Triple Evolution: An Important Channel in the Formation of Type Ia Supernovae

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are thought to be the result of thermonuclear explosions in white dwarfs (WDs). Commonly considered formation pathways include two merging WDs (the double-degenerate channel) and a single WD accreting material from a H or He donor (the single-degenerate channel). Since th...
