Bulk properties and physical characteristics of stripped-envelope supernovae
Stripped-envelope supernovae (SE-SNe) are a subset of core-collapse supernovae; the explosive death of a massive star. Their defining characteristic is the lack of promi- nent He and/or H envelope suggesting significant mass loss prior to explosion. Their progenitors may be high mass single stars …

Helium : lifting high-performance stencil kernels from stripped x86 binaries to halide DSL code
… lift performance-critical stencil kernels from a stripped x86 binary and generate the corresponding code in the high-level domain-specific language Halide. Using Halide's state-of-the-art optimizations targeting current hardware, we show that new optimized versions of these kernels can replace the …

XMM-Newton Survey of the Magellanic Bridge
… ago. During the approach, gas had been tidally stripped (most likely from the Small Magellanic Cloud) into the interconnecting Bridge. According to models of star formation history (Harris, 2007), alongside optical surveys of the Bridge (Skowron et al., 2014), there is strong evidence to suggest …
