Wind Roche Lobe Overflow as a way to make type Ia supernova from the widest symbiotic systems

Krystian Ilkiewicz, Joanna Mikolajewska, Krzysztof Belczynski +2

Symbiotic stars are interacting binaries with one of the longest orbital periods. Since they can contain a massive white dwarf with a high accretion rate they are considered a poss…
