The convective Urca process
P. Lesaffre, Ph. Podsiadlowski, C. A. Tout
One possible fate of an accreting white dwarf is explosion in a type Ia supernova. However, the route to the thermonuclear runaway has always been uncertain owing to the lack of a…
A two-stream formalism for the convective Urca process
P. Lesaffre, Ph. Podsiadlowski, C. A. Tout
We derive a new formalism for convective motions involving two radial flows. This formalism provides a framework for convective models that guarantees consistency for the chemistry…
Temporal evolution of magnetic molecular shocks II. Analytics of the steady state and semi-analytical construction of intermediate ages
P. Lesaffre, J. -P. Chièze, S. Cabrit +1
In the first paper of this series (Paper I) we computed time dependent simulations of multifluid shocks with chemistry and a transverse magnetic field frozen in the ions, using an…
Temporal evolution of magnetic molecular shocks I. Moving grid simulations
P. Lesaffre, J. -P. Chièze, S. Cabrit +1
We present time-dependent 1D simulations of multifluid magnetic shocks with chemistry resolved down to the mean free path. They are obtained with an adaptive moving grid implemente…
