Abstract
The long-term evolution of accreting C-O white dwarfs as a possible source of neutron stars and/or SNI events is considered. The effects of solidification of the star’s core are included, in particular carbon-oxygen separation. Different degrees of chemical differentiation and a wide range of accretion rates are studied. We determine the pre-flash configurations and we show that a variety of results are possible, ranging from total collapse to partial disruption due to off-centre ignition of carbon.
