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…
Multidimensional Nebular-Phase Calculations of Dynamically-Driven Double-Degenerate Double-Detonation Models for Type Ia Supernovae
J. M. Pollin, S. A. Sim, L. J. Shingles +7
The dynamically-driven double-degenerate double-detonation model has emerged as a promising progenitor candidate for Type Ia supernovae. In this scenario, the primary white dwarf i…
The asymmetry of white dwarf double detonations and the observed scatter around the Phillips relation
Alexander Holas, Friedrich K. Roepke, Rüdiger Pakmor +6
Recent Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) simulations featuring a double detonation scenario have managed to reproduce the overall trend of the Phillips relation reasonably well. However, m…
NLTE spectral modelling for a carbon-oxygen and helium white-dwarf merger as a Ca-rich transient candidate
F. P. Callan, A. Holas, J. Morán-Fraile +7
We carry out NLTE (non local thermodynamic equilibrium) radiative transfer simulations to determine whether explosion during the merger of a carbon-oxygen (CO) white dwarf (WD) wit…
