Evolutionary models for the remnant of the merger of two carbon-oxygen core white dwarfs

J Schwab - The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We construct evolutionary models of the remnant of the merger of two carbon-oxygen (CO)
core white dwarfs (WDs). With total masses in the range 1–2 M⊙, these remnants may either …

Hydrodynamic simulations of white dwarf–white dwarf mergers and the origin of R Coronae Borealis stars

S Shiber, O De Marco, PM Motl… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
We study the properties of double white dwarf (DWD) mergers by performing hydrodynamic
simulations using the new and improved adaptive mesh refinement code octo-tiger. We …

Evolutionary models for R Coronae Borealis stars

J Schwab - The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract We use Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) to construct stellar
evolution models that reach a hydrogen-deficient, carbon-rich giant phase like the R …

The dawn of a new era for dustless HdC stars with Gaia eDR3

P Tisserand, CL Crawford, GC Clayton… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Context. Decades after their discovery, only four hydrogen-deficient carbon (HdC) stars were
known to have no circumstellar dust shell. This is in complete contrast to the∼ 130 known …

A plethora of new R Coronae Borealis stars discovered from a dedicated spectroscopic follow-up survey

P Tisserand, GC Clayton, MS Bessell… - Astronomy & …, 2020 - aanda.org
Context. It is more and more suspected that R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars–rare hydrogen-
deficient and carbon-rich supergiant stars–are the products of mergers of CO/He white-dwarf …

Harnessing billions of tasks for a scalable portable hydrodynamic simulation of the merger of two stars

T Heller, BA Lelbach, KA Huck… - … Journal of High …, 2019 - journals.sagepub.com
We present a highly scalable demonstration of a portable asynchronous many-task
programming model and runtime system applied to a grid-based adaptive mesh refinement …

The role of dredge-up in double white dwarf mergers

JE Staff, B Wiggins, D Marcello, PM Motl… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the results of an investigation of the dredge-up and mixing during the merger of
two white dwarfs (WDs) with different chemical compositions by conducting hydrodynamic …

Light curves for 10 R Coronae Borealis stars for longer than a century: secular evolution, dip statistics, and a general model for the shape of isolated light-curve dips

BE Schaefer - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT R Coronae Borealis stars (RCBs) are cool supergiants that display non-periodic
deep dips in brightness. Recently, a group of 'Hot RCB stars' has been discovered to be fast …
