Population synthesis for low and intermediate mass binaries
L. R. Yungelson
A review of the basic principles of the population synthesis for binary stars is presented. We discuss the break-up of low and intermediate mass close binaries over different evolu…
The White Dwarfs in AM CVn systems - candidates for SN Ia?
Jan-Erik Solheim, Lev R. Yungelson
Thanks to the rapid increase of observations of Supernovae Ia, we may now claim that the Universe is accelerating. SN Ia are believed to be good standard candles, and after correct…
Population Synthesis for Progenitors of Type Ia Supernovae
Lev R. Yungelson
We discuss application of population synthesis for binary stars to progenitors of SN Ia. We show that the only candidate systems able to support the rate of SNe Ia $\sim 10^{-3} yr…
Double degenerates and progenitors of supernovae type Ia
R. Napiwotzki, L. Yungelson, G. Nelemans +12
We report on systematic radial velocity surveys for white dwarf - white dwarf binaries (double degenerates - DDs) including SPY (ESO Supernovae Ia progenitor survey) recently carri…
