We discuss the effects of rotation on the evolution of accreting carbon-oxygen white dwarfs, with the emphasis on possible consequences in Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitors. Starting with a slowly rotating white dwarf, we consider the accretion of matter and angular momentum from a quasi-Keplerian accretion disk. Numerical simulations with initial white dwarf masses of 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0 Mand accretion of carbon-oxygen rich matter at rates of 3 ... 10 × 10 −7 M� /yr are performed. The models… Expand

Effects of rotation on the helium burning shell source in accreting white dwarfs
We investigate the effects of rotation on the behavior of the helium-burning shell source in accreting carbon-oxygen white dwarfs, in the context of the single degenerate Chandrasekhar mass… Expand
On the evolution of rapidly rotating massive white dwarfs towards supernovae or collapses
A recent study indicated that the inner cores of rapidly accreting (M > 10 -7 M ○. yr -1 ) CO white dwarfs may rotate differentially, with a shear fate near the threshold value for the onset of the… Expand
Helium accreting CO white dwarfs with rotation: Helium novae instead of double detonation
We present evolutionary models of helium-accreting carbon-oxygen white dwarfs in which we include the effects of the spin-up of the accreting star induced by angular momentum accretion, rotationally… Expand
Helium ignition in rotating magnetized CO white dwarfs leading to fast and faint rather than classical type Ia supernovae
Based mostly on stellar models which do not include rotation, CO white dwarfs which accrete helium at rates of about $\sim 10^{-8}~\mathrm{M}_\odot/\mathrm{yr}$ have been put forward as candidate… Expand
Multidimensional simulations of the accretion-induced collapse of white dwarfs to neutron stars
We present 2.5D radiation-hydrodynamics simulations of the accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of white dwarfs, starting from 2D rotational equilibrium configurations of a 1.46-M⊙ and a 1.92-M⊙ model.… Expand
Axisymmetric general relativistic simulations of the accretion-induced collapse of white dwarfs
The accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of a white dwarf may lead to the formation of a protoneutron star and a collapse-driven supernova explosion. This process represents a path alternative to… Expand
Differentially Rotating White Dwarfs I: Regimes of Internal Rotation
Most viable models of Type Ia supernovae (SN~Ia) require the thermonuclear explosion of a carbon/oxygen white dwarf that has evolved in a binary system. Rotation could be an important aspect of any… Expand

Nickel-rich outflows from accretion discs formed by the accretion-induced collapse of white dwarfs
A white dwarf (WD) approaching the Chandrasekhar mass may in several circumstances undergo accretion-induced collapse (AIC) to a neutron star (NS) before a thermonuclear explosion ensues. It has… Expand
