Three hypervelocity white dwarfs in Gaia DR2: Evidence for dynamically driven double-degenerate double-detonation type Ia supernovae

Double detonations in double white dwarf (WD) binaries undergoing unstable mass transfer have emerged in recent years as one of the most promising Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitor scenarios. One potential outcome of this "dynamically driven double-degenerate double-detonation" (D6) sce...
