We review how the single degenerate models for Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) works. In the
binary star system of a white dwarf (WD) and its non-degenerate companion star, the WD …

The detonation of a sub-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf (WD) has emerged as one of the
most promising Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitor scenarios. Recent studies have …

We present results for a suite of 14 three-dimensional, high-resolution hydrodynamical
simulations of delayed-detonation models of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) explosions. This …

One of the most important questions regarding the progenitor systems of Type Ia
supernovae (SNe Ia) is whether mergers of two white dwarfs can lead to explosions that …

We review the current status of compact object simulations that are based on the smooth
particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The first main part of this review is dedicated to SPH …

The explosion of sub-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarfs via the double detonation scenario
is a potential explanation for type Ia supernovae. In this scenario, a surface detonation in a …

ABSTRACT The progenitors of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are still unknown, despite
significant progress during the past several years in theory and observations. Violent …

Type Ia supernovae are thought to result from thermonuclear explosions of carbon–oxygen
white dwarf stars. Existing models generally explain the observed properties, with the …

We investigate whether pure deflagration models of Chandrasekhar-mass carbon–oxygen
white dwarf stars can account for one or more subclass of the observed population of Type …

Sub-Chandrasekhar mass carbon-oxygen white dwarfs with a surface helium shell have
been proposed as progenitors of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). If true, the resulting …
