Ofrecimiento BECA DOCTORAL PICT 2017

Beca Doctoral Nivel Inicial, de 3 años de duración, enmarcada en un 
proyecto PICT 2017 de la Agencia Nacional de Promoción Científica y 
Tecnológica.

Título del Proyecto: TOWARD THE NEXT STEP ON OUR UNDERSTANDING OF 
SYMBIOTIC STARS.

Director: Gerardo Juan Manuel Luna
Deadline: aproximadamente en un plazo de 2 meses (a determinar por 
Foncyt)
Lugar de Trabajo: IAFE/Conicet o ICATE/Conicet

Descripción del Tema de Investigación:

The scientific goal of this project is to perform a broad study of 
symbiotic binary systems, including a survey of those symbiotics 
accreting at a high rate which are likely type Ia supernovae progenitors 
and an in-deep analysis of observational data of known systems to study 
the nature of the accreting object and the accretion mechanism/s. 
Symbiotic stars have been proposed to be progenitors of at least some 
type Ia Supernovae (SNIa), but comparisons with model predictions are 
limited by the small number of known systems, and the few systems for 
which white dwarf mass and accretion rate are determined. With the 
current and forthcoming supernova surveys, questions of how white dwarf 
in binary systems accumulate mass, interact, and erupt could not be more 
timely. Our research will shed light into questions in different areas, 
from binary stellar evolution to modern cosmology.
