We study theoretical neutrino signals from core-collapse supernova (CCSN) computed using axisymmetric CCSN simulations that cover the post-bounce phase up to $\sim 4$~s. We provide basic quantities of the neutrino signals such as event…
Current cc-SN models predict overproduction of 44Ti compared to observations. We present a model for an alternative channel where a cc-SN explosion is followed by a neutron star detonation (Quark Nova or QN), resulting in a spallation…
Supernovae are the most energetic stellar events and influence the interstellar medium by their gasdynamics and energetics. By this, both also affect the star formation positively and negatively. In this paper, we review the development of…
We report on the latest (2007 Jan) observations of supernova remnant (SNR) 1987A from the XMM-Newton mission. Since the 2003 May observations of Haberl et al. (2006), 11 emission lines have experienced increases in flux by factors ~ 3 to…
We present the results of a search for scandium K$_\alpha$ X-ray fluorescence resulting from $^{44}$Ti electron capture decay in four young supernova remnants. We analyzed archival XMM-Newton data from Tycho's SNR, Kepler's SNR, Cassiopeia…
With the goal of producing a reliable set of model atoms and singly-ionized ions for use in building NLTE model atmospheres, we have combined measured energy levels, critically-compiled line transition probabilities, and resonance-averaged…
The theory of the conservation of energy in the thin layer approximation has been extended to special relativity. Four models for the density of the circumstellar medium are analyzed, which are represented by constant, power law,…
Supernova (SN) explosions are crucial engines driving the evolution of galaxies by shock heating gas, increasing the metallicity, creating dust, and accelerating energetic particles. In 2012 we used the Atacama Large…
We show that a cooled region of shocked supernova ejecta forms in a type II supernova-QSO wind interaction, and has a density, an ionization parameter, and a column density compatible with those inferred for the high ionization component of…
The rings observed around supernova remnant 1987A are emitted by a plasma mainly made of ionized and neutral hydrogen atoms. With a density of 10 power 10 atoms per cubic metre, and at least a dimension of plasma of 0.01 light-year, the…
We present preliminary data and modeling of the late time light curve of the Type Ia supernova SN 2000cx. Optical and near-infrared data obtained with the VLT at 360 to 480 days past maximum light show the increasing importance of the…
We return to interpreting the historical SN~1987A neutrino data from a modern perspective. To this end, we construct a suite of spherically symmetric supernova models with the Prometheus-Vertex code, using four different equations of state…
Some stars are known to explode at the end of their lives, called supernovae (SNe). The substantial amount of matter and energy that SNe release provides significant feedback to star formation and gas dynamics in a galaxy. SNe release a…
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) play a key role in measuring cosmological parameters, in which the Phillips relation is adopted. However, the origin of the relation is still unclear. Several parameters are suggested, e.g. the relative content…
The radiosotope $^{44}$Ti is produced through $\alpha$-rich freezeout and explosive helium burning in type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). In this paper, we discuss how the detection of $^{44}$Ti, either through late-time light curves of SNe Ia, or…
Multiwavelength observations of Type II supernovae have shown evidence for the interaction of supernovae with the dense slow winds from the red supergiant progenitor stars. Observations of planetary nebulae and the nebula around SN 1987A…
Proto-neutron stars formed during core-collapse supernovae are hot and dense environments that contain a sizable population of muons. If these interact with new long-lived particles with masses up to roughly 100 MeV, the latter can be…
The beginning of the cosmological phase bearing the direct kinematic imprints of supernovae dimming may significantly vary within different models of late-time cosmology, even if such models are able to fit present SNe data at a comparable…
We study a time-dependent hydrogen ionization in the atmosphere of SN 1987A during the first month after the explosion. The model includes kinetics of hydrogen ionization and excitation, molecular hydrogen kinetics, and a time-dependent…
We calculate models of extended stellar atmospheres with a temperature in the range of 12000-40000K and a mass loss rate of $10^{-6}-10^{-4} M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$. A large number of objects with emission spectra, such as luminous blue…
