A Massive Star’s Dying Breaths: Pulsating Red Supergiants and Their Resulting Type IIP Supernovae
- PhysicsThe Astrophysical Journal
- 2020
Massive stars undergo fundamental-mode and first-overtone radial pulsations with periods of 100-1000 days as Red Supergiants (RSGs). At large amplitudes, these pulsations substantially modify the…
A comparative modeling of supernova 1993J
- Physics
- 1997
The light curve of Supernova (SN) 1993J is calculated using two approaches to radiation transport as exemplified by the two computer codes, STELLA and EDDINGTON. Particular attention is paid to shock…
Inferring Explosion Properties from Type II-Plateau Supernova Light Curves
- PhysicsThe Astrophysical Journal
- 2019
We present advances in modeling Type IIP supernovae using MESA for evolution to shock breakout coupled with STELLA for generating light and radial velocity curves. Explosion models and synthetic…
The Type II-P Supernova 2017eaw: From Explosion to the Nebular Phase
- PhysicsThe Astrophysical Journal
- 2019
The nearby SN 2017eaw is a Type II-P (``plateau') supernova showing early-time, moderate CSM interaction. We present a comprehensive study of this SN including the analysis of high-quality optical…
Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): Pulsating Variable Stars, Rotation, Convective Boundaries, and Energy Conservation
- PhysicsThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
- 2019
We update the capabilities of the open-knowledge software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA). RSP is a new functionality in MESAstar that models the non-linear radial…
Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) : Convective Boundaries, Element Diffusion, and Massive Star Explosions
- Physics
- 2017
We update the capabilities of the software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) and enhance its ease of use and availability. Our new approach to locating convective…
A NEW VLA-HIPPARCOS DISTANCE TO BETELGEUSE AND ITS IMPLICATIONS
- Physics
- 2008
The distance to the M supergiant Betelgeuse is poorly known, with the Hipparcos parallax having a significant uncertainty. For detailed numerical studies of M supergiant atmospheres and winds,…
The Nickel Mass Distribution of Normal Type II Supernovae
- Physics
- 2017
Core-collapse supernova explosions expose the structure and environment of massive stars at the moment of their death. We use the global fitting technique of Pejcha & Prieto (2015a,b) to estimate a…
MODULES FOR EXPERIMENTS IN STELLAR ASTROPHYSICS (MESA): BINARIES, PULSATIONS, AND EXPLOSIONS
- Physics
- 2015
We substantially update the capabilities of the open-source software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA). MESA can now simultaneously evolve an interacting pair of…
Unifying Type II Supernova Light Curves with Dense Circumstellar Material
- Physics
- 2016
A longstanding problem in the study of supernovae (SNe) has been the relationship between the Type IIP and Type IIL subclasses. Whether they come from distinct progenitors or they are from similar…
