The population of close double white dwarfs in the Galaxy

Lev Yungelson, Gijs Nelemans, Simon. F. Portegies Zwart +1

We present a new model for the Galactic population of close double white dwarfs. The model accounts for the suggestion of the avoidance of a substantial spiral-in during mass trans…
