In this paper we report some specific features of the numerical technique used to study the dynamic evolution of massive white dwarfs following the explosive ignition of nuclear fuel under degenerate conditions. We focus ...

When a neutron star is born as a result of the accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of a white dwarf, a small but signi_cant fraction of its mass can be simultaneously expelled at a velocity of around 104 kms −1. In this paper ...
