Evolution models of helium white dwarf--main-sequence star merger remnants: the mass distribution of single low-mass white dwarfs
Xianfei Zhang, Philip D. Hall, C. Simon Jeffery +1
It is not known how single white dwarfs with masses less than 0.5Msolar -- low-mass white dwarfs -- are formed. One way in which such a white dwarf might be formed is after the mer…

Evolution models of helium white dwarf--main sequence star merger remnants
Xianfei Zhang, Philip D. Hall, C. Simon Jeffery +1
It is predicted that orbital decay by gravitational-wave radiation and tidal interaction will cause some close-binary stars to merge within a Hubble time. The merger of a helium-co…
