Towards an understanding of Type Ia supernovae from a synthesis of theory and observations

W Hillebrandt, M Kromer, FK Röpke, AJ Ruiter - Frontiers of Physics, 2013 - Springer
Motivated by the fact that calibrated light curves of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have
become a major tool to determine the expansion history of the Universe, considerable …

Progenitors of type Ia supernovae

The evolution of compact binary star systems

KA Postnov, LR Yungelson - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2014 - Springer
We review the formation and evolution of compact binary stars consisting of white dwarfs
(WDs), neutron stars (NSs), and black holes (BHs). Mergings of compact-star binaries are …
