Thermonuclear (Type Ia) Supernovae and Progenitor Evolution
Abstract
Thermonuclear (type Ia) supernovae are bright stellar explosions with the unique property that the light curves can be standardized, allowing them to be used as distance indicators for cosmological studies. Many fundamental questions bout these events remain, however. We provide a critique of our present understanding of these and present results of simulations assuming the single-degenerate progenitor model consisting of a white dwarf that has gained mass from a stellar companion. We present results from full three-dimensional simulations of convection with weak reactions comprising the A=23 Urca process in the progenitor white dwarf.
