State of the Profession Considerations for Laboratory Astrophysics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the importance of laboratory astrophysics studies of the underlying processes controlling the observed properties of the Cosmos and the need for robust support for such studies to maximize the scientific return of astronomical observations.

Further Studies of Accretion onto Hot, Massive, White Dwarfs: The Growth to the Chandrasekhar Limit

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on studies of accretion of material of solar composition at a variety of rates onto hot, massive white dwarfs (WDs) and show that the abundances in the accreted layers are sensitive to the accretion rate, potentially affecting the dynamics of the supernova explosion and observations of elemental distributions.
