Tominaga, N., Blinnikov, S., Baklanov, P., Morokuma, T., Nomoto, K., Suzuki, T.
Shock breakout is the brightest radiative phenomenon in a Type II supernova (SN). Although it was predicted to be bright, the direct observation is difficult due to the short duration and...
XMM-Newton X-ray spectra of the SNR 0509-67.5: data and models (2008)
Kosenko, D., Vink, J., Blinnikov, S., Rasmussen, A.
We report on X-ray observations of the supernova remnant 0509-67.5 in the Large Magellanic Cloud with XMM-Newton X-ray observatory. We use the imaging spectroscopy (EPIC) and Reflective Grating...
Pulsational pair instability as an explanation for the most luminous supernovae (2007)
Woosley, S. E., Blinnikov, S., Heger, Alexander
The extremely luminous supernova SN 2006gy challenges the traditional view that the collapse of a stellar core is the only mechanism by which a massive star makes a supernova, because it seems too...
Production of intermediate-mass and heavy nuclei (2007)
Fröhlich, C., Hirschi, R., Liebendörfer, M., Dillmann, I., Mocelj, D., ...
Type Ia Supernova Light Curves (2006)
Woosley, S. E., Kasen, Daniel, Blinnikov, S., Sorokina, E.
The diversity of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) photometry is explored using a grid of 130 one-dimensional models. It is shown that the observable properties of SNe Ia resulting from Chandrasekhar-mass...
Photometric observations of the Type Ia SN 2002er in UGC 10743 (2004)
Pignata, G., Patat, F., Benetti, S., Blinnikov, S., Hillebrandt, W., Kotak, R., ...
Extensive light and colour curves for the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2002er are presented as part of the European Supernova Collaboration. We have collected UBVRI photometry from 11 different...
Photometric Observations of the Type Ia SN 2002er in UGC 10743 (2004)
Pignata, G., Patat, F., Benetti, S., Blinnikov, S., Hillebrandt, W., Kotak, R., ...
Extensive light and colour curves for the Type Ia supernova SN 2002er are presented as part of the European Supernova Collaboration. We have collected UBVRI photometry from ten different telescopes...
Photometric observations of the Type Ia SN 2002er in UGC 10743 (2004)
Pignata, G., Patat, F., Benetti, S., Blinnikov, S., Hillebrandt, W., Kotak, R., ...
Thermonuclear supernovae are valuable for cosmology but their physics is not yet fully understood. Modeling the development and propagation of nuclear flame is complicated by numerous instabilities....
Observable Effects of Shocks in Compact and Extended Presupernovae (2002)
Blinnikov, S., Chugai, N., Lundqvist, P., Nadyozhin, D., Woosley, S., Sorokina, E.
We simulate shock propagation in a wide range of core-collapsing presupernovae: from compact WR stars exploding as SNe Ib/c through very extended envelopes of the narrow-line SNe IIn. We find that...
Type Ia Supernova models: latest developments (2002)
Supernovae of type Ia (SNe Ia) are very important for cosmography. To exclude systematic effects in linking the observed light of distant SNe Ia to the parameters of cosmological models, one has to...
Mitchell, RC, Baron, E, Branch, D, Hauschildt, PH, Nugent, PE, Lundqvist, P, ...
Supernova 1987A remains the most well studied supernova to date. Observations produced excellent broadband photometric and spectroscopic coverage over a wide wavelength range at all epochs. We model...
Cosmic Gamma-ray Bursts. Lectures Presented at XXVII ITEP Winter School (1999)
The properties of the cosmic Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are briefly summarized. A detailed bibliography is given with titles of the papers. Two fundamental theoretical problems are pointed out: the...
Gamma-ray Bursts Produced by Mirror Stars (1999)
I argue that cosmic Gamma-ray Bursts (GRB) may be produced by collapses or mergers of stars made of `mirror' matter. The mirror neutrinos (which are sterile for our matter) produced at these events...
Expansions for nearly Gaussian distributions (1997)
Various types of expansions in series of Chebyshev-Hermite polynomials currently used in astrophysics for weakly non-normal distributions are compared, namely the Gram-Charlier, Gauss-Hermite and...
