Journal ArticleDOI

Double-detonation sub-Chandrasekhar supernovae: can minimum helium shell masses detonate the core?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether a surface helium detonation is capable of triggering a subsequent detonation in the core even for this limiting case, based on approximate detonation initiation criteria in the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI

NORMAL TYPE Ia SUPERNOVAE FROM VIOLENT MERGERS OF WHITE DWARF BINARIES

TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation of a violent merger of two carbon-oxygen white dwarfs with masses of 0.9 M and 1.1 M was presented, where a well-tested combination of codes was used to study the system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sub-luminous type Ia supernovae from the mergers of equal-mass white dwarfs with mass ~0.9Msolar

TL;DR: A simulation of the merger of two equal-mass white dwarfs that leads to a sub-luminous explosion, although at the expense of requiring a single common-envelope phase, and component masses of ∼0.9M⊙.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detonations in sub-chandrasekhar-mass c+o white dwarfs

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed one-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations, associated post-processing nucleosynthesis, and multi-wavelength radiation transport calculations for pure detonations of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (WDs).
