Light Curves and Spectra from a Thermonuclear Explosion of a White Dwarf Merger
Daniel R. van Rossum, Rahul Kashyap, Robert Fisher +5
Double-degenerate (DD) mergers of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs have recently emerged as a leading candidate for normal Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). However, many outstanding question…

Spiral Disk Instability Can Drive Thermonuclear Explosions in Binary White Dwarf Mergers
Rahul Kashyap, Robert Fisher, Enrique García-Berro +3
Thermonuclear, or Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), originate from the explosion of carbon--oxygen white dwarfs, and serve as standardizable cosmological candles. However, despite their…
