The DBL Survey II: towards a mass-period distribution of double white dwarf binaries
James Munday, Ingrid Pelisoli, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +14
Double white dwarf binaries are an important remnant of binary evolution as they are possible type Ia supernova progenitors and strong sources of gravitational waves in the low-fre…
Comparing population synthesis models of compact double white dwarfs to electromagnetic observations
Wouter G. J. van Zeist, Jan van Roestel, Gijs Nelemans +3
Context: Studies of the Galactic population of double white dwarfs (DWDs) that would be detectable in gravitational waves by LISA have found differences in the number of predicted…
A super-Chandrasekhar mass type Ia supernova progenitor at 49 pc set to detonate in 23 Gyr
James Munday, Ruediger Pakmor, Ingrid Pelisoli +9
Double white dwarf binaries are a leading explanation to the origin of type Ia supernovae, but no system exceeding the Chandrasekhar mass limit (1.4 M) has been found that…
White dwarfs in the building blocks of the Galactic spheroid
Pim van Oirschot, Gijs Nelemans, Else Starkenburg +3
The galactic halo likely grew over time in part by assembling smaller galaxies, the so-called building blocks. We investigate if the properties of these building blocks are reflect…
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…
The formation of Cataclysmic Variables: the influence of nova eruptions
G. Nelemans, L. Siess, S. Repetto +2
The theoretical and observed populations of pre-cataclysmic variables (pre-CVs) are dominated by systems with low-mass white dwarfs (WDs), while the WD masses in CVs are typically…
