The single degenerate channel for the progenitor of type Ia supernovae
Xiangcun Meng, Xuefei Chen, Zhanwen Han
We have carried out a detailed study of the single-degenerate channel for the progenitors of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). In the model, a carbon-oxygen white dwarf (CO WD) accretes…
Mass transfer from a giant star to a main sequence companion and its contribution to long-orbital-period blue stragglers
Xuefei Chen, Zhanwen Han
Binary population synthesis shows that mass transfer from a giant star to a main-sequence (MS) companion may account for some observed long-orbital period blue stragglers. However,…
Binary coalescence from case A evolution -- mergers and blue stragglers
Xuefei Chen, Zhanwen Han
We constructed some main-sequence mergers from case A binary evolution and studied their characteristics via Eggleton's stellar evolution code. Both total mass and orbital angular…
Initial-Final Mass Relationship for Stars of Different Metallicities
X. Meng, X. Chen, Z. Han
Following Paczyński & Ziólkowski (1968) and Han et al. (1994), we assume that the envelope of an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) or a first giant branch (FGB) star is lost when the b…
Effects of chemical composition and thermohaline mixing on the accreting components for low--mass close binaries: application to blue stragglers
X. Chen, Z. Han
We studied the effects of surface composition and thermohaline mixing caused by secular instability on the accreting components for low--mass binaries and applied the results on a…
