Is KPD 1930+2752 a good SN Ia progenitor?
E. Ergma, A. V. Fedorova, L. R. Yungelson
We investigate the evolution of a binary system which initially has an orbital period of 2^h 17^m and contains a 0.5 M_sun helium star with a white dwarf companion of 0.97 M_sun, s…
The gravitational wave signal from the Galactic disk population of binaries containing two compact objects
G. Nelemans, L. R. Yungelson, S. F. Portegies Zwart
We review the properties of Galactic binaries containing two compact objects, as derived by means of population synthesis. Using this information we calculate the gravitational wav…
Population synthesis for double white dwarfs. II. Semi-detached systems: AM CVn stars
G. Nelemans, S. F. Portegies Zwart, F. Verbunt +1
We study two models for AM CVn stars: white dwarfs accreting (i) from a helium white dwarf companion and (ii) from a helium-star donor. We show that in the first model possibly no…
