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 …

Double detonations in double white dwarf (WD) binaries undergoing unstable mass transfer
have emerged in recent years as one of the most promising Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) …

We review the theoretical background and the observational searches made for surviving
companions of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). Theory comprises the characteristics of the …

Double detonations of sub-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarfs (WDs) in unstably mass-
transferring double WD binaries have become one of the leading contenders to explain most …

Recent observations suggest our understanding of mass loss in classical novae is
incomplete, motivating a new theoretical examination of the physical processes responsible …

The community agrees that Type Ia supernovae arise from carbon/oxygen white dwarfs
undergoing thermonuclear runaway. However, the full progenitor system and the process …

We consider the situation where the luminosity from a transient event is reprocessed by an
optically thick wind. Potential applications are the tidal disruption of stars by black holes …

The sub-Chandrasekhar-mass double-detonation (DDet) scenario is a contemporary model
for Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). The donor star in the DDet scenario is expected to survive …

We have studied double-detonation explosions in double-degenerate (DD) systems with
different companion white dwarfs (WDs) for modeling Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) by …

Abstract Type Iax supernovae (SNe Iax) represent the largest class of peculiar white dwarf
supernovae. The type Iax SN 2012Z in NGC 1309 is the only white dwarf supernova with a …
