On Rejuvenation in Massive Binary Systems
L. M. Dray, C. A. Tout
We introduce a set of stellar models for massive stars whose evolution has been affected by mass transfer in a binary system, at a range of metallicities. As noted by other authors…
Hibernation Revived by Weak Magnetic Braking
Rebecca G. Martin, Christopher A. Tout
Cataclysmic variables undergo periodic nova explosions during which a finite mass of material is expelled on a short timescale. The system widens and, as a result, the mass-transfe…
Critical Mass Transfer in Double-Degenerate Type Ia Supernovae
Rebecca G. Martin, Christopher A. Tout, Pierre Lesaffre
Doubly-degenerate binary systems consisting of two white dwarfs both composed of carbon and oxygen and close enough that mass is transferred from the less massive to the more massi…
The C-flash and the ignition conditions of type Ia supernovae
P. Lesaffre, Z. Han, C. A. Tout +2
Thanks to a stellar evolution code able to compute through the C-flash we link the binary population synthesis of single degenerate progenitors of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) to th…
