New constraints on binary evolution enhance the supernova type Ia rate
S. Toonen
Even though Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) play an important role in many fields in astronomy, the nature of the progenitors of SNIa remain a mystery. One of the classical evolutionary…
Population synthesis of classical low-mass X-ray binaries in the Galactic Bulge
L. M. van Haaften, G. Nelemans, R. Voss +2
Aims. We model the present-day population of 'classical' low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) with neutron star accretors, which have hydrogen-rich donor stars. Their population is comp…
Population synthesis of ultracompact X-ray binaries in the Galactic Bulge
L. M. van Haaften, G. Nelemans, R. Voss +4
[abridged] Aims. We model the number and properties of ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) in the Galactic Bulge. The objective is to learn about the formation of UCXBs and their e…
Binary population synthesis and SNIa rates
S. Toonen, G. Nelemans, M. Bours +1
Despite the significance of type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) in many fields in astrophysics, SNeIa lack a theoretical explanation. We investigate the potential contribution to the SNeIa…
Progenitors of Supernovae Type Ia
S. Toonen, G. Nelemans, M. Bours +4
Despite the significance of Type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) in many fields in astrophysics, SNeIa lack a theoretical explanation. The standard scenarios involve thermonuclear explosions…
POPCORN: A comparison of binary population synthesis codes
J. S. W. Claeys, S. Toonen, N. Mennekens
We compare the results of three binary population synthesis codes to understand the differences in their results. As a first result we find that when equalizing the assumptions the…
