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 influence of mass-transfer variability on the growth of white dwarfs, and the implications for supernova type Ia rates
Silvia Toonen, Rasmus Voss, Christian Knigge
White dwarfs (WDs) can increase their mass by accretion from companion stars, provided the mass-accretion rate is high enough to avoid nova eruptions. The accretion regimes that al…
On double-degenerate type Ia supernova progenitors as supersoft X-ray sources - A population synthesis analysis using SeBa
Mikkel T. B. Nielsen, Gijs Nelemans, Rasmus Voss +1
Context: The nature of the progenitors of type Ia supernova (SN) progenitors remains unclear. While it is usually agreed that single-degenerate progenitor systems would be luminous…
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…
Supernova Type Ia progenitors from merging double white dwarfs: Using a new population synthesis model
Silvia Toonen, Gijs Nelemans, Simon Portegies Zwart
The study of Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) has lead to greatly improved insights into many fields in astrophysics, however a theoretical explanation of the origin of these events is st…
