He-Accreting WDs: accretion regimes and final outcomes
L. Piersanti, A. Tornambé, L. R. Yungelson
The behaviour of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (WDs) subject to direct helium accretion is extensively studied. We aim to analyze the thermal response of the accreting WD to mass depo…
Next generation population synthesis of accreting white dwarfs: I. Hybrid calculations using BSE + MESA
Hai-Liang Chen, T. E. Woods, L. R. Yungelson +2
Accreting, nuclear-burning white dwarfs have been deemed to be candidate progenitors of type Ia supernovae, and to account for supersoft X-ray sources, novae, etc. depending on the…
The Evolution of Compact Binary Star Systems
Konstantin Postnov, Lev Yungelson
We review the formation and evolution of compact binary stars consisting of white dwarfs (WDs), neutron stars (NSs), and black holes (BHs). Mergings of compact binary stars are exp…
