Double CO WD systems from the WD+He subgiant channel and type Ia supernovae

Recent studies suggested that at least some of the observed SNe Ia originate from the double-degenerate model, which involves the merging of double carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (CO WDs). However, the delay time distributions predicted by previous theoretical studies are inconsistent with the observed...
