Type Ia Supernovae from Merging White Dwarfs II) Post-Merger Detonations
Cody Raskin, Daniel Kasen, Rainer Moll +2
Merging carbon-oxygen (CO) white dwarfs are a promising progenitor system for Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia), but the underlying physics and timing of the detonation are still debated.…

Type Ia Supernovae from Merging White Dwarfs I. Prompt Detonations
Rainer Moll, Cody Raskin, Daniel Kasen +1
Merging white dwarfs are a possible progenitor of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). While it is not entirely clear if and when an explosion is triggered in such systems, numerical model…

Tidal Tail Ejection as a Signature of Type~Ia Supernovae from White Dwarf Mergers
Cody Raskin, Daniel Kasen
The merger of two white dwarfs may be preceded by the ejection of some mass in "tidal tails", creating a circumstellar medium around the system. We consider the variety of observat…
