POPCORN: Case A, B or C? (ZOOM)

The plots are shown in the case of conservative mass transfer for all the systems that form WDs with a mass higher than 0.48 Msun. The different cases of mass transfer (for the primary star) are highlighted.

Data

Red = All systems

Green = Case A (no distinction made between A and AB)

Blue = Case Br

Pink = Case Bc

Light blue = Case C

Yellow = Case BrB

Black = Case BcB

Orange = Case CB

Comment1: Second B means: The primary fills Roche lobe again as a He-star. (Therefore CB: first case C (when star on E-AGB and fills it again as a He-giant))

Comment2: When He-star fills the Roche lobe, no distinction is made if this is stable or not

Unbinned data

Systems that form (minimum) 1 WD

Systems that form 2 WDs
