Two populations of progenitors for type ia supernovae (2005, background): “Even though these objects are commonly believed to be associated with the explosion of a degenerate star as a white dwarf (e.g. Hillebrandt & Niemeyer, 2000) the nature of the progenitors of this class of SNe is not firmly established, and several explosion patterns are ⋆…”
Time-dependent three-dimensional spectrum synthesis for Type Ia supernovae (2009, background): “However, even after many years of intensive research it is still not completely understood how these explosions take place and which are the progenitor systems [see e.g. Hillebrandt & Niemeyer (2000) for a review on the explosion mechanism and Livio (2000) on progenitors].”
Reynolds number effects on Rayleigh–Taylor instability with possible implications for type Ia supernovae (2006, background): “To meet all of these conditions, the turbulent flame must accelerate from S l to roughly 30p of the speed of soun”
Nuclear weak-interaction processes in stars (2002, background): “The probably most important problem yet is the modelling of the matter transport during the explosion and the velocity of the burning front, both requiring multidimensional simulations (e.g. Hillebrandt and Niemeyer, 2000; Reinecke et al., 1999; Woosley, 2001).”
EVLA OBSERVATIONS CONSTRAIN THE ENVIRONMENT AND PROGENITOR SYSTEM OF Type Ia SUPERNOVA 2011fe (2012, background): “There is a general consensus that SNe Ia mark the fatal disruption of white dwarfs (WDs) near the Chandrasekhar limit (MCh = 1.4 M⊙), and accretion from a binary companion is required to reach sufficient WD mass and trigger the SN explosion (Hillebrandt & Niemeyer 2000).”
The Progenitors of Type Ia Supernovae (2012, background): “Another is that there may be a thick accretion disc around the CO WD, which may be an origin of asymmetry in the configuration of the SN ejecta (e.g. Hillebrandt and Niemeyer, 2000).”
Observational Clues to the Progenitors of Type Ia Supernovae (2013, background): “…models do not match observations, unless finely (and artificially) tuned as an initial subsonic deflagration that allows the WD to expand and, at the right time, spontaneously to evolve into a supersonic detonation (Blondin et al. 2013, Hillebrandt & Niemeyer 2000, Khokhlov 1991, Ma et al. 2013).”
The death of massive stars – I. Observational constraints on the progenitors of Type II-P supernovae (2008, background): “Type Ia SNe are hydrogen- and helium-poor SNe that are believed to be thermonuclear explosions arising as a result of accretion on to a carbon–oxygen white dwarf and are not considered further here (see Hillebrandt & Niemeyer 2000 for a review).”
Timescale Stretch Parameterization of Type Ia Supernova B-Band Light Curves (2001, background): “It is not understood from the current state of the theory of SNe Ia whether this is a fortuitous coincidence or a reflection of some physics timescale (Höflich 1995; Höflich & Khokhlov 1996; Nugent 1997; Pinto & Eastman 2000; Arnett 2000; Hillebrandt & Niemeyer 2000).”
The INT photometric H-alpha survey of the northern galactic plane (2005, background): “This last group most likely harbours SN Ia progenitors within it, in guises that are still subject to considerable debate (Hillebrandt & Niemeyer 2000; Uenishi, Nomoto & Hachisu 2003).”
Early and late time VLT spectroscopy of SN 2001el - Progenitor constraints for a type Ia supernova (2005, background): “In the double degenerate scenario two low-mass CO WDs merge, whereas in the single degenerate scenario matter is accreted from the companion star until the CO WD reaches its limiting mass for carbon ignition (see Hillebrandt & Niemeyer 2000 and Nomoto et al. 2000 for discussion and references).”
The ESSENCE Supernova Survey: Survey Optimization, Observations, and Supernova Photometry (2007, background): “There is disagreement on important details of whether the burning wave is purely subsonic (a deflagration) or partly supersonic (a detonation; Hillebrandt & Niemeyer 2000).”
Origin of the Chemical Elements (2010, background): “The latter is the currently most widely accepted scenario explaining SN Ia (Nomoto et al. 1984, Hillebrandt and Niemeyer 2000).”
Beyond the Cosmological Standard Model (2014, positive): “Type Ia supernovae are useful because they can be used as standard candles: this type of supernova occurs when a white dwarf star reaches the Chandrasekhar mass limit and explodes [821, 822].”
Supernova Type Ia progenitors from merging double white dwarfs - Using a new population synthesis model (2012, background): “Several models exist that vary for example between a detonation or deflagration disruptionor vary between explosions at the Chandrasekhar mass or subChandrasekhar masses (see e.g. Hillebrandt & Niemeyer 2000, for a review).”
IMPROVED DISTANCES TO TYPE Ia SUPERNOVAE WITH TWO SPECTROSCOPIC SUBCLASSES (2009, background): “Most SNe Ia are found to show similar spectral and photometric behavior (e.g., Suntzeff 1996; Filippenko 1997), suggesting a relatively homogeneous origin — probably an accreting carbon-oxygen white dwarf in a binary system (e.g., Hillebrandt & Niemeyer 2000).”
COSMOLOGICAL FAST RADIO BURSTS FROM BINARY WHITE DWARF MERGERS (2013, background): “They are particularly interesting as the progenitors of SNe Ia (see, e.g., Hillebrandt & Niemeyer 2000).”
TYPE Ia SUPERNOVA RATE MEASUREMENTS TO REDSHIFT 2.5 FROM CANDELS: SEARCHING FOR PROMPT EXPLOSIONS IN THE EARLY UNIVERSE (2014, background): “The WD acquires mass from its companion star, approaches the Chandrasekhar limit, and explodes in a thermonuclear runaway (see Hillebrandt & Niemeyer 2000; Livio 2001, for reviews).”
