56Ni Production in Double Degenerate White Dwarf Collisions
Cody Raskin, Evan Scannapieco, Gabriel Rockefeller +3
We present a comprehensive study of white dwarf collisions as an avenue for creating type Ia supernovae. Using a smooth particle hydrodynamics code with a 13-isotope, α-chain nucle…

Spectra of Type Ia Supernovae from Double Degenerate Mergers
Chris L. Fryer, Ashley J. Ruiter, Krzysztof Belczynski +13
The merger of two white dwarfs (a.k.a. double degenerate merger) has often been cited as a potential progenitor of type Ia supernovae. Here we combine population synthesis, merger…
