Light Curves and Spectra from a Thermonuclear Explosion of a White Dwarf Merger

Daniel R. van Rossum, Rahul Kashyap, Robert Fisher +5

Double-degenerate (DD) mergers of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs have recently emerged as a leading candidate for normal Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). However, many outstanding question…

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics simulations of the core-degenerate scenario for Type Ia supernovae

G. Aznar-Siguán, E. García-Berro, P. Lorén-Aguilar +2

The core-degenerate (CD) scenario for type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) involves the merger of the hot core of an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star and a white dwarf, and might contribut…

A white dwarf merger as progenitor of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 4U 0142+61?

J. A. Rueda, K. Boshkayev, L. Izzo +5

It has been recently proposed that massive fast-rotating highly-magnetized white dwarfs could describe the observational properties of some of Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters (SGRs) and A…

On the origin of high-field magnetic white dwarfs

E. García-Berro, S. Torres, P. Lorén-Aguilar +6

High-field magnetic white dwarfs have been long suspected to be the result of stellar mergers. However, the nature of the coalescing stars and the precise mechanism that produces t…
