Local 2D Simulations of the Ignition of a Helium Shell Detonation on a White Dwarf by an Impacting Stream

The double detonation model is one of the prevalent explosion mechanisms of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) wherein an outer helium shell detonation triggers a core detonation in the white dwarf (WD). The dynamically driven double degenerate double detonation (D ^6 ) is the double detonation of the more...
