Helium White Dwarfs in Cataclysmic Variables
Ken J. Shen, Irit Idan, Lars Bildsten
Binary evolution predicts a population of helium core (M < 0.5 Msol) white dwarfs (WDs) that are slowly accreting hydrogen-rich material from low mass main sequence or brown dwarf…

A faint type of supernova from a white dwarf with a helium-rich companion
H. B. Perets, A. Gal-Yam, P. Mazzali +25
Supernovae (SNe) are thought to arise from two different physical processes. The cores of massive, short-lived stars undergo gravitational core collapse and typically eject a few s…

Unstable Helium Shell Burning on Accreting White Dwarfs
Ken J. Shen, Lars Bildsten
AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) binaries consist of a degenerate helium donor and a helium, C/O, or O/Ne WD accretor, with accretion rates of Mdot = 1e-13 - 1e-5 Msol/yr. For accreti…
