Scientific paper

The authors present the results of the hydrodynamic collapse of an accreting C+O white dwarf. Collapse is induced by electron captures in the iron core behind a conductive deflagration front. The shock wave produced by the hydrodynamic bounce of the iron core stalls at about 115 km, and thus a neutron star formed in such a model would be formed as an optically quiet event.
