      Article
      Open Access
      The origins of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are still debated. Some of the leading scenarios involve a double detonation in double white dwarf (WD) systems. In these scenarios, helium shell detonation occurs on top of a ...

      Article
      Open Access
      High-field magnetic white dwarfs have been long suspected to be the result of stellar mergers. However, the nature of the coalescing stars and the precise mech anism that produces the magnetic field are still unknown. ...

      Article
      Open Access
      It has been recently proposed that the ejected matter from white dwarf (WD) binary mergers can produce transient, optical and infrared emission similar to the "kilonovae" of neutron star (NS) binary mergers. To confirm ...

      Context. The coalescence of two white dwarfs is the final outcome of a sizeable fraction of binary stellar systems. Moreover, this process has been proposed to explain several interesting astrophysical phenomena. Aims. ...

    • Nucleosynthesis during the merger of white dwarfs and the origin of R Coronae Borealis stars 

      Longland, Richard Leigh; Lorén Aguilar, Pablo; José Pont, Jordi; García-Berro Montilla, Enrique; Althaus, Leandro Gabriel; Isern Vilaboy, Jordi (2011-08-20)
      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      Many hydrogen-deficient stars are characterized by surface abundance patterns that are hard to reconcile with conventional stellar evolution. Instead, it has been suggested that they may represent the result of a merger ...
