    • Dessart, Luc (EDP Sciences, 2018)
      Transient surveys have recently revealed the existence of H-rich super-luminous supernovae (SLSN; e. g., iPTF14hls, OGLE-SN14-073) that are characterized by an exceptionally high time-integrated bolometric luminosity, a ...
    • Wilk, Kevin D.; Hillier, D. John; Dessart, Luc (Oxford University Press, 2018)
      We present one-dimensional non-local thermodynamic equilibrium time-dependent radiative transfer simulations (using CMFGEN) of two sub-Chandrasekhar (sub-M-Ch), one M-Ch and one super-M-Ch Type Ia SN ejecta models. Three ...
    • Blondin, Stephane; Dessart, Luc; Hillier, D. John; Khokhlov, Alexei M. (Oxford University Pres, 2017)
      The faster light-curve evolution of low-luminosity Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) suggests that they could result from the explosion of white dwarf (WD) progenitors below the Chandrasekhar mass (M-Ch). Here we present 1D ...
    • Dessart, Luc; Hillier, D. John; Audit, Edouard (EDP Sciences, 2017)
      Early-time observations of Type II supernovae (SNe) 2013cu and 2013fs have revealed an interaction of ejecta with material near the star surface. Unlike Type IIn SN 2010jl, which interacts with a dense wind for similar to ...
    • Lisakov, Sergey M.; Dessart, Luc; Hillier, D. John; Waldman, Roni; Livne, Eli (Oxford University Press, 2018)
      The progenitors of low-luminosity Type II-Plateau supernovae (SNe II-P) are believed to be red supergiant (RSG) stars, but there is much disparity in the literature concerning their mass at core collapse and therefore on ...
    • Dessart, Luc (EDP Sciences, 2019)
      Numerous superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) of Type Ic have been discovered and monitored in the last decade. The favored mechanism at their origin is a sustained power injection from a magnetar. This study presents non-local ...
    • Dessart, Luc; Audit, Edouard (EDP Sciences, 2018-05-15)
      Magnetar power is believed to be at the origin of numerous super-luminous supernovae (SNe) of Type Ic, arising from compact, hydrogen-deficient, Wolf-Rayet type stars. Here, we investigate the properties that magnetar power ...
    • Dessart, Luc; Hillier, D. John (EDP Sciences, 2019)
      Supernova (SN) 1987A was classified as a peculiar Type II SN because of its long rising light curve and the persistent presence of H I lines in optical spectra. It was subsequently realized that its progenitor was a blue ...
    • Dessart, Luc; Yoon, Sung-Chul; Livne, Eli; Waldman, Roni (EDP Sciences S A, 2018)
      Massive stars with a core-halo structure are interesting objects for stellar physics and hydrodynamics. Using simulations for stellar evolution, radiation hydrodynamics, and radiative transfer, we study the explosion of ...
    • Yoon, Sung-Chul; Chun, Wonseok; Tolstov, Alexey; Blinnikov, Sergey; Dessart, Luc (IOP Publishing, 2019)
      We investigate the effect of mixing of radioactive nickel (Ni-56) on the early-time color evolution of Type Ib and Ic supernovae (SNe Ib/Ic) using multigroup radiation hydrodynamics simulations. We consider both helium-rich ...
