SMC3 as a test to the binary evolution
arXiv:1512.03679 · doi:10.1051/eas/1571034
Abstract
SMC 3 is one of the most interesting symbiotic stars. This binary contains a bright K-type giant transferring mass to a massive white dwarf comanion, which makes it is a very promising SN Ia candidate. We discuss the evolutionary status of the system using results of population synthesis code.
