Notes: Abstract We study the evolution of solid, CO white dwarfs after explosive carbon ignition at central densities around 1010 g cm−3 triggered by steady accretion in a close binary system, in order to elucidate whether these stars can collapse to form a neutron star. We show that as long as the velocity of the burning front remains below a critical value of 0.006c s (∼60 km s−1), gravitational collapse is the final fate. These calculations support the accretion-induced collapse (AIC) scenario for the origin of a fraction of low-mass X-ray binaries.
