Two distributions shedding light on supernova Ia progenitors: delay times and G-dwarf metallicities

N. Mennekens, D. Vanbeveren, J. P. De Greve +1

Using a population number synthesis code with detailed binary evolution, we calculate the distribution of the number of type Ia supernovae as a function of time after starburst. Th…

Delay time distribution of type Ia supernovae: theory vs. observation

N. Mennekens, D. Vanbeveren, J. P. De Greve +1

Two formation scenarios are investigated for type Ia supernovae in elliptical galaxies: the single degenerate scenario (a white dwarf reaching the Chandrasekhar limit through accre…

The delay time distribution of type Ia supernovae: a comparison between theory and observation

N. Mennekens, D. Vanbeveren, J. P. De Greve +1

We investigate the contribution of different formation scenarios for type Ia supernovae in elliptical galaxies. The single degenerate scenario (a white dwarf accreting from a late…

The chemical evolution of the solar neighbourhood

D. Vanbeveren, E. De Donder

Recent models of galactic chemical evolution account for updated evolutionary models of massive stars (with special emphasis on stellar winds) and for the effects of intermediate m…

The Chemical Evolution of the Solar Neighbourhood: the Effect of Binaries

E. De Donder, D. Vanbeveren

In this paper we compute the time evolution of the elements (4He, 12C, 14N, 16O, 20Ne, 24Mg, 28Si, 32S, 40Ca and 56Fe) and of the supernova rates in the solar neighbourhood by mean…
