Recurrent Novae: Progenitors of SN Ia?
Rolf Walder, Doris Folini, Jean M. Favre +1
We present 3D hydrodynamical simulations of the separated binary RS Ophiuchi (RS Oph), a recurrent nova and potential progenitor of a SN Ia. RS Oph is composed of a red giant (RG)…
Supersonically Turbulent, Shock Bound Interaction Zones
Doris Folini, Rolf Walder, Jean M. Favre
Shock bound interaction zones (SBIZs) are ubiquitous in astrophysics. We present numerical results for 2D and 3D, plane-parallel, infinitely extended SBIZs. Isothermal settings and…
The different progenitors of type Ib, Ic SNe, and of GRB
Cyril Georgy, Georges Meynet, Rolf Walder +2
We discuss the properties of the progenitors of core collapse SNe, as they can be deduced from rotating stellar models of single stars. The type of the SN progenitor was determined…
