Near-Chandrasekhar-Mass Type Ia Supernovae from the Double-Degenerate Channel
Sudarshan Neopane, Khanak Bhargava, Robert Fisher +4
Recent observational evidence has demonstrated that white dwarf (WD) mergers are a highly efficient mechanism for mass accretion onto WDs in the galaxy. In this paper, we show that…
Spatially Resolved X-ray Study of Supernova Remnant G306.30.9 with Unusually High Calcium Abundance
Jianbin Weng, Ping Zhou, Yang Chen +6
G306.30.9 is an asymmetric Galactic supernova remnant (SNR), whose progenitor has been thought to be a Type Ia supernova (SN), but its high Ca abundance appears inconsistent wit…
Combined analysis of neutron star natal kicks using proper motions and parallax measurements for radio pulsars and Be X-ray binaries
Andrei P. Igoshev, Martyna Chruslinska, Andris Dorozsmai +1
Supernova explosion and the associated neutron star natal kicks are important events on a pathway of a binary to become a gravitational wave source, an X-ray binary or a millisecon…
New Clues to the Evolution of Dwarf Carbon Stars From Their Variability and X-ray Emission
Benjamin R. Roulston, Paul J. Green, Rodolfo Montez +6
As main-sequence stars with CO, dwarf carbon (dC) stars are never born alone but inherit carbon-enriched material from a former asymptotic giant branch (AGB) companion. In contr…
Observationally driven Galactic double white dwarf population for LISA
Valeriya Korol, Na'ama Hallakoun, Silvia Toonen +1
Realistic models of the Galactic double white dwarf (DWD) population are crucial for testing and quantitatively defining the science objectives of the Laser Interferometer Space An…
Unexpected Short-Period Variability in Dwarf Carbon Stars from the Zwicky Transient Facility
Benjamin R. Roulston, Paul J. Green, Silvia Toonen +1
Dwarf carbon (dC) stars, main sequence stars showing carbon molecular bands, are enriched by mass transfer from a previous asymptotic-giant-branch (AGB) companion, which has since…
Thermonuclear explosion of a massive hybrid HeCO white-dwarf triggered by a He-detonation on a companion
Ruediger Pakmor, Yossef Zenati, Hagai B. Perets +1
Normal type Ia supernovae (SNe) are thought to arise from the thermonuclear explosion of massive ( M) carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (WDs), although the exact mechanism i…
