The origin of hypervelocity white dwarfs in the merger-disruption of He-CO white dwarfs
Hila Glanz, Hagai B. Perets, Aakash Bhat +1
Hypervelocity white dwarfs (HVWDs) are stellar remnants moving at speeds exceeding the Milky Way's escape velocity. The origins of the fastest HVWDs are enigmatic, with proposed fo…

Morphology and Mach Number Dependence of Subsonic Bondi-Hoyle Accretion
Logan J. Prust, Hila Glanz, Lars Bildsten +2
We carry out three-dimensional computations of the accretion rate onto an object (of size and mass ) as it moves through a uniform medium at a subsonic speed $v_{…
