Electron-capture Supernovae as Sources of 60 Fe
We investigate the nucleosynthesis of the radionuclide Fe in electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe). The nucleosynthetic results are based on a self-consistent, two-dimensional simulation of an ECSN as well as models in which the densities are systematically increased by some factors (low-entropy models). Fe is found to be appreciably made in neutron-rich ejecta during the nuclear quasiequilibrium...
متن کاملELECTRON - CAPTURE SUPERNOVAE AS ORIGIN OF 48 Ca
We report that electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe), arising from collapsing oxygen-neonmagnesium cores, are a possible source of Ca, whose origin has remained a long-standing puzzle. Our two-dimensional, self-consistent explosion model of an ECSN predicts ejection of neutron-rich matter with electron fractions Ye ≈ 0.40–0.42 and relatively low entropies, s ≈ 13–15 kB per nucleon (kB is the Bolt...
متن کاملProbing Electron-capture Supernovae: X-ray Binaries in Starbursts
We develop population models of high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) formed after bursts of star formation and we investigate the effect of electron-capture supernovae (ECS) of massive ONeMg white dwarfs and the hypothesis that ECS events are associated with typically low supernova kicks imparted to the nascent neutron stars. We identify an interesting ECS bump in the time evolution of HMXB numbers...
متن کاملProgenitors of core-collapse supernovae
Knowledge of the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae is a fundamental component in understanding the explosions. The recent progress in finding such stars is reviewed. The minimum initial mass that can produce a supernova has converged to 8± 1M⊙, from direct detections of red supergiant progenitors of II-P SNe and the most massive white dwarf progenitors, although this value is model depend...
متن کاملThe Progenitors of Type Ia Supernovae
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) occur in both old, passive galaxies and active, star-forming galaxies. This fact, coupled with the strong dependence of SN Ia rate on star formation rate, suggests that SNe Ia form from stars with a wide range of ages. Here we show that the rate of SN Ia explosions is about 1% of the stellar death rate, independent of star formation history. The dependence of SN Ia r...
