The DBL Survey II: towards a mass-period distribution of double white dwarf binaries
James Munday, Ingrid Pelisoli, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +14
Double white dwarf binaries are an important remnant of binary evolution as they are possible type Ia supernova progenitors and strong sources of gravitational waves in the low-fre…

Comparing population synthesis models of compact double white dwarfs to electromagnetic observations
Wouter G. J. van Zeist, Jan van Roestel, Gijs Nelemans +3
Context: Studies of the Galactic population of double white dwarfs (DWDs) that would be detectable in gravitational waves by LISA have found differences in the number of predicted…

A super-Chandrasekhar mass type Ia supernova progenitor at 49 pc set to detonate in 23 Gyr
James Munday, Ruediger Pakmor, Ingrid Pelisoli +9
Double white dwarf binaries are a leading explanation to the origin of type Ia supernovae, but no system exceeding the Chandrasekhar mass limit (1.4 M) has been found that…
