Moment of Birth - How Infant-Phase Signals from SN2018aoz Inform

Explore a 20-minute conference talk on the early signals from supernova SN2018aoz and their implications for white dwarf physics. Delivered by Yuan Qi Ni from the University of Toronto at the "White Dwarfs from Physics to Astrophysics" conference, this presentation delves into how infant-phase observations of this particular supernova provide valuable insights into white dwarf formation and evolution. Gain a deeper understanding of how such observations contribute to our knowledge of stellar remnants, Galactic star formation rates, and potential gravitational wave sources. Learn about the latest developments in white dwarf modeling and the underlying physics, including equations of state and opacities. Discover how this research fits into the broader context of using white dwarfs as diagnostic tools for various astrophysical phenomena.
