Merger of a White Dwarf-Neutron Star Binary to Carat Diamonds: Origin of the Pulsar Planets
Ben Margalit, Brian D. Metzger
We show that the merger and tidal disruption of a C/O white dwarf (WD) by a neutron star (NS) binary companion provides a natural formation scenario for the PSR B1257+12 planetary…

Time dependent models of accretion disks with nuclear burning following the tidal disruption of a white dwarf by a neutron star
Ben Margalit, Brian D. Metzger
We construct time-dependent one-dimensional (vertically averaged) models of accretion disks produced by the tidal disruption of a white dwarf (WD) by a binary neutron star (NS) com…
