Coronae Borealis Stars: Evidence for White Dwarf Mergers
We have found that at least seven hydrogen-deficient carbon (HdC) and R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars, have O/O ratios close to and in some cases less than unity, values that are orders of magnitude lower than measured in other stars (the Solar value is 500). Greatly enhanced O is evident in every HdC and RCB we have measured that is cool enough to have detectable CO bands. The three HdC stars m...
متن کاملOn the brightness distribution of Type Ia supernovae from violent white dwarf mergers
We investigate the brightness distribution expected for thermonuclear explosions that might result from the ignition of a detonation during the violent merger of white dwarf (WD) binaries. Violent WD mergers are a subclass of the canonical double degenerate scenario where two carbon-oxygen (CO) WDs merge when the larger WD fills its Roche-lobe. Determining their brightness distribution is criti...
متن کاملthe black hole and the white dwarf
astrophysics is becoming now an integral part of general physics. considering the black hole theory ,which is a new and exciting branch of relativistic astrophysics, we see many connections between elementary particle physics and astrophysics. in this article we attempt to explain the development of star physics ,in an easy ,understandable manner. previous knowledge of relativistic theory or cl...
متن کاملWhite Dwarf – Red Dwarf Systems Resolved with the Hubble Space Telescope: I. First Results
First results are presented for a Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys snapshot study of white dwarfs with likely red dwarf companions. Of 48 targets observed and analyzed so far, 27 are totally or partially resolved into two or more components, while an additional 15 systems are almost certainly unresolved binaries. These results provide the first direct empirical evidence for a ...
متن کاملSatellite Dwarf Galaxies in a Hierarchical Universe: the Prevalence of Dwarf-dwarf Major Mergers
Mergers are a common phenomenon in hierarchical structure formation, especially for massive galaxies and clusters, but their importance for dwarf galaxies in the Local Group remains poorly understood. We investigate the frequency of major mergers between dwarf galaxies in the Local Group using the ELVIS suite of cosmological zoom-in dissipationless simulations of Milky Wayand M31-like host halo...
