Monte Carlo simulations of post-common-envelope white dwarf + main sequence binaries: The effects of including recombination energy
M. Zorotovic, M. R. Schreiber, E. García-Berro +4
Detached WD+MS PCEBs are perhaps the most suitable objects for testing predictions of close-compact binary-star evolution theories, in particular, CE evolution. The population of W…
On the origin of high-field magnetic white dwarfs
E. García-Berro, S. Torres, P. Lorén-Aguilar +6
High-field magnetic white dwarfs have been long suspected to be the result of stellar mergers. However, the nature of the coalescing stars and the precise mechanism that produces t…
Explaining the type Ia supernova PTF 11kx with a violent-prompt merger scenario
Noam Soker, Amit Kashi, Enrique Garcia-Berro +2
We argue that the multiple shells of circumstellar material (CSM) and the supernovae (SN) ejecta interaction with the CSM starting 59 days after the explosion of the Type Ia SN (SN…
Double degenerate mergers as progenitors of high-field magnetic white dwarfs
E. García-Berro, P. Lorén-Aguilar, G. Aznar-Siguán +6
High-field magnetic white dwarfs have been long suspected to be the result of stellar mergers. However, the nature of the coalescing stars and the precise mechanism that produces t…
The white dwarf cooling sequence of NGC 6791: a unique tool for stellar evolution
E. García-Berro, S. Torres, I. Renedo +5
NGC 6791 is a well-studied, metal-rich open cluster that is so close to us that can be imaged down to luminosities fainter than that of the termination of its white dwarf cooling s…
