The population of close double white dwarfs in the Galaxy
Lev Yungelson, Gijs Nelemans, Simon. F. Portegies Zwart +1
We present a new model for the Galactic population of close double white dwarfs. The model accounts for the suggestion of the avoidance of a substantial spiral-in during mass trans…
Fun for Two
S. F. Portegies Zwart, L. R. Yungelson, G. Nelemans
We performed populations synthesis calculations of single stars and binaries and show that binary evolution is extremely important for Galactic astronomy. We review several binary…
Reconstructing the evolution of double helium white dwarfs: envelope loss without spiral-in
Gijs Nelemans, Frank Verbunt, Lev R. Yungelson +1
The unique core-mass - radius relation for giants with degenerate helium cores enables us to reconstruct the evolution of three observed double helium white dwarfs with known masse…
