Thermonuclear Supernova Explosion Criteria for Direct and Indirect Collisions of CO White Dwarfs: A Study of the Impact-parameter Threshold for Detonation

The physical collisions of two white dwarfs (WDs; i.e., not slow mergers) have been shown to produce Type Ia–like supernova (SN) explosions. Most studies of WD collisions have focused on zero impact-parameter (direct) collisions, which can also be studied in 2D. However, the vast majority of WD coll...
