A comparison of hydrodynamic techniques for modelling collisions between main-sequence stars
Abstract
An Eulerian total variation diminishing (TVD) code and a Lagrangian smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code are used to simulate the off-axis collision of equal-mass main-sequence stars in order to address the question of whether stellar mergers can produce a remnant star where the interior has been replenished with hydrogen due to significant mixing. Each parent main-sequence star is chosen to be found near the turn-off, with hydrogen …
