A Comparison of Grid-Based and SPH Binary Mass-Transfer and Merger Simulations
Patrick M Motl, Juhan Frank, Jan Staff +5
Currently there is great interest in the outcomes and astrophysical implications of mergers of double degenerate binaries. In a commonly adopted approximation, the components of su…
A Numerical Method for Studying Super-Eddington Mass Transfer in Double White Dwarf Binaries
Dominic C. Marcello, Joel E. Tohline
We present a numerical method for the study of double white dwarf (DWD) binary systems at the onset of super-Eddington mass transfer. We incorporate the physics of ideal inviscid h…
A Hybrid Advection Scheme for Conserving Angular Momentum on a Refined Cartesian Mesh
Zachary D. Byerly, Bryce Adelstein-Lelbach, Joel E. Tohline +1
We test a new "hybrid" scheme for simulating dynamical fluid flows in which cylindrical components of the momentum are advected across a rotating Cartesian coordinate mesh. This hy…
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…
Constructing Synchronously Rotating Double White Dwarf Binaries
Wesley Even, Joel E. Tohline
We have developed a self-consistent-field technique similar to the one described by Hachisu, Eriguchi, & Nomoto (1986b) that can be used to construct detailed force-balanced models…
Population boundaries for compact white-dwarf binaries in LISA's amplitude-frequency domain
Ravi kumar Kopparapu
In an earlier investigation, we proposed population boundaries for both inspiralling and mass-transferring double white dwarf (DWD) systems in the distance independent "absolute" a…
