    On the fate of the most massive stars
    Radiation-driven mass loss largely determines the life expectancy of massive stars. I will present our most recent mass-loss predictions for massive stars...
  • Publication
    On the formation of massive stellar clusters
    Here we model a star forming factory in which the continuous creation of stars results in a highly concentrated, massive (globular cluster-like) stellar system...
