Reproducing the observed abundances in RCB and HdC stars with post-double degenerate merger models - constraints on merger and post-merger simulations and physics processes
Athira Menon, Falk Herwig, Pavel A. Denissenkov +4
The R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars are hydrogen-deficient, variable stars that are most likely the result of He-CO WD mergers. They display extremely low oxygen isotopic ratios, 16…

Do R Coronae Borealis Stars Form from Double White Dwarf Mergers?
Jan. E. Staff, Athira Menon, Falk Herwig +7
A leading formation scenario for R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars invokes the merger of degenerate He and CO white dwarfs (WD) in a binary. The observed ratio of 16O/18O for RCB star…
