He-star donor pathway for the hypervelocity star D6-2
Abinaya Swaruba Rajamuthukumar, Ruediger Pakmor, Stephen Justham +2
Type Ia supernovae are thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs, yet the nature of their progenitor systems remains uncertain. Recent discoveries of hypervelocity stars provide uni…
Violent mergers can explain the inflated state of some of the fastest stars in the Galaxy
Aakash Bhat, Rüdiger Pakmor, Ken J. Shen +2
A significant number of hypervelocity stars with velocities between km/s have recently been observed. The only plausible explanation so far is that they have been produ…
Violent mergers revisited: The origin of the fastest stars in the Galaxy
Rüdiger Pakmor, Ken J. Shen, Aakash Bhat +12
Binary systems of two carbon-oxygen white dwarfs are one of the most promising candidates for the progenitor systems of Type Ia supernovae. Violent mergers, where the primary white…
Faint supernovae and hyper-runaway white-dwarfs from single He-detonation in double HeCO-white-dwarf mergers
Hila Glanz, Hagai B. Perets, Aakash Bhat
We present three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of mergers between low-mass hybrid HeCO white dwarfs (WDs), offering new insights into the diversity of thermonuclear transi…
