1. Looking for the high-mass progenitors of stripped-envelope supernovae
Sammanfattning : Stripped-envelope supernovae were thought to be the explosions of very massive stars (& 20 M) that lost their outer layers of hydrogen and/or helium in strong stellar winds. However, recent studies have highlighted that most stripped-envelope supernovae seem to be arising from rela- tively lower-mass progenitor stars in the 12 20 M(sun) range, creating a mystery about the fate of the higher-mass stars.

2. Bumpy light curves of interacting supernovae
Sammanfattning : A supernova (SN) is the explosive destruction of a star. Via a luminous outpouring of radiation, the SN can rival the brightness of its SN host galaxy for months or years. LÄS MER
3. SN 2011dh and the progenitors of Type IIb supernovae
Sammanfattning : Core-collapse supernovae (SNe) are the observed events following the collapse of the core of evolved massive stars. The gravitational energy released creates a powerful shock that disrupts the star and ejects the heated material into the surrounding circumstellar medium. The observed properties depend on the mass lost by the star, e.g. LÄS MER
4. Supernova surroundings on circumstellar and galactic scales
Sammanfattning : Some stars cease to be in a bright and destructive display called a supernova. This thesis explores what we can learn about supernovae (SNe) by studying their immediate surroundings, and what the SNe can teach us about their environments. LÄS MER
5. An X-Ray View of Core-collapse Supernovae
Sammanfattning : A core-collapse supernova (CCSN) is an astronomical explosion that indicates the death of a massive star. From observations, it is clear that a large fraction of all massive stars undergoes supernova (SN) explosions, but describing how SNe explode has remained a challenge for many decades. LÄS MER
