Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleNUCLEAR DETONATION AROUND COMPACT OBJECTSC. Sivaram, Kenath Arun, O.V. KirenIn this study we explore the various aspects involved in nuclear detonations occurring around compact objects and the energetics involved. We discuss the possibility of sub-Chandrasekhar white dwarfs detonating due to the buildup of a layer of hydrogen on the CO white dwarf by accreting from a companion star to explain observed deviations such as subluminous type Ia. We also … …Physics International, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2014 · 8,229 accessesView PDF Cite
