On the progenitors of super-Chandrasekhar mass type Ia supernovae
Wen-Cong Chen, Xiang-Dong Li
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) can be used as the standard candlelight to determine the cosmological distances because they are thought to have a uniform fuel amount. Recent observati…
Can angular momentum loss cause the period change of NN Ser?
Wen-Cong Chen
NN Ser is a non mass-transferring pre-cataclysmic variable containing a white dwarf with a mass of and an M dwarf secondary star with a mass of $\sim 0.2 M_{\o…
Evolving to type Ia supernovae with long delay time
Wen-Cong Chen, Xiang-Dong Li
Recent investigations on the delay time of type Ia supernovae have set useful constraints on the progenitors of type Ia supernovae. Here we have calculated the evolution of close b…
Orbital Evolution of Algol Binaries with a Circumbinary Disk
Wen-Cong Chen, Xiang-Dong Li, Sheng-Bang Qian
It is generally thought that conservative mass transfer in Algol binaries causes their orbits to be wider, in which the less massive star overflows its Roche-lobe. The observed dec…
