2 | Unless the companion is directly observable and its mass can be estimated by other means. | |
3 | Burst And Transient Source Experiment [21]. | |
4 | A signal with such an increasing frequency is reminiscent of the chirp of a bird. This explains the origin
of the term “chirp mass” for the parameter ![]() |
|
5 | For the first supernova explosion without kick this is always satisfied. | |
6 | Instead of Monte Carlo simulations one may use a sufficiently dense grid in the 3D space of binary parameters and
integrate over this grid (see, e.g., [423![]() |

7 | Note that similar low values of ![]() ![]() ![]() |

8 | If a network of three detectors, such as two LIGOs and VIRGO, runs simultaneously, the ![]() ![]() |

9 | Flickering is a fast intrinsic brightness scintillation occurring on time scales from seconds to minutes with amplitudes of 0.01 – 1 mag and suggesting an ongoing mass transfer. | |
10 | Remarkably, a clear-cut confirmation of the binary nature of AM CVn and the determination of its true period awaited for almost 25 years [282]. | |
11 | The recent discovery of SN Ia SN 2003fg with a mass estimate ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
12 | All these caveats date back as far as to MacDonalds’ 1984 paper [244] but are still not resolved. | |
13 | The recently discovered hydrogen-rich SN Ia 2001ic and similarly 1997cy [132] may belong to the so-called SN 1.5 type or occur in a symbiotic system [58]. | |
14 | The reported discovery of Tycho Brahe’s 1572 SN Ia companion [361] is not confirmed as yet. | |
15 | These numbers, like also for models discussed below, represent one random realization of the model and are subject to Poisson noise. | |
16 | This is true for short-period systems, but becomes an oversimplification at longer periods and for ![]() |
