Critical Mass Transfer in Double-Degenerate Type Ia Supernovae
Doubly-degenerate binary systems consisting of two white dwarfs both composed of carbon and oxygen and close enough that mass is transferred from the less massive to the more massive are possible progenitors of type Ia supernovae. If the mass transfer rate is slow enough that the accreting white dwarf can reach a mass of 1.38M⊙ then it can ignite carbon degenerately at its centre. This can lead...
متن کاملReconciling 56ni Production in Type Ia Supernovae with Double Degenerate Scenarios
Binary white dwarf (WD) coalescence driven by gravitational waves or collisions in triple systems are potential progenitors of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). We combine the distribution of 56Ni inferred from observations of SNe Ia with the results of both sub-Chandrasekhar detonation models and direct collision calculations to estimate what mass WDs should be exploding in each scenario to reprodu...
متن کاملSearch for Double Degenerate Progenitors of Supernovae Type Ia with Spy
We report on a large survey for double degenerate (DD) binaries as potential progenitors of type Ia supernovae with the UVES spectrograph at the ESO VLT (ESO SN Ia Progenitor surveY – SPY).
متن کاملMulti-dimensional simulations of radiative transfer in Type Ia supernovae
A three-dimensional Monte Carlo code for modelling radiation transport in Type Ia supernovae is described. In addition to tracking Monte Carlo quanta to follow the emission, scattering and deposition of radiative energy, a scheme involving volumebased Monte Carlo estimators is used to allow properties of the emergent radiation field to be extracted for specific viewing angles in a multi-dimensi...
متن کاملType Ia Supernovae
Type Ia Supernovae are in many aspects still enigmatic objects. Their observational and theoretical exploration is in full swing, but we still have plenty to learn about these explosions. Recent years have already witnessed a bonanza of supernova observations. The increased samples from dedicated searches have allowed the statistical investigation of Type Ia Supernovae as a class. The observati...
