Blue supergiant progenitor models of Type II supernovae
D. Vanbeveren, N. Mennekens, W. Van Rensbergen +1
In the present paper we show that within all the uncertainties that govern the process of Roche lobe overflow in Case Br type massive binaries, it can not be excluded that a signif…
Progenitors of type Ia supernovae and the metallicity distribution of G-type dwarfs
N. Mennekens, D. Vanbeveren, J. P. De Greve
We investigate the contribution to the formation of type Ia supernovae of the single (a white dwarf accreting from a non-degenerate companion) and double (two merging white dwarfs)…
POPCORN: A comparison of binary population synthesis codes
J. S. W. Claeys, S. Toonen, N. Mennekens
We compare the results of three binary population synthesis codes to understand the differences in their results. As a first result we find that when equalizing the assumptions the…
Two distributions shedding light on supernova Ia progenitors: delay times and G-dwarf metallicities
N. Mennekens, D. Vanbeveren, J. P. De Greve +1
Using a population number synthesis code with detailed binary evolution, we calculate the distribution of the number of type Ia supernovae as a function of time after starburst. Th…
