Multi-Dimensional Simulations of the Accretion-Induced Collapse of White Dwarfs to Neutron Stars

open access: yes, 2006
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-Msun and a 1.92-Msun model.
