The Viscous Evolution of White Dwarf Merger Remnants
Josiah Schwab, Ken J. Shen, Eliot Quataert +2
The merger of two white dwarfs (WDs) creates a differentially rotating remnant which is unstable to magnetohydrodynamic instabilities. These instabilities can lead to viscous evolu…
On the point mass approximation to calculate the gravitational wave signal from white dwarf binaries
D. van den Broek, G. Nelemans, M. Dan +1
Double white dwarf binaries in the Galaxy dominate the gravitational wave sky and would be detectable for an instrument such as LISA. Most studies have calculated the expected grav…
How the merger of two white dwarfs depends on their mass ratio: orbital stability and detonations at contact
Marius Dan, Stephan Rosswog, James Guillochon +1
Despite their unique astrophysical relevance, the outcome of white dwarf binary mergers has so far only been studied for a very restricted number of systems. Here we present the re…
