Abstract:
|
We present a nucleosynthesis study of the merger of a 0.4 M⊙ helium white dwarf with a 0.8 M⊙ carbon-oxygen white dwarf, coupling the thermodynamic history of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics particles with a post-processing code.
The resulting chemical abundance pattern, particularly for oxygen and fluorine, is in
qualitative agreement with the observed abundances in R Coronae Borealis stars. |
