Spectropolarimetry of Supernovae
Lifan Wang,J. Craig Wheeler +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the evidence derived from spectropolarimetry that has established several key results: Virtually all supernovae are significantly aspherical near maximum light, core-collapse supernova behave differently than thermonuclear (Type Ia) supernova, and the asphericity of core collapse supernova is more pronounced in the inner layers.

Generalized Semi-analytical Models of Supernova Light Curves
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized supernova light curve (LC) model was proposed for a variety of power inputs including the previously proposed ideas of radioactive decay of {sup 56}Ni and {Sup 56}Co and magnetar spindown.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a model for disk instabilities in stellar accretion disks, which is based on the Inoue illumination models for soft X-ray transients, A. King winds and boundary layers in accretion disk, J. Mineshige.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the third detection of variable absorption features in Type Ia supernovae, based on six epochs of high-resolution spectroscopy from the Keck I Telescope and the Hobby-Eberly Telescope.
