Type Ia Supernovae and Remnant Neutron Stars
arXiv:astro-ph/0011150 · doi:10.1046/j.1365-8711.2001.04184.x
Abstract
On the basis of the current observational evidence, we put forward the case that the merger of two CO white dwarfs produces both a Type Ia supernova explosion and a stellar remnant, the latter in the form of a magnetar. The estimated occurrence rates raise the possibility that many, if not most, SNe Ia might result from white dwarf mergers.
