Emission from Pair-Instability Supernovae with Rotation
Emmanouil Chatzopoulos,Daniel R. van Rossum,J. Craig Wheeler,Daniel J. Whalen,Joseph Smidt,Brandon K. Wiggins +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the spectral properties of rotating pair-instability supernovae and found that they have intrinsically red colors in contradiction with observations of super-luminous supernova events.
A semi-analytical light curve model and its application to type IIP supernovae
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-analytical light curve modeling code is presented for estimating physical properties of core collapse supernovae (SNe) in a quick and efficient way.
Abundance tomography of Type Iax SN 2011ay with tardis
Barnabas Barna,Tamás Szalai,Markus Kromer,Markus Kromer,Wolfgang Kerzendorf,Jozsef Vinko,Jozsef Vinko,Jozsef Vinko,Jeffrey M. Silverman,George H Marion,J. Craig Wheeler +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed spectral analysis of Type Iax SN 2011ay was performed using the 1D Monte Carlo radiative transfer code TARDIS, and the best-fit TARDIS model was used to fit multiple epochs with a self-consistent, stratified atmospheric model and compared their results to previously published SYN++ models and the predictions of different explosion scenarios.

Importance of biologically active aurora-like ultraviolet emission: stochastic irradiation of Earth and Mars by flares and explosions.
TL;DR: In this article, Monte Carlo calculations of high-energy irradiation suggest that the surfaces of terrestrial-like planets with thick atmospheres are well protected from directly incident X-rays and γ-rays, but substantial fraction of incident ionizing radiation from astrophysical sources can be redistributed to biologically and chemically important ultraviolet wavelengths, a significant fraction of which can reach the surface.

Peter J. Brown,Yang Yang,Jeff Cooke,Melanie Kae Olaes,Robert M. Quimby,Dietrich Baade,Neil Gehrels,Peter Hoeflich,Justyn R. Maund,Jeremy Mould,Ferdinando Patat,Lifan Wang,J. Craig Wheeler +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, ultraviolet and optical photometry from the Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope and X-ray limits from the X-Ray Telescope on Swift and imaging polarimetry and ultraviolet/optical spectroscopy with the Hubble Space Telescope of ASASSN-15lh was discussed.
